Sure, and I'll pick you up a sense of humour while I'm at it.

Once again sorry for the slow progress.

Things here have been dreadful, an ice storm blew through yesterday, with power outages that kept me at work all day, and nearly left the world 'Zoomer-less.
He was travelling between cities during the 'white-out' and cars all around him couldn't handle the sheer ice, and hit the snowbanks.

The final tuning on my car (to check how the freer flow of the Borla affects the fuel ratios) was to have been finalised on Saturday, but we are all a bit behind because of my schedule. The Zoomster wants to be absolutely sure of the ability of his 'baby' to handle a cat-back all through the rev range. Best to get it right the first time, but it is not yet complete.
We all want this to be 'soon', but we also want it to be 'right', (and I don't want my rotors to melt down!)

I am sure he will be publishing some info soon on the horsepower difference, but again, my car is the holdup.

So, 'Ole Spiff', yes. Vicious/bastard/fiend, and now torturer!

I know that you and your crew are working extremely hard to get the stage 1 kits out to the fixated RX8 drivers. So please stop monkeying around, work hard but also have a few laughs.

PS Don't forget for my stage 1 kit to extend the wiring for the right hand drive Aussie cars. Hope this brings a smile to your face!

Stealt: Thanks for the update. We got out first snowfall of the year here this weekend, so I know how it can bring the world to a halt.
IMO (and I'm sure I speak for many) that you guys need to take the time to do this right... not just from a technological perspective, but to deal with things like the weather and such which crop up. We don't need anybody getting hurt while pushing themselves to hard to get something like this done.

Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, how important is the ETA on this mod a few weeks either way?

All that being said, I want one for my car when it comes out of storage in the spring.

When is stage 2 predicted to come out? I am truely interested to get this upgrade.

Works with 91 octane all thats needed is a testpipe. I can then preserve my cat for smog purposes. Im all for it just need a date now.

Thanks again for the awsome work you have done wiht the eight.

Genom

I would like to point out that for testing purposes, I am in sunny Florida. It is flat as stale beer over here, wide open and the temp has dipped to a "chilling" 56F. I could test these puppies day and night if I needed to :D

Much better than testing in that frozen tundra you crazy people call Canada.

Well, as far as wiring goes, i have some good news:

We have found a way to shrink things enough that we can now fit EVERYTHING inside the stock ECU box.
So now the only wire that needs to come out is a ground wire.
So no wiring to the dash is needed.

canzoomer

That would be nice if:

1) You had a fuel/air sensr bung in your exhaust.
2) You had a 5 wire broadband sensor in that bung.
3) You had the same device as we use to read it and to log it to a computer.
4) You had a notebook PC in your car hooked to it to log it.
5) You had 2 pyrometers in your exhaust, to meter temperatures.
6) You had our tuning software on thecomputer, and the hookup to the control box to monitor it and adjust if needed and to re-program it.
7) You could talk to me on the phone for a couple of hours while we do the test runs, so i can instruct you on doing the test cycle.

And so on..

But thanks , I know the offer is sincere. Just not too feasible.

Speed Racer

Nice! That will make the installation a lot easier.

Genom

Maurice, when you send me all that hardware (make it a nice laptop too please) I'll get cracking! Dont forget the dacning women, pheasants on ice and some gold foil cake.

Hey, I was being my usual smartass about it, but if you send me detailed instructions on how to mount it all.

Oh and dont forget to send all the hardware I will need. I'll cover the phone calls :D

BAH!

Anyways I EAGERLY await the final info as everybody else is I am sure. Just ignore my rambling and dont forget to email me as soon as I can get my order in.

I count the days man. almost 2 weeks ago you said 3 weeks so in my mind it's just 1 more week (even though I know you guys have been busy getting it ready and all and it's not gonna happen). Delusional I know, but hey. hope springs eternal ya know.

There seems to be a lot of anxiety and stress relating factors from the forum members who have ordered stage 1 from you .

As my lovely wife is a practicing pchycologist maybe she can run an online session for the members and try and help their mental weelbeing , but i suspect that the only cure will be a stage 1 kit on the rx8 .

Maurice you could be the 1st aftermarket rx8 development company offering this service ?

I'm interested in seeing in what the cars trap speed will be now. CJ

RX-8 friend

"I'm interested in seeing in what the cars trap speed will be now."

55 MPH travelling backwards and slightly sideways. Outside temp is now about 0 F (-18 C).

Jhouse

maybe the reason if the chip flips around 10k miles is to reserve the life of the cat, did anyone think of this?

Greg

First of all the "chip flip" I believe is still theoritical only and second of all yes it seems many have already thought of this as it is discussed on several threads.

SDFLY

"Outside temp is now about 0 F (-18 C). " WOW!.....And people here STILL wonder why your national sport involves ice....brrgh

Can't wait to hear some results, very promising news altogther.

hoffa

how much hp gain..any one by any chance? how much will this mod cost? im interested nice job guys!

mikeb

take a visit to canzoomes place for more info

shebam

Not having to go through to the dash was worth waiting for ... even if my car ain't in storage! Keep up the good work and we'll keep checking the in-box.

Aeterna

patience makes the... HAHAHAHAHA. That was truly inspired and awesome...

SA22C

Shoot, -18 aint nothing! You should check out Saskatchewan at -30 before the wind chill. Last winter we were into the -47 range with wind chill factored in.

That's cold, not even my all weather RX-7 will start in -47 weather without some serious encouragement.
