****** engineering starting up with the problem sets I've been at it for 5 hours and am just starting the last one, of two... granted I was eating **** for a while but thats besides the point!

perks11

^^^ you were eating ****? EWWWWW!!! and i thought people that went to Wash U were smart!!

yea you guys need to get up here.

James when are you planning on installing the rest of the stuff you have?


also anyone have any tricks to keep chrome wheels nice during winter? I went and bought a sealant from auto zone, and have been cleaning them as much as i can. but wondering if there were any tricks.

TotalImmortal

Yeah that's right an s14. I have to do intercooler piping exhaust and brakes before the fc is even drivable then I have to do suspension and eventually put a cage in.

perks11

not sure if anyone is interested but theres a guy with a veilside front bumper for sale. $100

Well I got my 6000k lights and my bhr ignition in and need to install em! Whose down to help!? I also need to fix my exhaust pipe and re seat one of my parking lights which has either gone bad or is loose.

That's a real good deal on the bumper but in my opinion that kit is a bit over the top

RE_guru

mine is stripped down to nothing right now getting ready to stitch weld

yeah thats him he totalled his s-14 last summer and at the last MM bought Dewey's (JDMhookup.com) S-14. he isn't in columbia anymore he just graduated and moved back.

all i have left to do for now is the SS brake lines and painting my calipers but want to wait till it warms up a bit so i can ventilate the garage as i paint.

RyansRx8

Yep that veilside imo is a little ricey and way to much going on lol Brett are you coming down to stl this weekeend?

RE_guru

that is coming out it is dewey's cage he is having one of our teammates remake the cage that was in his previous s-14

perks11

ha ha i agree the veilside is a little to agressive and ricey, but i've seen a couple members pull it off.

prolly not gonna make it back this weekend, mizzou plays oklahoma state tomm in basketball and our womens team plays kansas after that, so i will prolly end up working both. kinda sucks but gotta love the job, nothing better than sitting courtside and talking to future or former mizzou tiger athletes.

Hey everyone. Im new to the forums. I dont have an RX-8 at the moment planning on getting one by the end of Feb. Anyways ive been looking around at some and lately have been looking at this one at Sunset ford. http://www.sunset-ford.com/2004-mazd...x-8-c-5764.htm .. If anyone can give me some feedback as to what they think about this one or if they know of any others for sale id appreciate it. And also i have driven the one at sunset its very clean and s runs great im just a lil nervous with it having 82,000 miles on it.

Sparks91188

Hey nothing worng with high miles, I have 87,000 on my 8 and she runs great. it is all about how you take care of your car make sure that you baby it though. also check the clutch out. my was a lease car and mine blew out a few months after owning it. also make sure to change the oil every 3000 miles do not let it go. just make sure to do your research and you should be fine. if you have questions this is a great place to get answers. just use the search function on the forum to look up what you need. good luck with the buy man.

Thanks for the information. Im not to worried about how well its maintained once i get it since i will keep it in very good condition. Im just worried about who had it before. Hopefully ill find a good one and maybe meet up and cruise with some of you guys.

Cf05

absolutely just get the carfax on it and run the vin by mazda usa and make sure all of its recalls have been done and that it still qualifies for the rotary core warranty.

In other news who has a heated garage they want to offer up this weekend?! I'll bring you beer!

RyansRx8

13k is too high for an rx8 with 82,000 miles...theres rx8's left and right selling for that much with only 30k on them..If I was you I'd keep looking unless they can lower down the price

RX8inSTL

iTrader: (7)

Yea it seemed a lil steep for the price but it is from a dealer and their gonna be makin some money. I just love the leather interior on them though and cant seem to find any of the ones with low miles and price with the leather interior.
Maybe ill just buy some aftermarket seats.

Twiztid

iTrader: (4)

yea at that price you shoulc be able to get one with 30-40k for an 80k you shouldn't pay over 10-11k
i know deweys cage was coming out but till then it's hard to miss.

Sparks91188

you could have my leather seats when I change them later this year hopefully lol

TotalImmortal

Yeah that's way too much! I only payed a little more than that for mine 2 years ago and it only had 38k miles on the odometer, I got it from a dealer, and it has leather.

On another note who is going to the auto show tomorrow? We are gonna go after lunch tomorrow.

Sparks91188

I want to go so bad, but I don't get off until 6pm and my brakes are in so I will be changing the pads and rotors and painting my calipers all at once in my garage.
