HiTMaNN

dont even get me started on my damn rx8 right now...
******* thing fucked up i dont know how its there

they called and said its a defe tive part so im getting a brand new ONE hahah yah we gotta do it again sorry guys

Inconsequential

how did it mess up? something break? engine prob?

BIU

Care to elaborate? :o

Rotary Titus

I thought you were still ok when Inconsequential called you??? something happened while you were on the road???
like you're getting a new one as in a replacement part or a NEW RX-8????

HiTMaNN

yah i have recived it already my dad is really good at getting things brand new

they didnt really elaborate on much except that there were defective parts on my 8

and quick question even on my new one when i warm it up i wait till it hits 1/2 way to the middle when i put my car into drive or reverse it makes a very weird noise it made the same noise on my last one

its very odd someone has to be in the car to hear it anyone up for it... i need to figure out what it is... it happens everytime i start the car and move it... but only than when im driving it never does it... and quick question they say that to keep ur 8 longer to rev it at higher rpms than 2 or 3? is that true... and about the break in period how slow and soft should u take it on ur 8

ive been doing nothing over 4000 rpm and slow accelration driving like a granny and i havent been keeping my speed the same just like the manual says plz help me answer all my dumb questions thank you u help me solve ur problems ill buy u lunch :P no not as a date... :P lol

wakeech

guy, that noise is normal, it's the ABS system doing a valve-check and purge or something. extremely well documented on this site. any time that you have a problem with the car, go to the tech garage section, have a look around (especially on the list of Technical Service Bulletins).

you seem to be breaking your RX-8 in just fine, it's not rocket science, just a period of low strain use for all the components to bed-in.


and to get this thread back on-topic and the reason i posted again is to say that i'll be getting my slides back TOMORROW. so, Yuceif or other Andrew or anybody who has a scanner, get in touch with me and we'll figure out how to scan these slides (at as high a quality as possible) and post them... make Vancouver the envy of the RX-8 world (i'm very confident they'll come out great).

HiTMaNN

i got a scanner if u need to use it.. ur welcome to come over or i can grab um and scan um for you



and thanks for answering my q's

wakeech

OK I FINALLY HAVE THE SLIDES!!! AND HOLY CRAP THEY'RE AS GOOD AS I COULDA HOPED!!!

so i've got ummm... 11 slides that i'd want to scan... does anyone have a scanner that they know will scan slides/film negs (these are coloured, brilliantly i might add, slides)??? i have photoshop (and experience with it) here at home, but i have tried and tried to scan slides here at home on my archaic Epson to no avail (and usually broke down and had very expensive and not-great prints made of my slides to scan).

so, lil' help?? Andrew?? Yuceif (i'm sure i'm not spelling that correctly... just remember you saying "you-seph, with a 'Y' ")?? anybody here in Van??? just tell me where and when and we'll get to gether ASAP. there are a few i feel are exceptional which i always felt would be (our arrangement in front of the mountains with the starry sky), and some which were a grand surprise (some of the shots at sunset in the lot by the school were really nice).

seriously, we HAVE to get these digitized so we might share the wealth. one picture in particular i took with the "RX-8 Club - Vancouver" cards in mind, and came out super good too.

wakeech

oh i'm stupid, HitMann already responded.

anyone else interested in seein' the slides just go ahead and raise your hand. i'll PM ya my contact info there HitMann

JY-8

Rotary Titus

*rubs hands expectantly* yes it would be lovely if you could post some hi res ones on here
probably in another thread since this one's becoming overfilled :p

oh and it's Usoff

wakeech

:o right, gots it now and shant forget.

so yes yes, HiTMaNN seems unbelievably eager to get these scanned, and hopefully tomorrow we'll have something good to show for it.

wakeech

what happened to all the pics YOU took, eh?? :P!!

Inconsequential

Yo other Andrew, hehe, if ya wanna meet up tomorrow night, I am working until 7pm, but if you are able to come to richmond, or if ya wanna meet up, we can get this bloody scanner set up, still unpaking stuff since I just moved, and we can give it a try, if its not already done that is. Hitmann, if you up for it too... or anyone else feel like going otu for a drink tomorrow night, give me a call after 7pm, if ya need a number, pm Wakeech or hitmann, later

JY-8

i posted them already

energie

looked like a fun night

I'll try to make it next time as well!

Inconsequential

So Wakeech and Hitmann got the pics from the slides and transfered them to disc, he is photoshopping a few pics to fix outside interferance, as well as watching the game right now, so, hopefully he will have them on here tonight.

wakeech

haven't any doubt .

if anyone at all wants larger (like wallpaper size... precisely 3x as big as these) copies, photoshopped or not, i have them all here at home. email me (250 - 300k each).

wakeech

spiffy!!

wakeech

oh la la... my pic of The Other Andrew

wakeech

ah, bonzai touge-racer in waiting, Usoff.

wakeech

i think that this picture is perfect to modify with an RX-8club.com logo (and some modification thereof to indicate the Vancouver chapter) for "recruiting" cards. :D
