Bay Area RX-7 Dyno Day & BBQ June 5th 2004

You RX-8 folk are welcome to come.

Gotta introduce myself early since I'll be getting an RX-8 sooner or later. =)

I might be able to make that, but doubt I will dyno.

If I do go, I will be sure to bring some food.

I'll try to make it. I'm interested in a dyno, but my car would be stock by then. If my CZ unit makes it in time, can I register for dyno in the last minute?

Murix, I'll see you there then!

Just come early and you can dyno, people tend to be late all the time.

If you have a Touring or GT, you are going to see something btw 162-175rwhp.

If you have a base like Murix you will see 5-10 rwhp more.

If you folks plan to pull the ABS sensors from the back wheels (Touring and GT), I would be very interested to hear/see the results, thanks!

Also, the results above were done on early "flash" releases. So, if you have "L", "M" or "?", olease indicate that.

Hey now, there's a thought. I have a base 6spd with M flash. I'm not sure if I wanna do that ABS trick, but if someone could do it reliably for me there, I might do it.

Hey I'm down. I have a GT Manual with the "M" flash. I've noticed that there is more power at the lower gears. But somehow the gas mileage seems worst than the previous "L" flash I had. I was averaging 18 mpg before and now only 16 mpg (What gives?) Could someone please comment if they experience the same issues?

What time will everyone be meeting this Saturday? And what is the name of the location again? Thanks.

rX8rEdLiNe, there is a new flash that's just for poor gas mileage 8, not the M, i don't know what it's call, I've got my M done already. It's no different at all. Í made an appointment for another flash on wednesday, maybe you can ask your dealer about it.

Well, you guys missed out. I think one RX-8 showed up, but I didn't see it, someone said it was parked on the side of the building.

That was me. I showed up and no other 8's were there. I parked on the side as there was no space up front.
