YAY!!!!i got my exhaust today.....
Baught the Greddy SP2,....and.........
i baught it from roger *casanova* haha.....thanx bro....holla

 

Yay!!! I got my ceiling textured today. Now I have to paint it.

And, no...I did not sneeze and have paint residue blown onto the ceiling.

In other news, Mazda is warrantying my steering column. A plactic shim moved out of place and I have a bunch of play in the steering wheel. I'm waiting to find out when I have to bring it in.

And I can't wait to get an R3. I'm thinking of getting one around next March, but I may see if I can hold off a couple of months to see what the 2010s look like.

And I've been having fun on the suzuki. Got some riding in this weekend. 60mpg is really nice for short errands and stuff.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

 

So hows the exhaust RXH8TED

 

sounds great. Has a slight leak in the back flange cause the seal looks to be pretty burnt. but thats an extremely minor fix.

 

Nice exhaust! When you install it to make sure its straight out the shrouds. If not, I've seen some burnt *** shrouds because the tips are so big.

BTW I still have my REVi ram air duct if anyone wants to grab it. $50 takes it.

 

I live in Lafayette and i was wondering if anyone knew where the closest autox was

 

yea its installed. we just did a direct swap over. my stock for his greddy. everything is striahgt...except the seal as i mentioned.
and where have u been tony...when am i gonna get to see that Z? !!!!


greg, goto www.sportcompact.org and make a thread asking where the next autox is. My boy brett can fill u in, since he likes to ditch his friends to go autox every other week....lol

 

Sounds like it was a trade of a lifetime! Lol, I been working.. That and messing with the Z. Heres the most recent picture..

 

Is that the intake system u have for sale?

 

ok i did research and found out what it was.It says u gotta remove front bumper and i kinda dont want to mess with it. Does it imrpove any?

 

it helps improve about 10 hp. but its not really noticable.....just like with any nother car. Also, the only intakes for the 8 that don't require the removal of the front bumber, are the K&N drop in filter *which does nothing*, and the HKS racing suction *which if your not in a full race setup i wouldn't spend the extra money*



Hey tony, do u still work at the ritz carlton?

 

That link isnt working for me

 

err yea i saw that this morning. i'll call chriss later to see whats the deal...

 

near lafayette no where! but baton rouge is the nearest i think the last time i checked

 

Yeah, what he said.

I never worked at the Ritz. I work at the big Marriott down the street.

 

If i get rained out this weekend from my job i might see about going down that way and gettin it. I been meaning on heading back down that way for a lil road trip since katrina. If not this weekend maybe next. just pm me your number. I would do it by paypal but my account is currently down right now. My 8 is all stock with the exception of a new motor, exhaust and the 09 flash. I would like to get the intake that mates with this. Is removing the bumper hard to do? Does the pulley help out any?

 

o i thaught u were at the ritz....thats what kim told me.....haha

 

Alright thats cool. Pm'd

Removing the front bumper is very easy. Bumper Removal

I had the agency crank pulley installed on my 8 and it made the car rev a little faster.

I also have the rx8 black dippled all weather floor mats. $30

 

Lol, I saw Kim at the Sheraton one night and I think he might have misheard me when I said MARRIOTT. It kind of sounds like Ritz....

 

lol dude, this is kim we are talking about......he is kind of burnt.....hahah but we love him still.
(scenario) Kim: man that drift session rocked.
us: 10 mins tnl round 2....
kim: SAFETY MEETING!!!!!!
*wink wink*


haha....lol alls good. So when you gonna show ur face around tony?

 

Alright, i'm the certified rx8 headlight master now.

if your headlight is ever going to leak, i have a pretty good idea where it will be coming from. when i open my hood, there is a slight portion of the headlight that is exposed underneath the actual hood. There is an exposed seal, which on my headlights, looks like some black glue or something.

Anyway, on both headlights, the portion of the seal that is exposed underneath the hood looks cracked and chipped. I applied a seal to the driver side headlight and no more fogging or water entry for 4 days+.. includes washing the car too.

As far as how to dry your headlight out if you get water in it, simply take out your bright bulb, leave your hood open on a dry day, and it will typically dry itself.

As far as the visible seal around the headlight that touches the fenders, it looks virtually impossible to leak from that area unless cracked. It looks like, from the condition of BOTH of my headlights, that the exposed seal underneath the hood where water enters through the crack of the hood and fender is the problem area.

I know, I helped everybody.

 

does anyone know where i can find a honda crx around for cheap. It doesnt have to have a motor in it. Or it could be a civic 2 or 4 door or even a hatch from...around 88 to 95. My lil project im workin on is a b18a1 block with a b18c1 top end.

 

I will be getting one soon I am going to paretti tommorrow to see if they can approve me with just my trade. I have no car credit but a 628 score for regular credit cards hopefully they can get me done if not i will have to wait two months to get so money down with my trade cause I have no one to cosign but I cant wait to be part of the rotary revolution

 

sweet. great to see we are gaining another new member. =) let us know how it goes.

 

What part of La are u from? I here its kinda easy to get a 8 right now to move out the old stock. Idunno if the new 09 rx8s are included on all of the rebates going on now
