I like the design of the 2010 MS3 too, I think it looks really sharp.

 

+1 on that, i like it a lot

 

Philip, I saw you posted for the courtyard parking, nice!
Just a quick suggestion though: you REALLY need to clean out your engine bay before SS, especially if you get picked for the courtyard.

 

Hey Philip congratulations on getting your car in the mag. They should have done an article you really stood out over all the other readers rides.

 

So heres the story....Zumn and Myself just went on a San Fransiquito Canyon run and damn that road is smooth as hell! We were pulling mad G's around corners and some old man in an Accord was even nice enough to pull over because he saw two 8's screaming down the turns and he pulled over. There is never traffic on this canyon. The SOCAL 8's should do a run. Zumn can set up the meet spots. We ran it from Lancaster to Santa Clarita and back. On the way back Zumn saw some GTi (99'ish) behind us (Zumn,, Myself, Gti) and slowed down so the GTI can catch up. The GTi caught up, but around the next two turns started falling behind, what a FWD FAIL . Zumn pulls into a gas station half way and lets the GTi lead. The GTi wasnt going anywhere on the turns we were right on his *** the whole way. So once we get back into town the GTi catches a straight way (look at Pic) and takes off. Being turbo, and not lettting anyone know he wanted to drag race was a fail. He took off and passing cars like crazy, funny thing he couldnt even keep up with us, or lose us in the canyon what a FWD fail. So yeah heres pics. Oh yeah look at the Fail next to me in the last pic.

6jjw291....THANK YOU!!!!

 

Do all the '09s come with that sexy little lip?

 

oh snap!!! that looks like fun! lol thats pretty close to me. haha i played tag with a 07' GTI on the freeway that was pretty fun at like 1 am.

 

Ar hahaa...Thanks for remind, I know my car is real dirty...
I will try out the vacuum cleaner to get those sand out, too many track days,
BTW...how can you keep your 8 always like new ?

Thank You !!

 

Anybody know some place around Artesia/Cerritos that do good car details ??
Most of them say my car is too low or what and tried to charged me $100 bugs for a hand wax =_=(which I do even better than they), i need a real detail one's

 

Phillip: the vaccuum should help.
You should wash out the engine bay though, pretty easy.
MAKE SURE the car is COMPLETELY cold when you do this. (don't even start it, just park it the night before where you'll wash it)

- spray lots of simple green.
let it sit for a minute, gently rince the engine bay with a hose. Don't blast it with a hose attachment, just rise.

You probably want to cover up the alternator, fuse box, and PCM box.
The rest of the engine bay's components are water sealed so you'll be fine.

 

If you have space at home I can set you up with the mobile detail guy, he's not to expensive and would just leave my car at home and he'd pass by when he was free.

Damn I just called him to ask if it was cool but he changed his number. He would come by my house and charge $10 to wash my car. $40-60 to do a full detail depending on how dirty it was.

 

phillip: I forgot to mention, once you're done rinsing down the engine bay, start the car and drive around for 10 minutes.
the heat will dry everything out for you.

 

Oh cool....Thanks for the tips
Well...I actually did washed my engine bay last time....But I guess I failed, lol
Still look like a mass...

Wow....That's good! I want a full detail, Can you PM me his number?

 

Nice pics IzzyRX8

you pics reminds me last time I went to track with my friends. On the way back,
more than 15 cars I think, we just park over on the side of a busy free way and chill out.
The best part is, 15 cars just jump in the freeway at the same time"

 

Ok who is down to do a rotor swap?

I want to see a bad boy like this in an RX8. That'd be the trick to get a few companies more interested in the 8.




DO IT!!!!

 

You know what....
I actually have that 4 rotor with turbo

^lol!

 

Man that silver s2k makes me miss RPF1's so much

 

ok...just got back....

my luck is seriously hurting...



iono what it is but i'm seriously lookin' at FUCKLAND right now..

apparently the job that I WAS PROMISED was given out.....AGAIN!?

****!!!!



apparently some talk was going on with the company last week and after they had fired the accountant that i was looking to replace they had decided NOT TO HAVE THE POSITION FILLED but rather have the responsibilities spread among the remaining accountants WTF!? I UNDER COST EFFIECIENCY BUT ******* ****! COME ON!! I AM ONCE AGAIN FACING UNEMPLOYMENT BUT NOW WITH LESS CASH!


I'm seriously runnin' on fumes in regards to funds now...i'm probably gonna be layin low from the meets for a while to save on gas and stuff. Ima stay posted on here but if nothin' starts comin' up for me soon Philip won't be the only one parting out at 7stock.

AND!

not only that but jorge got to hear this from me when it happened...

on the 152 i got hit up by a crossfire right before this crazy lookin' twistie - Mind you i've been hitting some crazy potholes going up there so i'm assuming this had some play in what happened. I pick up on the crossfire because i was bored so i start to pull - he and i enter the corner, i get a little hesitant because it was dark and i couldn't really see the next turn (no hwy lights) so i let him pull up as i begin to pull with him through a corner i notice that my rpm needle isn't the only one moving! i freak the **** out and look...apparently my OIL NEEDLE WAS MOVING! **** WAS BOOKING TO THE RIGHT!! For as long as i've owned this car I have never seen that **** move!? **** rocketed straight up and noticed my oil light came on. I had to pull off

Apparently something hit my undercarriage pretty freakin' hard - my **** got broken up pretty bad and it loosened the bracket holding my passenger side oil cooler. it was slanted when i saw it and it looked like there was a line pinched. Lucky for me i had my tools (as usual) so i ended up fixin' my **** in the dark (which is typical for a socal 8 owner apparently ) and then limping my way through some awesome twisties

I blame the damned crossfire...

AND...

well there was a bunch of other bullshit that happened during this weekend but aside from the sexy time i had, i also got to let a lot of frustration out on some idiot that decided to **** around with me at a gas station. Some dude in his early 20's with his retard friends were ******' around throwing **** in a store and ended up hitting me in the head with a box of cookies. Normally i'm a pretty understanding dude - had he said sorry maybe i wouldn't have been as pissed - fact was though they just turned and laughed. I decided to wait outside til he came out....then i decided to greet the fellow with my right cross...and my right stomping foot.



all n' all...though my life is in a downward trend that lil' encounter helped me realize that it's not so bad....at least i didn't get my *** kicked at a gas station

 

Wow, that sucks to hear dude... I don't know what to say. At least you released some frustration on those knuckleheads at the gas station.

 

well back from my first day of school i love my automotive class i dont want to drop it and neither does my dad but if i dont drop it i cant work so idk what to do ill probably pick school over it
