Yep... That's what pops up by pressing, at the same time, both the Power button and scan down of the radio. Turn the radio off then on and it goes away.
AND EDIT/RESIZE YOUR IMAGES, IT'S TOO LARGE!!! |
Installed the GOODbox! :D
|
Left it sitting in the parking lot while I drove a HUMVEE to the range -_- Mores the pity.

Added the GROM Bluetooth/ipod/usb adapter to my radio and disconnected the SAT since I dont believe in paying for radio. Now I can get my phone calls, bluetooth songs + ipod songs.
|
I called the guy who stores my car in his garage to notify him that I will need an extension for Roxy's hibernation... :tear:
EDIT: chino_rx3, please resize your pictures! WAY TOO FRIGGIN LARGE!!! |
Getting tint put on as I cruise the forums. Puddle light install hopefully tomorrow.
|
Posted my RX8 for sale...Will sell if i get a good offer...Check out the new posts...
|
Bought and installed ipod holder and added ipod cable for my Grom setup. Now I can play ipod music, which can be cut in by iphone music or iphone call. Now to add the ipad next.
|
Well after 4 months of hibernation, I just pulled the car out. Fluids where good, no nests in the exhaust, but all 4 tires are where down 4 pounds on air (fixed).
Supposed to be cold at -3c today but +13c tomorrow so going for a nice ride. Happy motoring to me |
Been up in Big Bear a few times the past years with the RX-8, this will be the first with a roof rack(not trying to do the JDM-scene).

I tuned all my new stance coilover suspension it has been on a week so it has settled a bit. I tweaked it and dial out a bit of the oversteer I had at the last autocross event. Hopefully I will be a little quicker next time. I was the 3rd fastest car on street tires and want to be the fastest.

Attachment 182604 Attachment 182605Well after 4 months of cold storage I pulled the car out and went for a nice long ride. Only fix was 4 pounds of air in all 4 tires(that was easy) |
Wash and drove it and did not have to put gas in. But all bets are off on that tomorrow. Also got my ipad RAM stand in. Will add to the car tomorrow.
|
I'm sure I'll get bashed on this, installed YAKIMA roof rack and added a basket. The RX-8 is now officially a grocery car!

That's not so bad... That's how mine looked after the first time deflooding my car for two hours.
Took almost 2 hours of driving to burn off all the ATF. The first 10 minutes driving down the road people were trying to get out my way, flag me down, small animals and children ran for their lives. Honestly like a Batman smoke screen ... maybe not quite as bad a seafoam but close. |
How much did you put in there?

Had some rain a few days back which left water spots and other undesirables all over the car. Yesterday, on my way to work, I stop at a touchless car wash to get rid of the nasty stuff. Looked good for the rest of the day. Today however, I find my BB is now pollen yellow. Arrrgh!
|
Found muddy cat footprints all up the hood in the morning. Later, a coworker commented on it. Took it to the car wash after work. Makes me want to camp out and watch for the little bastard.
