Gawd dude I dont even what to think about installing that front sway bar its going to be a pain in the a$$ but yeah I'm going to install it tonight after I pick up Annette from work so I have all night to work on it

I'm going to the Vegas Rotary meet, Some cool new cars like a custom blue FC with a LS1 Supercharged V8!!!

I'm going to the event so I can do some ride alongs if I'm lucky. I want to see the exit tricks of controlling the drift out of the apex. I know how to put the nose in but cant really see or get how to get her out of the turn with out spinning lol

Oh a new members 8 would not go over 3 rpms the old lack of power issue. It was the C.A.T. clogging up. So we seafoamed it gave it a few high revs let it idle for about 20 min all good now.
I gave her some pre mix and told her to take it in and tell them "car would not rev or go over 3k rpms, lack of power".

GET YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Gil, I did not hear from you last night - the helmet is still there.

 

Are you it was a clogged CAT? Honestly having a clogged CAT means the particles inside are broken up, and the only way to fix that is to replace it or hollow it out. By the time the seaform it gets to the cat its no longer liquid it would have already evaporated. Theres no liquid out there that will fix a clogged cat were not working with water pipes

 

My tester has been purchased and is in production.

AJ, any luck with the Map?????? Their bugging me!!!

 

You can post up the map as is until I get the forum to put it up in. Just put the link in your first post of your thread. The forum will just allow me to make it bigger.

 

Oh I really dont know man. I was told by another member on here the CAT may be clogged up.
By particles you mean ceramic right? because thats what its made out of

 

vr meet tonight at sonic across from the palms! Around 8pm

 

its actually made of 3 different materials irodium and poladium and theres one more i cant think of, they compress all 3 into the honeycomb looking stuff you see inside the cat, its like ceramic but its not ceramic.

you going to the meet tonite? vegasmazdas will be at raising canes at las vegas blvd.

 

What does rmxg8 mean?

 

I will post vids of the meet tomorrow

 

good

do you still need the helmet?

 

I've been trying to get Armin for two weeks. I leave messages and he has not answered. AJ, PM me the phone number you have for him. Also, AJ the animals on the Pettit thread are getting restless, have you solved the map problem?

 

Phil, I talked to him yesterday and he said he was going to your place this weekend. His number is on my phone, I don't have my phone on me, I will get it when I get home. The map is done.

 

Sorry Phil. I got tied up. I tryed to install my front sway bar and I striped a bolt on the endlink that sits on the controll arm. Dam Mazda bolts must be made out of clay So I had to put everything back together. Looks like I have to cut the bolt now
I wont be needing the helmet.

 

DIY rear brakes EPIC and very detail'
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...69#post2987669

 

That is one bad *** DIY wish I had this around when AJ was doing his rear brakes lol

 

you guys are funny, i did Neils rear brakes in like 20mins turning with a screw driver.

 

Thats gangster!

 

I believe you. I can probably do my front and back in about 30-40 minutes or less. Next time Ill record on video.
I did my/the DIY today and my front yesterday. I was going to do both yesterday but i had to go to work so i didnt have time, today i had time and decided to do a detailed DIY.

 

Did you blead the system?

 

OOOOPs. No.

 

for a rotor and pad swap,
you dont need to bleed the brakes unless you disconnect the brake line.

 

^Odd the stealership told me if I'm doing the back then yes. Mmmmm

 

Why do you have to live so far away?

Anyone have a good DIY for bleeding the brakes on the 8!!!

I broke the brake line and now when I slam on the brakes my car slides and the rear kicks out wildly. We broke the brake line to get the rear pads to fit over the rotor.

I just swapped out the front brakes back to OEM to see if it was the cheap duralast pads but I would like to bleed the brakes too, since I release some of the pressure out of the line.

 

^Dam and I sold my steal brake lines dang it.

Bleading them is snap **** man. Remember how I was telling you me and my Dad would do it?
Well check this out -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKwY80HkTxo
The only thing different my Dad would do is run a hose from the nipple to a can of brake fluid to ensure no air gets back in. Thats how we do it. If you want to blead them let me know.
