If I changed my own plugs would that void my warranty?

i think he means "o-crap-it's-leon."

his mommy & daddy bought him a nice bmw 335i, so he's selling his 8.

he must've gotten on the honor roll or something to deserve it.

No....just keep the receipt for your purchase as proof of the date you installed them.

Speed and I successfully ran the Miata at the Pro Solo this weekend. 12 laps of frustration and adrenaline. We definately drove the car to it's limits....now to get some more parts so we can increase that limit

Speed, have you posted any pics that now show the graphics?

I want one of those new 135's . . but I am gonna wait until the price gets more reasonable. Dealers are asking over sticker for the first several months.




So we finally got the exhaust on Stephs car all sorted out. We still need to do a 'custom' hammer job on the cat converter, but we finally diagnosed the rattling sound; Toyota seems to be a big fan of the heat shields, and they like to rattle.
But now her little car sounds ANGRY!!! Not loud and ricey, it actually sounds like the stock sound . . . just pissed off.

I don't have any desire to spend $700 on a mode right now. Especially considering that I'm about to buy new coils/plugs/wires, I'll be at $1000 by the Dyno day. I have too many other things going on right now. Wouldn't be prudent.

Actually, they will work for any year, but they are specific to 1 vehicle at a time. You would have to uninstall if from your car and restore the original map, then install it on my mine. But, once you remove if from mine, I'm back to the original flash anyways, so it's pointless.
Have you used it yet?

I tried to have her drive it last month, but then she saw this;

San Bernardino monthly Mazda meet and drive 2008 thread.


So I mentioned Casey and Jessie not driving Mazdas, and she said it was okay for them 'cuz they are OG'.

Maybe we will bring the Toyota next month, and make you all jealous when we drop the top.

re: miata> congrats guys. looks like the car is coming along nicely. speaking of which, the guys from the 626 meet are going to button willow on sat 4/12. they almost have 10+ 8's going. but, dunno what time as of yet. depending on the time, i might go for some ride alongs. will have to see...

re: 1 series> i've seen the car in person & in photos. and, i'm sorry but, i just don't like the odd and boxy shape. although the specs are nice, for a car that was supposed to be a more affordable alternative to the 3 series i'm not sure i agree with the price tag. a loaded 135i turbo is mid-$40k's. how is that cheaper and faster? i hope this car flops- tho i'm sure a lot of girls will buy it.

re: mr2> the 626 meet sat nights is turning out to be a nice multi-import meet. we had about a dozen or so 8's, 1 miata, 3 sti's, and 1 e46 m3. most of the ppl there are friends of members, so it's not like the lax meet where random ppl roll up that no one knows.

https://www.rx8club.com/west-rx-8-forum-34/official-626-sgv-meet-thread-138483/page10/

and, on that note, i wish i had rich parents that would buy me a 335i. oh but, wait. i'm too old for that.

I talked to a BMW dealership about the 1-series.
It is cheaper to lease a 3-series than the 1.


Lease a 3-series and buy an FC????? I have a new goal

LOL... see what i mean about the 1-series? i hope it flops.

335i + "FD" sounds like a good plan.
