Lol no that's actually not me. I have a green one. I had rims on it but I put the stock ones back on. Unfortunately I have to drive it for part of winter.. I'll post a pic up on here when I get home.

 

Hey Fuel, Nothing much here, just goin broke also . Gonna change my tranny fluid and decarb my engine with seafoam this weekend, see if I can get the fire department called on me.

Silver, I wanna see that car in person!
Fuel, I still haven't seen yours

 

Alright It's settled. Looks like we are going to have to meet up soon. And if I was you I would change out the diff fluid while you're at it. Doesn't add that much time. I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff. Transaxles ftw!

 

Hey GitFiddle,

Ya I hear ya, I should probably do the same. I just replaced my started, starts as easy as butter ... We def need to meet.

To Silver6,

O sry about the confusion man lol. I was hoping that was you.

Feel free to let me know if you guys are up for anything

PCe

 

Yeah, I wanted to do my diff while I was at it, but it'll have to wait til next semester. I had to stop at $50 for 3 quarts of fluid for the tranny. Got red line, at least it should last until I have to bury the tranny and supposedly a lot of guys can downshift into 1st on the stuff at 25mph... I can barely get it into 1st at 8 mph right now -.-

You guys can come hang out on Saturday while I work on it if you want. I have 2 dates on Sunday so I'll be busy then.

 

Yeah redline is expensive. I switched my RX8 to redline when I first got it. You can downshift to 1st at 25 but it's not recommended. It should feel a lot smoother especially if this is the first time it's been changed.

 

Here is my car.

 

^Epic fail...

 

Attempt number 2

 

i had silver one before, and i got a red one now.
any track near school?

 

Purdue automotive performance association is the local car club, they get together and go do autocross once in a while. Also have meetings on wednesday nights

 

Im in!!
This looks really cool. What is your guys take on it? Do you think you will do it? Let me know. Hope all is well with you guys. Have not talked with any of you, especially you GitFiddle, for awhile lol.

I went to a meeting a few weeks ago and met some of them, they seem like a cool bunch of guys. Just havent been able to make it to any since from busy schedule. The meetings are more or less teaching presentations. The one I went to he taught about diesel engines, and I think last week somebody did a presentation on car detailing.
I think they also build a go kart for some purdue gokart race.

 

Some purdue gokart race? Grand prix? That's a huge weekend.

Anyways I decided to warn everyone. I went to an exhaust shop called neils muffler today. All I wanted them to do was unscrew a rusty plug in my downpipe since I have no tools up here. The car was in the shop for an hour and a half... They stalled it 6 times getting it into the shop. They accidently ripped some of my underbody panels so now it drags on the ground. They yanked a wire out of my water temp gauge that wasn't even visible. Don't know how they pulled that one off. I had a small tear in the seat that is now three times the size it was. And lastly the guy couldn't figure out how to turn off the car because of the turbo timer even though I told him how. So he left it running in the middle of lafayette unlocked with the keys in it.... I will never go back and I would suggest no one else going there.

 

Yeah Grand Prix thats the one. I'm still new here .

Wow sounds like that shop took a giant shat on you.
Anyways next time you need something stupid like that done, I've got an ok collection of tools here. You can just buy me a 6pack or beer or something.

 

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the delay. I have been so busy and not able to get on here as much. I have been browsing over what some of you have said.

As to the Neil Muffler thing. OMG man I am sure you can get some **** out of them. Just take photos of your car after all the damage they have done. I guarantee you can slam them against the wall. I would be pissed.

As to what GitFiddle said,
That autocross club sounds interesting and I have yet to seek them out and actually go to a meeting. For the grand prix, I can confidently say that none of those guys probably wrench on the go carts here at Purdue because my dad is the one who is in charge of the whole grand prix go carts facility. He has been working there since the beginning of this semester so perhaps they have before but not now. It is rather interesting, my dad has been doing some innovative **** there. If you guys ever want a tour and simply see the stuff let me know and I will put in the good word for you .

Hope all is well with you all.

Respectfully,

FueL

 

Somebody's gotta revive this sucka

 

Whats Up Whats Up!!!
Have not been on here for awhile. How is everyone doing? This winter is really taking a toll on me lol.

Hey GitFiddle, how have you been man? I was wondering something, I actually was wondering what you did to your tranny? When I seem to shift it does not shift as smooth as yours and I was thinking maybe what you did is what I need to do to mine. Any pointers? :D I could drive it over one day and maybe we could take a look at it? Feel free to let me know man. Hope classes are going good. What have you been up to? Anyway, I have been meaning to catch up. It seems like the last time we hung out, I became really busy afterwards. Sux lol.

^change the fluid out to redline synthetic. Night and day difference. And I haven't been on here much considering I no longer have an rx8 and I no longer go to Purdue.

 

^ What silver said. You drove it before I put redline into it though, you should feel it now. Its like $60 to do it yourself though, and the closest place i found that carries it is racer wholesale in indy. But i also did a 1:3 mix of MT-90 in my trans fluid so it wouldnt be like stirring concrete before it warms up in the winter.

 

Hey whatup Gitfiddle!

Quick question man, would you happen to have a car lift? My 8 needs a new o2 sensor (rear) and I was wondering if I could trouble you in maybe using a easier area to work with. As you know my area around the cactus is not the best place to have to lay to take that out lol. I hope I do not come off as rude or anything. If not, I understand, I am sure you are busy as it is. If its not too big of a deal I could come over whenever. What have you been doing? Anything?

Anyway let me know bro. I appreciate it. Hope all is well.

Best Regards
