The link Chun sent me had the universal listing and I am not real keen on them, either, as the RX-8 PCM is real finicky about sensors. I typically send people to either Mazmart(.com) or Rosenthal Mazda (FinishLinePerformance.com) for OEM parts but BHR is slowly putting together deals for certain OEM parts that we'll announce soon enough.

The only "genius" on my end of things regarding Chun's problem was knowing exactly HOW his front O2 sensor got messed up because a lot of first-time tranny swappers pinch the harness between the engine and bellhousing. Nuances are everything...........

No shutting that off with the AP. You sure it isn't the traction control?

The TPMS might need to be programmed. As far as I remember the dealership is the only place that can do that.

Positive it isn't traction control. The dealership doesn't have to do it as I personally added other TPMS sensors myself when I had two sets of wheels for Kasumi. Godfather gave me one new sensor but I suspect it wasn't working because it never shut off even after I did the little protocol from the manual.

To my knowledge, there are three different sensors that Mazda used. When I purchased one for my self (years ago) I needed to give the vin on my 8 and Rosenthall told me that. Not sure about the one I gave you and I think I said that.

The light isn't really a big deal. I have just put new sensors in before and if you follow the manual it is stupid easy. Once it didn't work for me I just figured that maybe it just didn't function anymore. Not a big deal. I am researching options of turning it off, even if it means a visit to Courtesy. **** it, they have no idea who I am up north.

What the hell? And no offer to collect the after market parts to put your car back to stock for trade in? Or even OEM parts that wouldn't have affected your trade in value?

Unless Reaper is planing on testing the compression on his car, I doubt I'll be seeing you this evening. Hopefully you and Reaper will continue to come on the Friday meets....................

Hi guys,

I wanted to ask what part of Vegas OR Henderson would be the best location for an AutoRnD location?

Spring Mountain Road - Little Asia????

Henderson/Boulder Hwy???

Closer to LVMS????

I'm so lost. I have no idea if these shops tend to be centrally located or if they are spread out and you guys will drive anywhere in Las Vegas to see some dope *** product.

Thanks, Rishie

I'd say central town so Chinatown if the rent isn't that bad.

I had issues with that car from the start.. I was ready for a clean slate.

The 8 had so much bad ju-ju.

I think that Chun is correct........There is nice spot open accross from the gas company on Spring Mountain.....Of course it depends on what you are after.

Hi I am the anti-chun, due to congestion and potential parking issues I said one of the other two, then the draw back with LVMS is lack of "traffic", but thats just my opinion but heck I am a 7 guy lol

Well we are 99% wholesale and want to be near where some of the other dealers/performance shops are so they can just come over and grab whatever STACKS OF ENKEI'S, Stance Coils, Advans, Endless pads, or whatever else we stock in our arsenal. Oh not to mention an AME container coming in August.

So ideally i want a warehouse but would like to offer TIRE/WHEEL MOUNTING SERVICES.

What labor services are lacking over there? Any good alignment racks on the Spring mountain side?

What about really good tire/road force balancing equipment? And people who won't totally F up your rims.

thanks a bunch,
Rishie
