You definitely need a MT if you're gonna play those games, hahaha!!!

Good luck with your exam today...

XLR83N

would love to make the nextcruise, just give a bit more notice so i can make sure i have the day off lol!!!

Revolver

Yeah, this came together quite quickly, which is why the route planning was a bit average, lol.

Hopefully give everyone two weeks notice of the next effort. However, doubt much will happen between now and the Nats.

Hi revolver. Was on the cruise with you yesterday. Anyway,I forgot to ask where you got your shortshifter kit from and how much it cost(i want to get one)? And also,you were talking to Tuan about fitting his car in somewhere.Do you have some affiliation with a workshop or something? Thanks again for organising the cruise.Ps-I was scared to that someone might die on those semi-slick roads and overtaking moves with the sunday drivers etc.Track days are always good for going for going all out(as I'm sure you know!).Was good to give it a little blip here and there for a cleanout(even with a vw there that seemed to have all the rx8's covered!)

Revolver

I got my short shifter kit thru Hymee. Was about $400 from memory. PM him and he'll fill you in.

I was talking to Tuan about whether there were still spots at the Nationals - not to get work done. I'm not affiliated with anyone for that purpose, or at all for that matter.

Everyone has their own comfort level on how hard they drive during cruises. I agree the track is where you should go if you really want to push hard but the odd bit of well-judged exhuberance is okay in my book.

And yes, you'll find it hard to get too far in front of a certain red VW.

Lol, what i did to the car? i cracked the exhaust by lowering the car too much.

damn exhaust, took 3 months to finally find some1 that can weld Titan

I just installed Tein Superstreet coilover on the car on Friday and was hoping to take the car out for a cruise.

but my friend came down from QLD and i took him to Transmission, didn't get home until 6am Sunday morning,

next cruise i turn up fo sure

wOng_R

i realised that most of u guys on the cruise had the rx8 logo on ur third brake light, i asked around but i still dont really get what is needed and how its done..
can somebody please PM me instructions on how to install it?
would be greatly apreciated.

Miss.Trish

hey wong!
heres the link for thread on how to do it
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=21092.html
its pretty detailed and its got photos to simplify things
and if ur still confused, maybe u can hassle mogley to help u out further (he did mine for me haha thanks moggers =P)

Miss.Trish

thank you! i turned up 20 minutes late.. but its ok, i ended up leaving 20 minutes early anyway.. 'cause im a genius! =P

mogley

yeah its all in that thread.
its pretty simple just make sure u black out the stencil pretty good. i had to use texta to colour it in cause the overhead copy wasnt dark enough.

Revolver

Otherwise you can double or triple the transparencies used to get that darker effect.

I still notice people behind me at traffic lights pointing it out to their friends.

Revolver

Hahaha! Well done!

I was scary fast at exams too - hey you either know it or you don't. It was pretty rare for me to still be there for the last hour.

And the shocked looks on your friends' faces when you get up to go early is always fun, hahaha...

DrewMan

hey where are the piccies????

wOng_R

thanks alot trish. ill give it a go today, hopefully i dont **** anything up like i usually do..

RXP33D

I've got a few pics, not the best but they'll have to do. Will post later tonight.

matt13b

Ok,thanks for that revovler.Hope to see you on another cruise soon..

wOng_R

haha!. just installed the rx8 logo onto my break light!. ROFL
easier then i expected, all i did was trace it onto the overhead projector paper, colour in the outside, then shuv it in.
although, i did think that it wouldnt show if the brakes wernt activated.. ahh wells, guess it'll do

XLR83N

theres different ways to install it, one so it shows all the time and the other to make it show only when you use the brakes. I think you need to put it on the other side of the red reflector or something like that (i havnt done this myself)
