I heard they bludgeon those cute baby seals with clubs.

Richard Paul 06-16-2005 02:17 PM

Live and let live, boys. They are probaly out trying to make a living like the rest of us. :) I'm sure they will be back at you when they can.

IZoomZoomI 06-17-2005 11:16 PM

agreed, not to mention they did made a pretty nice dyno queen out the rx8. Have yet to seen a 900hp 350z ;)

canaryrx8 06-18-2005 08:17 AM

I'm kinda' bummed actually, a lot of us dream of 3 rotor this and that and they just up and did it, but then instead of sharing it with everyone and showing what it could do etc.., they never ran it at the track,. never gave reputable dyno numbers...etc...etc They just clouded it in mystery. (approx. this and estimated that) what they did is similar to being married to some ridiculously attractive woman w/o ever getting to have sex with her, what good is that? I hope they're not out on the streets starving or anything bad, but i also hope next time they take on a project they do things differently.

Their website is definately down now, so Iīm kinda disapointed as I wanted the center guage pod for the 8. (The one in piano-finnish). So where can I get that besides former acosta ms???

Chris Rubo of Performance Motorsports (350z) and soon George Ioannou of Racing Technology Consultants (Pro RWD G35) both will be in in excess of 900HP

army_rx8 06-18-2005 11:03 AM

haha i didn't even knwo they had the center gauge pod for sale...but since there site just had cardiac arrest..i guess i'll never know :(

darkducati 06-18-2005 04:18 PM

I actually thought the MS style front bumper with the rotor shaped air intake was pretty neat.

RX8FOREAL 06-18-2005 05:24 PM

There are a lot of haters out there - without knowing what you are taking about ! They did a great job installing my Greddy turbo - no problems. I am going back next week to get the car tuned some, it is running rich at WOT. Their father started the business a while ago and is a good guy. I will report back on why they never raced the 3 rotor car next week and what is going on with their website.

Petrus 06-21-2005 04:44 AM

Ok, so their website is up again.. more or less... But thereīs still no access to their e-store...:(

ACOSTARACING 06-22-2005 10:32 AM

hello, guys, yes it's true our website has been having problem, we hired a jack ass to do the job, and the guy doesn't know what the hell he was doing, sorry about that, we are in the process of finding a new company to finish once and for all the website. if you ever need to email me use my aol email, acostaracingll@aol.com

army_rx8 06-22-2005 10:34 AM

ooo thanks for poping by :D sorry to hear abotu the bad hiring job:( always sucks when you pay someone for a service and they fumble it

ACOSTARACING 06-22-2005 10:40 AM

racing and beating the hell out of our rx-8 (3 rotor) it's not as easy has many people think it is. i get hundress of email asking me why dont you take it down the track or do this or do that. once you have so much money in a car, AND once you have a sponsors the car really becomes theres. you have to ask persmission for everything. imagen this, how fast you think you are goin to run down 1/4 using street tires. you aint goin to do nothing at all, so it's a waste of time. My sponsors PIAA & Hankook tires wont let me change the wheels nor the tires. you have to be in my shoes to understand. theres nothing more i would like than to take the car down... i haven't even had the car for the last 4 month. it's been on tour with the sponsor.. sorry if you feel we let you down.

Have you heard the phrase "full of sound and fury, but ultimately signifying nothing"? First you brag about a big video shoot racing against a porche, then another going against a viper. Lots of lead-up before the supposed events but then the dates pass and... nothing. Presumably your sponsors okayed these events prior to your publicizing them so that excuse doesn't fly.

Big credz and a big thank you for posting to this thread. Aspite of what others might think or write, Iīm impressed by your work and would LOVE!!!! to see a company like your on "my" side of the atlantic...
Anyhow, I sent you a email ... :o

ACOSTARACING 06-22-2005 12:10 PM

let me explain to you how a sponsor works. you call them up and say. " hey a company call me up for a video shoot. what do you think?" they say shure go for it. ok. But once the photo shoot is done or the video shoot is done. the finishing product has to go through them first. they sit down in the board room and then they decided if they want to go ahead with it. or they might want something change on the photo shoot or in the video shoot. if BOTH COMPANY " sponsor & magazine or video film company cannot come to a agreement on the finishing product. then the public never gets to see it. or hear it or anything. that's how the corp. world is. if they dont think they can get money out of it. is not goin to happend. that's what happend with the porsche video. the viper never took place becuase they sold the viper before it was done. you can ask autostream video about that, that's not our fault.
