The grimlin is finding it way around, coils fixed the stalling issue, but the orignal issue with the buring smell when the a/c was turned on is the cooling fans.

So hopefully wednesday I will have it back. So in the past month I will have put about $1500 into the car.

We wil see how it all plays out.

nice post Jose. We will have to see if we can get the participation up!!!!!

 

The Tampa Bay Rotary Owners Club (TBROC) would like to gather input from all Florida rotary groups and owners on creating a well thought out and executed annual rotary meet/Dyno day in the Tampa Bay Area. We are currently looking into Dyno facilities that will be capable of housing a large number of cars, provide adequate facilities, and have available food and lodging nearby. We would like to model this meet after Rotor Fest. We are planning to have a best in Show, dyno competitions for 12a n/a and 12a boosted (turbo, supercharger or spray) and 13b n/a and 13b boosted (turbo, supercharger or spray). A 20b category will be added in the event there are enough 20bs attending. We would like to hold this meet in the Fall in order to provide a slightly better climate for our cars as well as giving everyone enough time to prepare for the trip. We will begin sitting down with local shops on FRIDAY MAY 20th to discuss this idea and would like to have input from you, the participants, and what would make this meet enjoyable and worthwhile for you and your families.

TBROC is also considering the opportunity for various Sponsorship of this event as well as space for vendors.

Please feel free to post input and suggestions in the event thread, thanks.

^this looks like it will be fun. I am in for this event!!!!

 

Assuming no more issues with the 8, sounds like both should be fun.

Finally got the car back, The new coils are making a huge difference and no more burning smell with the a/c is turned on.

Thinking I should be able to throw down on a Cobb soon here as well. Would have actually bought it by now, but I guess I can’t complain too much. I have had the car 3 years and have only spent $1500 on repairs.

Everything else was warranty or basic stuff.

 

Sounds like a plan. I think im off for the Nos meet.

 

My exhaust showed up today! I plan to get it installed soon. Pics to hopefully in the next week or so.

 

sweet man!!!

 

Does anyone have a compression testor? I need one asap.

 

Saw this at the local bone yard

Contact Japanese & European auto parts for inventory but car was pretty complete when i saw it 813-623-3333

 

I might need that engine.....

 

This place is like a block from my company's main office.
I'll be there Tuesday if anyone wants to call to check on a part. I be more than happy to help

 

I will be home soon guys, can't wait to make it out to a meet!

 

How long you staying this time?

 

Hopefully close to a year...Hopefully with my luck probably 6-8 months. The good news is that I only have 3 years left!

 

Alright everyone. I am upgrading my sub set up and doing a fiberglass enclosure.

So if you are interested let me know.

Went by there, they are wanting to sell the whole front clip. I told them good luck.

 

How much they asking? If its cheaper then buying my bumper, fender, headlight, fog light, side light, and fender liner brand new... I'm down lol. I called them right after the post with the pics was put up and they said they didn't have it anymore...

 

Mike, are you saying they arent parting out the motor at all?

I just need the solenoid valves

 

They are not willing to part out. I was trying to replace my driverside headlight.

I never asked the price since they were not willing to part it out.

 

They want $2800 for the front clip... Eff that

 

Just got my rx8 and looking to meet other owners learn more about car. But I do love this car so much fun to drive.

 

welcome.... lots to learn!

 

any one in the area know where I can work on my car, I need to get the front end in the air to change the front spoiler. Here temp. till end of July live in apt. no place or thing to raise front end, have the parts just need to have some where to work on it.
