I'll go to stacks.

 

ok. This week then.

 

Rob,

dude... you sold the 8? Did you at least get a good deal for it?

 

Hehe, the GF wanted me to report she possibly spotted a forum member -

Spotted a Turbo WB in San Jose/Santa Clara w/a dragon vinyl/decal on the side - asian guy driving - aftermarket kit (unknown) oem spoiler and license plate starting with: 5VSX...

anybody?

 

Rob.. you sold the 8? damn you.. i would have taken the mid pipe.

 

Damn you Paris and your avatar. .. .

 

should have sold me your cusco coilovers

 

lol -

 

We should of stripped HIS car!!! But his friend bought it.... where's your friend???

 

She's in the south bay. She's a Stanford student so you'll probably see Fiendly in that area.

 

if she ever decides to sell those coilovers.... let me know lol

 

Did you finish your turbo install?

 

not yet... still gathering parts. just got a hella good deal on a used aem intake and i am only missing accessport and blow off valve. taking it slow and cheap... trying to save some money LOL

 

well that AP defiantly won't be cheap...

 

lol i understand that... gotta take a hit on that one because its just unavoidable

 

SiLVeRE8 are you getting around CARB or you just risking it with the Turbo mod?

 

He has 5 years to worry about that...

 

i saw 4 rx8 at 24 fitness in san ramon!

a blue w/ body kit.
2 silver, 1 by ups, and another leaving.
and black rx8!

 

Eaton TVS
vmount with koyo radiator
hybrid custom itb's
upgraded injectors
fuel resivour with stock pump feeding it in a loop and pusher pump going to the fuel rail
upgraded maf
hymee pro tunner

This is my s/c kit I'm building and will be on display at ss this year.

Hybrid itbs and larger maf will be tested with hymee pro tuner in na form.
I'll also try to finish my header/midpipe combo, but believe it or not, proto-typing exhaust is bank. It will be about another 1.5k to design the header/midpipe with dual cat combo.

Looks like my race exhaust complete will be about 2k. So far just the cat back adds 7whp and 5wtq above 7k rpm.

Hoping to see a minimum of 15whp to 20whp for the set-up.

As far as the intake goes. Just a k&n drop in is the best bang for the buck. My after market intake is a bit extreme. You will need some kind of after market management to make it work.

I'm going into just making stuff for drift/time attack/race applications.

I'll show up to a meet once the Eaton TVS arrives on us shores so you can see the core uint.

i dont really have to worry about that right now... like what 8rotor8 said, i still have a lot of time! lol and i think there is a possible chance that the turbo kit will pass emission as long as i have my stock cat and exhaust laying around when i need it.

 

Is there anyone here that owns a red rx8 in morgan hill? i saw you drive by while racing my friend in his silver evo haha just wanted to meet you

 

Has anyone here done work with fiberglass enclosures? I'd like to fab up an enclosure for my EQ remote that fits in the place of the ash tray, but retains the little flip down cover. The remote is just barely small enough to fit in the space. Unfortunately, I'm a complete and utter n00b when it comes to fabrication in general, and fiberglass in particular. I'm tempted to have a shop do it for me, but that's probably going to cost way more then I want to spend.

 

You could probably make something out of wood then just build it up with epoxy and microballoons to smooth it out. It would be a small piece and that's easier to work with and sand for a noob.

 

I bet a brick of balsa wood would be nice and pliable. I think some people have also used foam? I'm gonna go check out the arts and crafts store tomorrow and see if i cant find something even easier to work with then wood.

 

anyone else up for stacks tomorrow at 10am?
