The seagull don't like Caddies. The tongue is genuine Hymee. Glad the dog made it back .

Gomez.

 

real estate much cheaper here in midwest...
only 40 to retrieve dog.
i would spend whatever to get mine back though and every pound knows that.

 

It would have been $25 less if he were fixed.
$25 was for a microchip installed in his neck.
$60 I think for his licence
$15 for a rabies shot.
Balance was pound fee.

He's still sleeping. I don't know if he's just depesed or what. This time of the morning he's usually bugging me to play or at least stealing trash to chew up and scater around. I spoke to soon, he's up but not sticking his cold nose on me bum.
He's just scratching and I bet he got fleas in that dump.

Glad to see you got your best friend back No not HYMEE , your dog Turbo :D
Dont worry about him sleeping they may have given him a sedative at the pound to make him drowsy either that or his been up all night humping all the other dogs , it would take quite a bit of energy humping all night and sniffing all the other dogs backsides .ha ha ha .

This thread has really gone to the dogs :D

cheers

Am I guessing the name Turbo was given because ...?
Just curious Mr. Supercharger Man.

 

The Dog's name is "Torque" not Turbo.

 

its called "Irony"- Richard gets an RX-8 and a little time later realizes he's missing Torque. then has to spend an exhorbitant amount of money to get his Torque back.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ROFL!!!!

Very clever.

 

Zoom- That is, hands-down, the funniest thing I've ever read on this board :D

 

Good one "44". I can call you that now that my GF is 45, right?

Gomez, I sent you a present via Hymee. See to it that he gives it to you. You may have to pry it out of his hand. Although maybe not, it doesn't go with red.

Gotta go now, I'm off to the dyno place. Car has 750 mi on it. We shall see what happens.

 

Thank god u explained that!!!

I was getting reallly really confused.

I must be turning American if i cant spot stuff like that... :D

 

Go ahead all of you...laugh at my expense...

 

Guys you may find this interesting , a new rotary engine concept .

What car? I never saw it ?????

:p :p :p :p

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

You know which car, the yellow one with 156 HP.
I'm going to try and hook up my scanner then learn how to work it.
If all works I'll post the dyno and maybe start a new thread about it.
I guess I go to the Mazda dealer with this, right?
This is alot less then the so called 238. I'm willing to allow reasonable drivetrain loss and even give them some slack to lie. But why me? They knew I was going to buy that car and fixed it on purpose.

 

I was gunna show you the scanner, but you let Dana take the car for the day!!!

Did you forget I was visiting!!! LOL!

Thanks for the lunch. Enjoyable as always. Wish I had a chance for some more JD or Wild Turkey.

Enjoy these pics. These are the first few I have sized etc. Sorry it has took me until now to get them posted.

I even have one of RAP looking for Torque.

Left = intake of blower
Centre = Pressure Gauge
Right = discharge port. PSI to the engine

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Sure is beautiful looking.

 

Beautifuly machined. bet it looks even better in person. Glad you got your dog back RP.

 

Hey out there, Omicron, Polak, MazdaManiac and all you guys that know about flashes. Am I just on a old flash? Or is my problem unique? I'm going nuts here, I'll crush the damn thing and you guys waiting for the SC will never see it.
I feel like i just got it in the bum without the KY.

The dyno is not wrong and it is not the traction or anything like that. I can feel the power curve match the dyno. The mixture didn't seem much different then some of the ones I've seen. It does go real rich but like I said I've seen this before.

I'll tell you this, if I can't get the dealer to fix this and fast I'll dump this thing. If this is going to require me to go on and on being pen pals with Mazda then It is not worth it.

I have a great idea. It's already yellow, I can have the stripper detail it to look like a lemon and park it out front of Mazda NA in Orange County. That's not to far from me. Damn I love this idea.

 

Some people have had dynos that low, and it may be because they dyno is not well ventilated. Maybe your car just has low power, as people have speculated the real hp is more around 210 for the high power.

You might could even ask Hymee or another vendor who completed a FI solution on any dyno tips :p

 

While there have been a few rare dynos that low, with an old '04 car, I'd definitely get the latest flash first. You could be a good 2 or 3, even more, iterations behind.

Torque is a fine looking Golden Retriever. They are the best dogs, in my completely unbiased opinion (https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...7&postcount=28). I'm sure he'll be glad to help you get your mind off your dyno numbers.

I wonder if the noise from the AFS testing bothered him. Does the AFS make the same high pitched whine that the compressor blades of a jet engine make? Perhaps it is loud in frequencies above human hearing?
