clunking could be endlinks

 

Yeah could be that as well. We have messed with Hoss-05's car quite a bit and there are still some noises here and there but it's all good because they are drowned out by the noise form the loud *** Carbotech brake pads

 

could be allot of ****... My best guess is the ball joints drove down further after the car settled and need to be tq'd down again.

 

I found the missing seats!

This listing is for one complete set of 4 2009 RX-8 R3 factory OEM Recaro seats. 2 front and 2 back. Outstanding condition. I pulled these from my RX-8 at around 4,000 miles and installed the cloth ones from a Sport model. I have stored them covered in a closet since then. I don’t think you’ll
find a nicer set.


Spencerm1 is the new master troll!

 

cant wait till tomorrow when they are mounted...now only if it would stop raining so I could wash my car for the first time in 2 months.

 

Nice man, I have been waiting to wash mine since I got it running, it's killing me.

 

looks like we have more rain coming at the end of the week, it'll look funny tomorrow..... clean wheels and everyhting else filthy

 

It's time for a photoshoot

 

during 3 sisters?..... when it happens

 

Whenever and wherever, I would like to get multiple cars at the graffiti spot.

 

you and hoss have some great shots there, I forsee a VR 8 on either side of my Ti

 

That would be cool. I'd like to get everyone together for a shoot again.

 

Yeah that would be bad ***! Have to wait till Mike is done with his mods as well. + Raul needs a bit more work.

 

What does this mean?

 

By the way, you guys missed a good time on Saturday at Harris Hill. They let everyone drive as much as they wanted for the whole morning. Good times, I will have some GoPro video posted up at some point.

 

Just that you are good at trolling the internet for stuff.

I would have loved to have made it. Sounds like a blast.

 

Late December meet? I wanna meet you guys and talk trash about cornholios wheels in person (jk)

 

I'm down with it, bring your *** up. The weather has to clear soon, it never stays this shitty long.

 

Anytime between Dec 26 and Jan 2 would be dandy for me.

 

lol....

Hopefully by then I got the springs and shocks done on the wife,s LY...

 

What should I torque the spacers to?

 

Let me know, I can help!

I torque mine the same as my wheels, at tad under what the last TSB recommends, 100ft/lb.

 

The TSB said 100ft/lbs because of a squeaky noise from the mating surface of hub and wheel. It's overkill really but shouldn't hurt anything. My Project Kics said 80ft/lbs on their paperwork.

 

Yeah I think as long as you tighten them to at least 85ft/lbs you are good. But sometimes I worry if my torque wrench is even calibrated right. I use the crap out of my mediocre 1/2" torque wrench so plan on buying a real high end torque wrench at some point.

 

Thanks dudez....
