All I saw was a gal in the car.

She smiled and waved though.

Just got back from Spectators around 2pm. They have some good food there. Intakedrx8 said he definitely will be back there for more.

I didn't know you were heading out to Delaware.

What's going on out there?

CF hood on your 8?

Turbo kit finished?

Speedrx8er

My lil bro got his 8 in NJ and it came with carbon fiber hood.
But have come oxidation.

I hadn't start on the kit yet . I've been driving my car sense my lil bro has been taking my wife's car.

BoosTED

Ah I see.

Thinking you must have finished your kit if you got a CF hood...

How bad was the oxidization?

If you clear it, make sure and have the surface free of oxidization before spraying. Clear is expensive.

SuperC,
What is your snow tire pressure set as?

BoosTED

iTrader: (2)

I have them set at 32 lbs, max pressure on them is 50 lbs.

When I had them set higher (45 lbs) I lost traction noticably
quicker.

Sounds nice JPotta.

Did you warm the car up first for about 10 minutes?

(exhaust is warmer, the flames will be bigger).

JPotta

Yea I did let it warm up to normal operating temp. The flames seem to be much bigger when Im driving tho.

Speedrx8er

very NICE

That would be because the ECU can tell when there is a load on the engine and it gives more fuel. oh and when driving the RPMs usually stay above 3 constantly, keeps the tips warm enough to ignite the unburned fuel when it hits the oxygen.

So, I yanked it back and make some cuts then mount everything back on.

Hey everyone,

Bought my Black RX8 about 6 months ago and its been in storage for about 3 months now. about to pull it out in about 2 weeks. just bought 18x8 40 offset TSW Thruxtons and bought the Kumho Ecsta SPT tires for the time being. When i have to purchase new tires i think i am going to go with the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT Tires. I live right next to Ridgedale mall are there going to be any meetings in the near future. i know Danny who drives a Yellow RX8 and he said that a lot of you meet at the Fudruckers off of 394 and louisiana. Let me know it'd be nice to meet up sometime.

Thanks
Justin
