also, the Grand Am/Grand Prix of Miami Tickets are on sale, 2 day tickets with infield parking for both days for $55! anyone else wanna come?

 

Check on rx7club first...they usually have a caravan of rotary's going and will give a group discount with paddock passes and possible parade laps. I plan on going but I need to sort out the car first.

 

ill check over there... i havent paid for my tickets yet so ill jump over there now and ask. hell i went last year and i had a blast, if we dont get parade laps idgaf lol
best of luck with the car man!

 

I wana go. Post a link of this caravan!

 

I didnt find anything up on rx7club yet, but the tickets im buying are the $55 two days tickets.. (text me/pm me if you guys want them cheaper, ill need the cash to buy the tickets in advance but i can get them a little bit cheaper (not much, only a few bucks) since i went last year)

 

Going for sure.

 

I just recently got an RX8 its all stock so I want to do some mods on it like the cat back exhaust so I went to a muffler shop and the guy there told me to just get rid of the stock muffler and go straight pipe but just from axle back...keeping the stock mid pipe and everything else...I don't know what to do any advice on this???????

 

Some searching will help but to make it a quick answer, taking out the cat will give you the best performance gain.

 

If you didnt find anything on Rx7club then call the ticket master for Homestead and ask them if they are having the rotary car club coral...also ask if they have the package that includes the paddock pass...that pass is more important than the tickets to watch the race...TRUST me! You get to breath on the cars and talk to the drivers/owners etc.

 

Chris, thats what im getting... But ill ask about the rotary corral

 

What's a good body shop in Miami that deals with our 8's? Man I'm trying to fix my headunit. I took it to some shop like 2 years ago and the radio is kind of loose. They even lost my screws.

Thing is, I took it to install an iPod adapter. And when they removed the radio it went all crazy. Yea, long story. I just need someone to fix that crap. I'm already tired. It's not damaged, just loose. I need the damn screws. And that shop doesn't exist anymore. LOL.

 

Mazda pros (954) 364-4344
Cavemancan recommended them. Edgar(owner) took good care of my baby

 

Does anyone know where I can get a passenger seat airbag for an 04 with cloth seats? I've been searching but to no avail. I found one guy craigslist who had one, but he was asking $250 for it. Little over priced if you ask me. Anyone have any ideas???

 

Craigslist would have been my suggestion.

Is anybody going to the SFLA Mazda Crew meet at chipotle? I just washed my car inside out and I don't want to be the only rotard out there.

 

Where...what time?

 

I cant go to those meets... work has me stuck there wednesday nights till 11pm.
I will be attending the autox on the 25th in homestead for sure, anyone else?
i will also be going to the grand prix for sure...anyone else?

 

If someone can help me locate a cheap OEM alternator I will go to the Auto-X on the 25th. CHOP CHOP! Plus I need a place to install it. SERIOUSLY!!! ASAP! PLEASE!!

 

alternator? can install that relatively quickly ourselves, a friend of mine/forum member just did it about a week ago with minimal tools. we just need to find one.

 

The only issue is the pulley. It needs to be torqued to spec which I believe is like 90 ft/lbs ish...can anyone confirm?

 

It was yesterday. I didn't end up going.

I checked the shop manual and couldn't find anything about the pulley specs. I did find the torque settings for the bolts that hold the alt in place if that helps.

 

It does but surprised the pulley wasn't included...lol

 

so this is a bit off subject but i just wanted to see what you guys thought about getting a bhr ignition upgrade. i been looking around and see a lot of good things on here about them. have any of you guys bought and installed any of their products?

 

Caveman has it and it's next on my list of mods. I think all the reviews speak for itself.

 

I know it's short notice but me and RX8SHNKVI will be out at towers tonight. Hopefully we see a few other guys out there.

 

Instead of an M3 look at a 335i, 335is, or 135i. With a juicebox they'll leave an m3 behind.
