one thing you are missing with all your criticism MM, is that there are now several owners with this kit - 5 (i think) on this site who are all happy with it .
I've been following this site for 18 months now and in the context of major RX8 upgrades this is no small achievement .
Your constant put downs do seem like a personal grudge/crusade against Pettit to most of us even though there is some substance to a lot of what you say .

I did not know that English was not your 1st language. You have a nice command of English. It was not a factor in my tirade!
I also must admit that I expected more of an assault response than you offered and that both surprised me and humbled me.
I do not see where Cam misdirected the questions, honestly. You posed a more direct question and more support of the others and I would hope to get them answered for all as well. Naturally, I made some assumptions of your post, but I have read several of your post and do know you to be hard on all walks. I do know you have a very unhealthy affliction with cars too!
A bit sensitive was I, Yes.. maybe. I am full of and share your same desire to have products working at optimal and do agree that sometimes the question of WTF? needs to be asked. Don't think for a short second that I am blindly leaping into a support category. I just know what Pettit is and know they have way more Technical ability tan you "Seemingly" give them credit for.
I'd like to ramble on more but my daughters really want to go for a walk so I gotta dip for a bit.
Thanks for not igniting on my post, the verbatim quotes was a bit funny and made me laugh too...
Your new professed fan is way hilarious too. I hope you do get the chance to hook-up with her and rip her out of the fame! Sound like she needs a good Rotation!

I'm waiting! I had to get out of the Jacuzzi because I was starting to get prune skin.
Now I'm just laying here in the sun drying off. Don't you want to know what I'm wearing?
Do you have a MySpace page so I can look at your pics! That would be so hot.
Don't be a tease! I've got whipped cream!
Well, then lets stop with the attacks on my "intent" and get some answers!

Only if you go again.
If you couldn't make sense out of my conversation here with Dan, then you are not in a position to offer analysis and shouldn't be posting crap like this.
I'm trying to help you and the rest of your "brethren", so get over the idea that you have the corner on this discourse or that my questions are aimed at you personally or designed to disparage Pettit on name or premise alone.
You are not my mother. You do not have the privilege of judging my thoughts, words or actions based on my "attitude".
Grow up and tune in. Otherwise, go play with Mood. I'm sure he's lonely.
I offered you a chance at a "truce" and you refused it, so be resigned to having your every word parsed.

No one elected you group emo-kid, either. Talk about ego! I am asking hard questions in hope of seeing a perfection of this system and you are just bad mouthing me because you don't understand the questions in the first place.
Rather than wasting your time attacking my "attitude" or my "social skills" and posting lies about me and my involvement with this device and the people attached to it in these threads, maybe you should go get an education on what the grown-ups in the room are talking about and keep your opinions to yourself.

If you're so hell-bent on the perfection of this system, why don't you just call Cam and speak with him personally, instead of wasting everyone else's time proving to them how smart you are? Dude, grow up already. I'm sure even you're #1 fan is getting disappointed in you.
Where are the lies? When have I ever said anything on this forum that wasn't true? Since you're so focused on parsing my posts, be my guest and parse an answer to this question.
While we're parsing posts, where did you offer me a truce? I don't even see you attempting to "dodge" an answer to that question; you're just plain ignoring it.
I'm not attacking anything here, just making observations. If you take offense to my pointing out your lack of social skills and horrible attitude, then I whole-heartedly, and sincerely apologize.

"Quote"Phill basically threatened to slit his wrist if he was not the 1st Blower shipped. Joking, but he really wanted to be the 1st guy with it."quote"
I hope your just kidding about the sliting of the wrist. I never threatened any one in any way to get the first unit - I was the squeaky wheel with Cam, posting, calling and making offers for the first "shipped" unit. I think if you read my posts you should realize that I knew what the possibilities were for problems. To date my only criticism has been the lack of instructions. Yes I posted when there were problems but not in the negative but as instructional. My unit is the source of this negativity because I do not have the knowledge to do the work myself nor do I live close enough to run to Cam when there is a problem. There are a lot of "us" out here wanting the s/c but most do not have my financial ability to live thru and absorb the problems inherent with a new product. It's Phil not Phill

I asked you to retract that. You didn't. I'll post the PM if you would like.
So, not only are you a liar, you are also an arrogant ***.
Somehow, you've appointed yourself as the hall monitor for this thread, so I'm going to treat you exactly the same way I treated the hall monitor back in school.
I think Dan was speaking figuratively on that one Phil!

It would be pretty boring.
Unless you let Bastage hit me over the head with a folding chair.
Then, he can find out I'm his baby daddy.
Or something like that.
Actually, I think it would look like an episode of "American Body Shop" on Comedy Central! (As long as I get to be Rob, I'm happy!)

Of course they do. I am not assailing their willingness to be proactive upon complaint. They have taken every one of Ray's suggestions (or mine for that matter) and either incorporated them in the kit or made some sort of adjustment.
No doubt some might find MM's comments frustrating but frankly I'm glad that we have people to ask the hard questions. No one here is trying to diminish the work Pettit has done or any assistance Cam has provided. The only way this product is going to get better is if the experienced users pick it apart and find the holes.
I'm glad that MazdaManiac is pushing to make sure the hard questions are asked. A lot of the 8 owners (including myself) in AZMC use him as a reference for difficult issues and problems we get stumped on. Still, he's not the end all be all for answers as I've seen him several times turn to other AZMC members for assistance.
I've spoken with Jeff on several instances about this kit and his opinions and we have several 8 owners interested in going supercharged and no doubt they will seek Pettit's product.
I haven't followed this project nearly as long as some but I can understand those who have being excited about the end result. We've all seen promising products come and fizzle out, rarely seeing a completed build. I think many were so excited to see a finished product they didn't dare start picking at it to see what issues were present.
We can't get tunnel vision just because it's been a long wait.

You know EXACTLY who made it personal by threatening me with bodily harm.
I asked you to retract that. You didn't. I'll post the PM if you would like.
So, not only are you a liar, you are also an arrogant ***.

Oh, and don't bother posting the PM, I'll post it for you, so everyone can see how innocent you are:

I'm staying out of your SC thread because you all seem to be doing just fine on your own. I'll continue to help the end customers that care about their installations, but you can continue to stroke yourselves in that thread and await "fixes" that we pass on to Cam.
However, unless you want me to make a public example of you, I suggest you retract the falsehoods in your last post before you render yourself into a doppelganger of Moon.
He did plenty of lying and making a fool of himself in the old thread, there is no reason to reduce yourself to that level.
This is not a threat, but just a suggestion. You can do as you please. I'd just hate to take you to task on that stuff and get your thread stuffed.
________________________________________
Like I said before, you're dodging my questions. Where was the offer of truce? This PM certainly was no offer of truce, more like a whiney threat, and I'M the "doppelganger of Moon." That was pretty funny, btw.
Also, once again, if you're so hell-bent on making this system perfect, why don't you call Cam personally instead of wasting everyone's time trying to prove to us how smart you think you are?
I'll ask it again: if you're so hell-bent on making this system perfect, why don't you call Cam personally instead of wasting everyone's time trying to prove to us how smart you think you are?
Now, "I'm done here," and by done, I mean posting about this crap.

120 miles driven so far and no problems to talk about it, yet. My idle is steady even with the AC on. Not sure if the Racing Beat Race Flash or the fresh air intake or the combination of both has anything to do with it. Per my conversation with a Racing Beat tech a while back, the RX8 computer takes a several hundred miles to adjust itself. Not sure if this is true since I'm new to the FI technology arena. Stay tune for further updates.

I was only bringing this up because it was implied that Pettit wanted to send a sub-par product to the market as quick as possible. Most and frankly, all of this negative press revolves around your 1st not Pettit installed s/c. Let me make it clear that I nor Cam are blaming you or saying that you caused a nightmare... but basically, Pettit gets to be the whipping Co. for releasing it in somewhat of a rush. It was initially planned that 4-5 test 8's (One was to be mine cause I do Not track but do lots of High & Low-Speed in City Travel) were to have it and deal with the issues so a final product would be mint, but the market stated they all wanted to be the test units and could deal with the set-backs of trouble-shooting & issue discovery.
Lastly, You, Ray and Jeff have provided very valuable input with the issues that you faced. Cam and Ray had good sessions of discovery and enlightenment. The next Gen units will be better for it.
I am just saying that Pettit really wants to produce a quality Product. I know Cam personally, and like most of us he takes pride in his Good Name. He would not purposely Lie or Mislead the public about this product. Every Set Back or retro fit COSTS his company and he would never willfully incur and unnecessary cost. Never-the-less, I think we are all past this stage now. I think most know that Pettit is doing what it takes to make the s/c even better.
