Dgr8one21 "ok im lost im trying to find the caravan list for ss14 to find out when and where everyone is meeting"

Use this link to go to the caravan list......
RL]http://z10.invisionfree.com/SincityRotary/index.php?showtopic=1821[/URL]

All are welcome to come by......The compression tester is ready. Little Phil borrowed my large floor jack so we would have to use one of the small floor jacks to work on the car. Maybe he will be by and return the big one Saturday. I will have some of the shop rags in the garage.

well i finally signed up here on the 8 club but i won't be advertising for now until more of a switch to the 8's comes up(paying for advertising on 2 sites is a stretch). in the meantime i'll just be trying to help people out with questions about 8's as i do on the 7 club.

hope your car has been treating you well Phil.

Ben let me know if you ever get RX8 tuning dialed in with an Access Port. My girl needs it badly. Now that it is finally cooler out I have taken the AP off cuz I don't need to fans to turn on quite so early. But I am not taking advantage of my intake, mid-pipe and exhaust at all. Plus I want to turn off the CEL I get from the mid-pipe.

i have been looking into the accessport but i need to get a hold of a copy of the race tune software and stock maps to get a feeling for how it all is setup for the rotary engines. Cobb only sends out the software if you have the serial # of a sold unit and i haven't bought one yet as i don't personally have an 8, at least not yet.

should be a bit easier for the naturally aspirated 8's since your setups are very close to one another versus the turbo 7's which all have to be tuned induvidually.

I have an access port plus the software. If you want to poke around the maps to get familiar I am cool with that. Would just want to be sure you have a solid foundation with everything before you make any adjustments. Not doubting your ability, just looking to be safest with the new engine.

It's a little early to tell with the Vegas peeps......It looks like three more are joining the caravan but that could change. Your two Vegas diehards will be there.

Phil: let me know if anyone else joins for the trip out to SS.
Got a few indoor spots still available and figured I'd extend the offer.


as for the dyno day; as soon as SS is done with, we'll kick that planning into High Gear.
expect a thread on it in a few weeks; the dyno event will be Feb or March.

Sadly there have been a couple of issues arise but we are scrambling like the guys putting a dash in my car that I have not touched since last Thursday and swapping a clutch in another while massaging the hell out of a blemish on another ... and the clock is ticking faster

Well I hope this one does http://z10.invisionfree.com/SincityR...&#entry3813541

If it does not, go to SinCityRotary.com and open upcoming events. Post in there and I am sure 13X will contact you.

Is anyone else going to SS14? I will be there but not on the caravan as I need to go early to see my daddy.

If you can't connect with Chun and all you need is the software, mine is available. I'm off on the weekends and home every evening by 4pm but in bed by 8pm.
