Guys I am running -1.4 front and a neg 1.9 in the back, but what really makes the differance to me is the secret amount of toe in the GT guy does. makes turn in really great and it makes the car a two handed driver on the street. doesnt affect street tire wear. My wear at Roebling was even(before I changed to the konis and teins). I am going back to GT for the same alignment I had before I replaced the shocks/springs.
Anyone want to make it an RX8 day there?

depends, what day are you planning on coming up here to go to GTE. I need to get mine done, but for the next two weeks I am swamped.

 

Got any idea what the toe is?

How're the Koni's and Teins? I'd love to know where you found them. I'm looking for the Koni's myself.

 

May have to change your name to Earl Lee.

 

yeah, yeah. I know, it is not a late apex, but it looks better than all the ones i found for a late apex. I'm workin on one, but I don't have time. Everyone point at the retard...

 

just messin whicha.

 

.

Ordered Revi Intake today!

.

 

i am anxiously counting down the days

 

did you get the whole setup with the duct too? Who is doing your install, or are you going to do it yourself?

 

Intake and duct, I'm letting Charlie put it in for me.

 

I see, you dont want to get your hands dirty huh?

 

I support my pusher!

 

Stretch marks suck I am told.

 

Got my springs and konis through DPE (vendor on this forum(Driven performance) They are a tad bit higher than Rosenthal Mazda but their experience and suggestions (they all run these shocks) on the shock settings-spring recommendations etc were invaluable. heck I ordered my track pads from them also and they were out of stock--they offered to remove the ones they had on their car so I would be insured of a set for my upcoming track day. NOW THAT IS SERVICE!. i will always pay a little more for that.
I really like my suspenion set up--not to stiff, fronts adjust easily, rears never need adjusting, the drop was perfect for me and the koni's will last forever. Plus that set up is approx 1/2 the price of good coilovers.
I probaly will not be able to make it to GT until the 1st part of March.

On a side note guys--yall keep us in your prayers please. My lovely wife has to go to the hospital for a breast biopsy next Thursday. 50/50 chance it is cancer but high degree of possibility that it is non invasive( i dont want to get to medical here). Anyway after a lot of prayer on my part I think the Lord has told me that there is nothing to worry about. What that really means I dont know. Remember God talks in feelings not in real words.
Anyway just keep us on yall's prayer list Ok?

I will add her to my Lance Armstrong list and continue to wear it for the cause.

 

Absolutely.

 

Definately gonna say a prayer. My wife had some biopsies done a couple years ago and we were concerned. Everything turned out fine however. I hope fore you too.

 

OD,

We'll be thinking about your wife here too and keep her in our prayers. I wish you the best.

 

You got it OD, please keep us posted on the good news when you hear it.

 

any of you guys who have the RB sways:

mine are starting to sqeak, i know I can get the same grease they shipped with it from RB, are there any other options?

 

I can't answer your question but that brings up more for me. How many miles do you have on the RB Sway's and how often should they be greased?

 

send a PM to Marietta 8, he ran in to this on one of the cars, and he could tell you what to use. I am going to have him grease mine when I take it in just before RA. It will get rid of the squeak.

 

^^^ and post what he said! Inquiring minds want to know.

 

just have him grease your up when he does your intake.

 

Oh yea! Thanks for reminding me. That just put a huge smile on my face!
