Look at them, i really need to get my *** into gear and sort them out.

 

Got to jump on a sweet deal for a cold air intake system for $120 brand new (and yes it will fit) so now thinking "what's next?" haha

 

Bought her well as of 10pm last night. Will post pics soon.

 

Called a local dealership to figure out the cost for a compression test...the service manager told me because its a rotary engine it can't be compression tested

 

Hooked it up to a battery tender.

 

Taking a small road trip to Houma, get the front main seal replaced.

 

compression test on an S2 already?

 

Technically he is correct...

Also the dealers call it a Baro Test.

 

Fixed an exhaust leak. (If you buy a new midpipe be sure to check both sets of springs to see which one is better BEFORE you lower the car.) The watched my 8 sit in the sun while I reorganized my garage and cleaned up my toolbox that was getting out of hand messy.

 

I sold my 8 today. It was a great day but at the same time a really sad one. Giving up one of the most wonderful pieces of my life that I know I will come to regret in a few months takes a toll on the human psyche. I gave my brother the keys, slid my hand one last time over the curves of the car, and hopped in the front seat of my buddy's Veloster. My life will never be the same. Just messing, but seriously, I cried a little on the inside. Goodbye rotary, it was fun while it lasted.

 

Why not? I tested my rear rotor a little more than 10k miles ago and ended up with 107,108,109 after corrections for altitude and rpm. I only tested to get an idea where the motor was at since I bought it with 18k miles already on it. Not the greatest number I could have gotten but its not horrible either I guess.

 

Bought some used wheels, refinished them, and threw on some spacers.

 

^ what color is that? Blackcherry? and the little lip on the bottom in the front?

I like it!

 

Yeah, it's Black Cherry. And the lip is the infamous "HD Lip Kit". (HD = Home Depot )

Thanks!

 

Sped past a police car at 80mph and had to escape =O

 

LOL, what isle in Home Depot? Thinking of putting one over mine to cover the scratches I've made on my OEM front lip.
You're lucky you don't live in United States. 80 mph in the street will get you in the "4 o'clock Breaking News", then I would have taken a picture and posted you in I Saw You Today thread!

 

Today I got a random brand new set of tires for the 8 ...and by random I mean got some random money and went and got new ones for my surpirse trip back out to NM

 

Swapped out my Autometer Wideband AFR gauge and sensor with an Innovate LC-1 and G3 gauge. I then wired in the LC-1 to my Adaptronic ECU so that it can get a good wide range digital read.

 

What are the bars on the engine for?

Noob question.. :p

 

Bars are where you meet easy women that scare you the next morning.

 

huh?

 

Today I left my car in the driveway to go across the country for a week. I wil miss her.

 

Got ac compressor replaced along with new evap and condenser.. loving the cold ac in this texas heat.. if only i could get rid of the cabin heat surges from the floorboard.

 

Drove it through a tunnel WOT while redlining in second then got yelled at by two other drivers because the "POP" scared them

 

Went to the shift s3ctor event a willow springs today with AE performance.
Did pretty good for driving with street tires (yokohama parada spec-2) on but half way thru the day tires started getting greasy lowered the pressure (it was 107F today) did good until a few laps in and got greasy again, so next track day bringing some fresh rs-3 or NTO1.

on another note the flex-a-lite fan controller did the job hottest I got was 220 (not good I know) under hard driving and 107F temp took a pit 3-5min later temp drop to 190 so it was worth it.

so yep a pretty fun day with the 8 trying to stay ahead of a Z4 hard top and M3 as long as possible had to throw in the pass me wave a few times
