I think checking compression is one of those things that most non-neurotic people just don't feel the need to do randomly. Unless they're having a problem, have a dyno session coming up, or something like that, it's not just in the forefront of ones mind.

If the car is having problems, that is a different story entirely!

I think I can come, if I don't have to work (LIFE IS HARDDDD )

Well, not sure if it will be apporiate for me to compression test there. but it will be cool to hang out with other rx-8 people I guess.

If I can fix my FC in time, I just gonna be driving my FC need to break the new engine in. I started it and re-adjust it to have stable idle, just having 2 leaking problems that I need to fix, install fan shroud and install all fenders and bumpers back, then I'm ready to roll.

haha, true. But the offer was for a significant price deduction from what the stealership charges...so we can become neurotic for a while here!

I live just over the GWB. PM the price to test it (if you are still doing that) and I will come out to a meet in NYC (I read you guys have one on thursdays) My car had an engine put in in 2010, it has about 15k miles on it. I would still be interested in knowing what its at. I plan on doing a lot of work with my 8 in the next year. But first come new brake pads, and fix CEL P2004. After that I need to figure out what is making the loud click when I press my brakes at a certain pressure. (I did search and have an Idea) and I need a general tune up and Decarb. Gotta do this all within the next 2 weeks then get 2 new front tires. So if your price is budget friendly please hit me up.

Haven't check this thread for a while

Well, I will start another one soon, right now I'm looking for a new location to do this, prefer a parking lot, there are couple parking lots around where I live but problem is, it's pack every weekend and I don't think anybody wanna do it during the weekday.

As for pricing, I'll annouce it with the new location. Oh also deposit will be required via PayPal. it will be cheap don't worry.

Will start a new thread soon.
