GREAT VIDEO x-ped!!!! is there any way I can get copies of all the video you have, I have an exteral 120gig hard drive ready for this kind of stuff.

 

same here, i have a 100+ gig hard drive so i can collect media

 

Great video X-Ped. Appreciate you taking time to put it together.

 

No problem, glad to be of service

 

AHHH. Sorry Keith, it's "www.divx.com" not divex. (in my rush to get the info posted, i typed it wrong.) My bad. But, it sounds like u got things running there.

Cheers!

 

Awsome pics guys!
I am glad everyone had a good time. I finally finished settling in and i got pretty comfortable with my work load. I will most likely be able to be there next meet. Keith, its good to see that you remember all the stops and turns!
See you guys soon!

now in OC

 

like the back of my hand

 

okay lets talk about next meet. I would be great if we could do it before the 20th, I be flying to New Zeland.

 

Well afaik I'm free the next couple of weekends, so just pick a date and I'm there.

 

Hopefully next meet i'll have my rear sway bar installed.

 

^^ just rear? i hear it's pointless to have either front or rear sway bars installed. buy them seperately, but have them installed at the same time

 

eh not in all cases, for example the WRXs need a rear sway bar to reduce their under steer

 

let me clarify....we're not talking about wrx's.

On the RX-8, it makes LITTLE sense to install one at a time. The only reason you would do that is if you're trying to offset something you've already done to the car; staggered wheels, etc.

 

Reason is because with the staggered setup i have with my car, i have a bit of understeer so this just correct my problem..

 

exactly..

 

big change when going from the stock 8in. wide tires, to 8in. front and 9in rear huh? it's the same difference alot of ust w/the 19's are running. 8.5in. front and 9.5in. rear.

 

This is exactly what Ullllose suggested that I do to my car for the autocross setup...that is, if I was going to run my staggered rims. For the street, I don't feel I need to go any faster...so no need for sways.

 

I should be getting shcocks / springs / sways / nitrous before the next meet =]!

 

i like the under steer so i did both with my stagger set up i can take higher speed corners much faster with it

 

toca, you doing the autocross on Sunday next weekend? We have the San Bernardino meet on Saturday, and then the Cal Club autocross event on Sunday. I think you would be in BSP class with Casey, or maybe STS.

I assume you have your pullies and everything ready to go. You get your headers yet? Dyno'd yet?

 

no header yet almost though pulleys r in i feel a big dif with then in the mid range dyno be somtime next week yes i love to race sunday but need numbers lol

 

i just see what nember they give me sunday and u 200 mph type u and casey running saterday to

 

yea true but as you can see i pointed out reasons why one might only use one sway bar, to reduce understeer, like in a wrx owners case or kwiks, but i agree with you generally with the rx8 you should do both at once.

 

uh oh heheh. get your friends to drive their own cars so you dont have to worry about hurting anyone else if you make an error so you can push your car with your new mods

 

Casey already has his number and Cal Club points card. I don't yet. I have my numbers and card for the SD events, but they are different organizations. I hope to get the same number, but won't know until Sunday. We arent' doing the practice event on Saturday, since we are having the San Bernardino meet this Saturday. I'm sure Casey, Scott, or one of the Jason's will post more info about the event this Sunday on the San Bernardino thread. We'll see you out there. Don't know whether Erica or Cesar will be joining us as well.
