Busy RX8 day at the dealership!

It was an RX8 day here yesterday in the afternoon! Eddie was here with his bright yellow car (needed sunglasses to look at it) Marin was here with this bent crossmember and has a Mspeed exhaust on order.........Eddie did you get the CAI working properly?????

Oh yea, I was there as well!

Another top notch job by Russ and the guys. They got that nasty rattle out from the Moonroof area and they got rid of my buzzing noise from the console area during red line.

On top of that, they clean the car inside and out while waiting for me to come over.

Sweet!

I saw it this morning. I like the new 6. Looks a lot sharper than the new "Americanized Accord", and of course the WHALE-like Camry.

But they've taken out the sportiness out of it slightly to make it more refined. Perhaps a kitted Mazda6 would look nice.

Can I try one out Al next time I come? I couldn't find you today.

Of course you can! On Sept 21 Mazda is having a ride and drive with the car and your welcome to go to that too!

Thanks again so much for your help! i am pretty excited to put the exhaust in on saturday.. i guess since its going to be my first mod.

i wasn't expecting to run into any members while i was there it was pretty cool.. damn and your rx7 is very nice...

hopefully i will be able to come to Shanonville on monday depends how the rest of the weekend plays out but at this point i think i will be there.

Al.. we redid Eddie's CAI that night.. it's running a lot better now.. doesn't stall.. it apparently still studders a bit around 6000rpm.. but that could just be the remapping.. heh..

I'm still wondering about his "Cali" spec ecu reading though...

That "buzzing noise" is fixable?

Since I am using my stock rim as winter/race rim...and don't wanna lose any speed 'cause of the width and love the stock balance of grip / economy and comfort (undertire), I've decided to use nearly identical rim size as stock....

If it's the 21st I could even come down from Ottawa for that, it'd be fun.

Looks like we may have to wait until October to do a meet at the dealership if everyone wants to. We are racing the 14 and 28th and have the Mazda 6 ride and drive on the 21st so that pretty much takes up September. Anytime in October would work for me, season is over by then!

We can definitely do that. I know theres a photo shot in early Sept, but a Oct meet just for checking out Al's tofu / race / dealership shop will be great too.

Let me start some planning.

btw, faded, we called Eddie cell and all we got is this sexy female voice saying leave a message for him...dammmmmn
