RCCAZ SS8 guys

Just wanted to say it was really nice meeting and talking with you guys. Bunch of nice people. Thanks for letting a couple of Texans crash your banquet table.

Hey whats you two ! Since I now know your Screen name I can send you hate mail! J/K
I picked up the REVi Duct and this week I'v been avg 3-4mpg more. A product that has proof. The CanScan proves it too.

I was the one sitting right next to you on the right.

Wow, that's an awesome jump in gas mileage from an oddly shaped piece of plastic! It'll pay for itself pretty quickly.

Bring on the hate mail! I told a friend of our good fortunes and he repeatedly told me that he hates me.

If any of you guys plan on being in the San Antonio area give me a shout.

Hey, nice to hear from you. Was across the table from you (beside little John... there was me... bigger John). Thanks for the nce words. Could certainly say the same about you both. We enjoyed talking with you at dinner and the next day at RR&R. Was happy to see my car again after the return trip. 09Factor should tell you about the tumble weed we played chicken with on the way home. (It's a story with a happy ending... everyone lived to talk about it)

3-4mpg... That is huge!!! What impact did the REVI make on the intake roar??? More? Less? or the same? If you continue to get huge mileage increase quoted. I may have to get this intake for that reason alone!

It a little quieter. Not much but it is noticible.

Now for the tumbleweed story.
Tim and Rob (Rccaz1) are in front of us doing 80 or so. We saw two or three 'weeds that either blew across behing us or would get run over by a vheicle in front of us (yea, now it just turned into a missle aimed for my car).

Well Rccaz1 and I are by ourselves and this HUGE, lets say 4' dia., 'weed blows across in front of Tim. It stops half way in the right lane(ours). keep in mind we're doing 80 and Tim is 40 yrds ahead of me and its dark out.
I see Tim serve left and poof there it was The radiator killer ! I serve to miss it (justa little hard)and serve (justa little hard again)back into the right lane. I'm thinking of course they show up now. The RB oil & Ac screens are in the trunk!

It was funny to see the headlight beams go up and down the back of Tims 3rd gen.
And fun to throw John about the cab of the car. Sorry!

Im not sure what would be more funny; being in Rob's seat and hearing Tim as he sees the t-weed or in your seat getting to throw John around, HA HA HA, glad you made it back safe

We just made it home, kind of funny - we flew back through Phoenix!

Glad to hear you guys made it back home even with the tumbleweed attack.

John and John - My wife is nice, I'm a jerk. But, if you guys need any 1st gen parts or tech, pm me. We are 1st gen Mazda nuts (626(coverted to rotary), MX-6 GT, RX-3(x2), RX-4(x2), RX-7(x4), Miata, RX-8....) but I've spent the last 20 years playing mainly with the 'old' 74-85 rotaries. There are a lot of tricks to add power, reliability and economy.

(I have to do my duty) If anyone is going to buy a full stand alone ecu for any application, the Wolf EMS is the ONLY way to go! I read the manuals a couple times and it is far superior to another product I used in the past.

They are ALL her cars! I'm going to wait until RB has (or doesn't) their ecu. The Wolf will unfortunately go into the Miata (rotary?).

The list is missing the 1st gen B2000 and the 12A powered 67 Datsun Roadster.
