Thanks, the new gauges are awesome! It was a pain to install though... I literally had to take the entire dash apart in order to route all the cable/hoses in the back...

There is a very very hidden "security bolt" underneath the panels of the steering wheel holding the radio in place... It's a bitch to get to. I had to use an extension just to get in and there's barely any room to maneuver the ratchet around.... I'll try to find a picture with the security bolt holding the radio in place.

This should help show you how to remove the radio. This is probably where you're stuck at: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ipodrx8/pictures/9.jpg When you remove the cover underneath your steering wheel, you'll see two bolts and further down, you'll see another bolt. Do not remove the two bolts but remove the bolt all the way down inside, it's a bit tricky to get to... and DO NOT DROP THE BOLT! If you drop it, you're screwed.... oh, by the way, I didn't reinstall the bolt when I put everything together. The bolt is only for security reasons so that if people were to break into your car and try to steal the radio, the security bolt will hold it in place. We all have an alarm so we don't have to worry about no security bolt holding the radio in place. I hope this helps :) |
^ thanks bro for the info. Ill try it again.
by the way, I washed & waxed my 8 sat. and this morning(sun.) found my car dirty...someone had thrown eggs at it over night...f#cken assholes!!!:rant: |
^Thats fu#ked up man, some piston is jealous cause an RX8 won the Rolex 24 at Daytona. But I was parked at my mom's house today and some fricken bird had diarrea'd on 2/3rds of my freshly washed and polished sa.
But about this coming Saturdays meet in Torrance. I noticed that I gave directions based on ppl coming from the upper part of socal. Obvioiusly if your coming from the south, then your going north on the 405 and so on. To be safe, here is the address so you can set your GPS or map quest the place. 3525 W Carson St Torrance, CA 90503 Time: 9pm this Saturday the 23rd If you guys wanna see a list, I'll start one: 1. SA_RX7 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. |

looks like rain in our forecast...
|
^Dozer are you going to this meet?
1. SA_RX7 2. XDEEDUBBX 3. RX OCHO 4. 5. 6. |
^^Yeah, but if you pull up the weather for Torrance 90503, there's no rain all week and if you pull autobacs 90680, it's raining all week. We'll wait and see what really happens, this close to the ocean is always off the forecast. I will do the rain or shine thing, it's up to ya'll, but it'll be mostly indoors anyway. I'm looking forward to hanging at the club with loud music and ladies that aren't paid to be there. Except single ladies do get their drinks for free.

1. SA_RX7
2. 3. RX OCHO 4.shiinkaevo 5.TrochoidMagic 6. 7. 8. i didnt read the first post very well and thought this was just a rx8 meet...not to interested in the club..so ixnay on me.. |
^ Oh pooh...
|
^^wow, that was a grand exit! But no straight sausage fest was intended for this meet, thats true. But also I used the word "club" it's far from that as it is a restaurant/bar geared toward the younger crowd. And this is an "8" thing, no 7's are coming except me that I know of. And nothin is etched in stone, do whatever you'd like...that place as you'll see has a variety of shit to do. I'm pretty sure there's a bowling alley too, maybe play a frame. If hanging with the cars is better than the promenade then so be it but I know the autobac 8's, they like diversity. Or chill have some drinks for a bit then go back out, whatever.
1. SA_RX7 2. RX OCHO 3. shiinkaevo 4. TrochoidMagic 5. 6. 7. 8. |
^^ double that.
i really don't have any problems with people whatever they drive. i'm in it from the mechanics perspective.and cars are whats kept me outta trouble thru my younger years... too bad ignorant ppl can't feel the same way. SA, you know i'm a honda head right? see, not all honda heads are ignorant fucks or ricers. just the new ones:lol2: |
c'mon guys...
did you forget to add your name in here or what? i see ur posting, i see ur curiosity... we've already met SA 7, and he doesn't bite. you know which ones i'm talkin about... |
i didnt mean anything about certain cars attending the meet. I dont have a problem with that at all. It was the club part that did it for me.
|
yeah... i got tired of the club scene as well.
BUT, its different when you get to go wit the guys... and drink, play, mess around, flirt wit girls, and basically just acts a fool. yooou knnoooow! |
oh i hear ya..i just got tired of getting kicked out of clubs for getting in too many fights.. =( hahah
|
^sounds like my kinda club-goer haha
|
Well, the Greddy thing is this Saturday as well... I guess I'm going to both this and the Greddy thing. This is going to be a fun Saturday. :)
|
Yeah, me too! But i'm in the early rotary club entry at 7am. 2 hours before general public so it'll be a long day for me. I'll prolly leave Greddy at 1pm or so and take a nap for the next round of fun in the evening.
I just bought another FC but it's still red so look out for that at the Black Angus. And thats cool Rich, I want an EVO myself. So you guys got the caravan to Torrance together? |
^^ohhhh...didn't get what you mean at first.
but yeah... rotary's are nice. its definitely outta the ordinary. but if i were to get a honda again... it'll prolly be a honda FIT just being because the way gas is nowadays. and it looks cool and versatile too... nah... it could be that i am just tempted to have a sleeper with the posibility to use some K series motor in the future...hehe. the wifey will prolly kill me... but we'll see. |
