wow what a NASCAR race finish!!! watching it live made me hold my breath and tie knots in my stomach. (do a youtube search for bobby allison in 1987 for a similar crash at talladega)

 

Edwards got tired of his back flip so he tried a new version of it.

 

So I reset the CPU and put the new (bosche) plugs back in with the exsiting coil pack and wires. Everthing is back to normal except for a small rough idol...

(1 week later)
...well the rough idol got worse and now the engine light is on again.

I took it to a shop, they ran the code and one of the fuel injectors is leaking. Stupid me, when i was first starting to take the plugs out i accidently started to take the injectors out. Well I guess I did not put it back scure / properly. Any way the shop is saying it will cost $378 to replace the seals and clean them. Seems out ragious since it is right on top of the engine. If I knew what to do I would do it (look were that got me the frist time).

Any suggestions? The shop also said to have a look at the timing belt, but I think I will put that off until it gets closer to the manufactures recommeded milage.

 

oh wow....
yeah injector seals are about 50 cents each from the dealer... $1.50 tops.
do it yourself.

 

yeah i want to do it myself but look where it got me, i need supervising eyes

 

yeah, and if you're not confident, I would definately recommend not playing with anything fuel related in your engine.

 

Forza Monday....for those interested, there is a free car being sent out by Forza....all that you need to do is find the Ford Mustang gift thread on Forzamotorsports.net and post in the thread. They will gift you a copy of the car.

Finally pulled the trigger.... my new wheels!!! https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/jedis-new-advan-model-t5s-172577/

 

those looks great jeorge, so when do we IE'ers get to see them in person.

 

hopefully soon.
I've been itching to make it out to a meet again, been FAR too long since I've been out there.

Maybe we'll throw another B-day bash @ Keith's this year.
I'll bring the Carne Asada if you guys want.

 

June is not too far away Jorge....we could always do an early/mid May bash.....??? since the Vegas cruise is in June....?

 

May sounds awesome. Let me know when, I'm there!

P.S. thanks for the comments on the wheels.

 

so, i got a new manager.

she moved me to a new desk where there's significantly LESS privacy from my old desk, and she's also cut my hours in half! i got bills to pay!

damn Jedi... thos wheels are hawt!
Seriously. I love em.
nice to see someone else loves silver as well. it seems everyone only wants some verssion of black thse days. I just dont get it.

I wonder how they would have looked on a pretty yellow RX-8??????

 

haha, thanks speed!
Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of black wheels on black cars. I will admit, the look has grown on me some after seeing certain cars here but for me, I knew it had to be Silver.

Hmmm... someone photo chop those onto speed's old car, now I'm curious.

 

<-- is still pining for 2009 R3 wheels.

 

R3 wheels would look good on your car. Just keep checking the F/S section, I'm sure you'll start seeing more of them and the prices should drop.

 

yup. after a while they will be easy to come by.... well at last not AS hard. and the price will not be as high either.
