Good stuff!!

haha... ya that's another story Apparently it has to get spinning then it hits. I took it back got another one which had instructions telling me that (go figure), tried that one (in the parking lot) which worked, but the switch for L R was really a pain in the *** to switch back and forth, so took it back got another one, that was completely fuked, grinding gears etc then just stopped working...so said *** it and got my money back urg cause I like the concept and for the price.

So April Sunday the 12th? is good for the ppl that said they are going?

I can start a new (less confusing) thread (or anyone else can if they like) about this first meet, as long as the date is confirmed.

rotarygreg

I think we are still waiting on Jay to confirm unless i missed that.

marc, what impact gun are you talking about? Just so i know what ones to stay away from. lol. I have a nice low torque one that i bought from canadian tire that is just awesome. I use it all day at work, came with two batteries so you never have to wait for a charge. its good for about 80ft/lbs so its not something you can use to do wheels or suspension work, but its pretty nice for everythign else.

Yeah, Jay seemed to indicate that all three dates were fine but want him to confirm the 12th.

The 12th is good for the shop, the 19th is a bit more tricky because he wants to race that day, so we would need to get to him before he left. So I am hoping that the 12th will work.

Thumper, shipping address is the one one published through Tirerack

Impact gun I'm talking about is from Can Tire, plugs into your car lighter for $50. 250ft/lbs, but *** I couldn't get one that worked well and ran out of patience. That's cool...but ya want something with a little more gusto


I think he is good like thunder said for the 12th...JAY confirm damn you!! I will start a new thread tomorrow info on what's happening in hopes to get more ppl out and less confusion.

Thx...so we just need the address for the install of your tires. Are you guys picking stuff up at the shipping address as well?

thunder... it's red with rims ms exhaust, intake, bodykit, clear corners custom fiberglass box between the back seats and fiberglass box with 2 tens in the trunk all painted to match the car. I'm also getting a custom gauge pod made for me also fiberglass and painted red and when done I'm getting my turbo installed at rpm in two weeks.

chris_rx8

I got a question for you guys you have more experince then me with the 8 should i install the turbo or should i just leave it the way it is. I can get rid of it fast i got two offers and it's a greddy kit with hks bov and ecu. I would like to get your feedback thanks.

rotarygreg

hmm...its tempting to want to go faster, but i myself wouldnt install a turbo or supercharger on my renesis. if anything, i would swap in a 13B REW or a 20B. thats it.

Appearantly the apex seals in the renesis are much shallower than those of the older 13B engines and thus not up to the job of handling boost like the other engines were. also, the renesis is really not an engine about making power. its been highly compromised to produce acceptable emissions and therefore, in my opinion, not worth even trying to make more power with it.

that being said, if i was gonna get a turbo installed, i would definitly go to RPM to do it (if i wasn't doing it myself). i trust that they know their stuff, and if they didnt try and talk you out of it imidiately, then its probably not as big a deal as i think it is.

Greg... I think Alex has the greddy kit and he said he was able to pass emissions without an issue.

Chris... the bigger problem with the turbo is (as Greg mentioned) the stock apex seals... they're just not up to dealing with large amounts of boost. So... I guess it all depends on how much you're thinking of running. As long as you keep it low you shouldn't have too many problems if Alex's experience is anything to go by.

I'd kill for a turbo.. but... I just can't deal with all the extra money that you have to sink into it to ensure that it's not going to randomly blowup on you.

chris_rx8

I was going to run about 6 pounds and I think the engine should be able to handle that. I love the way the turbo sounds and I can use the extra power also.

Welp... if that's what you want... then I'd say go for it. Just make sure you keep some extra pennies in the bank just in case
