Sup SARX, what's crackin'?
My dad was still in Baja Mexico Off roading so I had to drive all the way to Waco and back Sunday because the hood on my mom's Altima popped open and she could not get it to shut. It was a 5 minute fix, the damn latch assembly was just frozen up for some reason. I cleaned it all out with carb cleaner and that freed it up.

R3 has significantly less hp than my car.
I'm down for a dyno/compression day.
Also there is a good chance I'm going to bail on wekfest and go to sevenstock 15.
Or I might bail on all of it and go to a place with white sandy beaches and pretty senoritas.

Yeah I have not heard back from Kane so we shall see when he gets back. We shoudl go do a dyno session on the same day. We can get tbk to dyno his R3 to give a baseline of what a stock RX-8 is putting down on the same dyno under the same conditions.

I thought about doing sevenstock, I actually really wanted too but I'm just too broke right now. My daughter is going to NY for a month so that is going to be a bit of money I am sure.

Yeah but knowing what a stock car is putting down on that particular dyno will give us a good baseline I think. A compression test is fine but this is cheaper and I think if someone puts down less than stellar numbers then they can decide on a compression test.

you guys let me know though because I am serious about doing the test and if anyone else will benefit I will get wiht NYCGPS vs going to a local mazda

So my new Mazda 3 has a touchscreen DVD player from Rosen. First off, are those decent? Second, how do I bypass the parking brake having to be pulled to watch a movie? Traffic gets boring sometimes. Is installing a rear/back up camera hard? I know cornholio is an audio master.

Alternatively you can find the wire that looks out of place by your parking brake. Pull up on the brake measure the resistance at that wire. Disengage the brake to make sure it goes open. Purchase a resistor that matches that resistance and solder it in.
The first solution is much easier.
