I told myself I wouldn't get married till I went to Thailand and for good reason. Anything goes there. Pattaya Beach is a true "Sin City." If you ever get there, once you see Walking Street you'll understand. Words can't describe. Stimulis overload. :rock:

truemagellen 12-23-2005 04:42 PM

num :)

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-23-2005 05:08 PM

Well tomorrow I am going to Zaino my 8, and get it to a scenic spot and get some pics done. Just have to hide the shopping cart scratches that some A$$HOLE left in my front bumper for me yesterday.

I know it didn't happen at Target since there aren't any in Hawaii, but I noticed that some people don't know where the carts are supposed to go when they are done emptying them into their vehicles, I pushed two of them to the cart corral.

Sorry to hear about the mishap.

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-24-2005 11:32 AM

It's okay, now. Read my post up in RX-8 discussion about what happened to SVT Cobra. I guess it is just Bad Karma

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-24-2005 02:43 PM

BTY. Merry Christmas to all of you.

you found some of the woman in that picture ;)

I'm up for Thai food :) num

as for your sub...what kind of LOC are you using or are you using an internal one?

Speedrx8er 12-27-2005 07:24 AM

I think they are internal

truemagellen 12-27-2005 08:21 AM

get a seperate one so you can control the preamp better

get a PIE differential LOC or the Dave Navone LOC, both are inexpensive which is the nice part :)

email ted about this he is great with it

fray 12-27-2005 09:42 AM

Mmm Thai food. What places do you guys normally go to?

When I need some authentic Thai, hell we just pull the ole ship out, head to Thailand for some kick ass Chicken satay w/noodles and prawns. Then it's off for some adult debauchery in Pataya Beach. :rock:

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-27-2005 09:49 AM

Can I get your unbiased, objective opinions of these rims please?

truemagellen 12-27-2005 09:56 AM

I like a gloss black face and polished lip on the sunlight silvers

I was looking at a Ro_ja gloss black face & plished lip for a while but the price was outrageous, these appear to be a damn good deal

the questions that must be asked is how heavy are these?

also I've never heard of the brand 'Speedy Octane' and in searching only found ebay listings by this seller...there is a good chance they are simply rebranded...so the only worry is structural integrity

oh and I see they sell 19s...if you want go for the 19s...they'll really make the MS kit you have coming look great :) (although 19s may stiffen the ride a bit here in minnesota :))

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-27-2005 10:05 AM

Well I was in Minnesota over Thanksgiving, and the roads in Hawaii are no better. It rans here, a lot. So the roads pit and we get huge pot holes, some can classify as canyons. I think what I will do is keep 18's for now. Once I get back to MN, I will buy a set of 19's for summer driving and put winter tires on the 18's.

keep me updated on this...that was my plan last year and I chickened out as I couldn't decide...ended up getting another set of stock 18 rims and putting Blizzaks on those

so far it has worked out great but I still have the 19inch itch :)

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-27-2005 10:13 AM

It appears that Speed Wheels is an Australian import.

truemagellen 12-27-2005 10:13 AM

btw the picture on ebay looks like 19s...the picture on their website looks like 18s

and now that I've seen the Speedy logo I do recognize it from various car mags

It's tempting but I think I want to get the exhaust done after the kit gets on. So many choices of what to do. :dunno:

Oh, yesterday I read on of the DIY on install a push button start. I see it's more of for looks thing. So that got me brainstorming. Could we find: 1. a button suitable, and 2. make a start button located on the steering wheel by either the volume controls or the cruise buttons

truemagellen 12-27-2005 10:20 AM

yes so true, so many choices :)
