I've actually done that already, those pictures are 6 months old. Great minds think alike

I'm hoping to get my new MAF housing soon, I'll take some new engine bay pics then.

 

sexy cars...

 

damnn...me likey!

 

WB + Pettit SC = FTW!!!

 

Here are some pictures of my car getting flash-ready down at Pettit Racing:




and look what was in the garage.... the Stage III Pettit RX-8 (it's for sale btw):


and on the shelf to the left of the Pettit Stage III RX-8:

(I think these are spoken for, but I'm sure they have more)

and next to my car was Mzdarx8's WWP getting the install:


It was a perfect day.

 

very nice.

thanks for sharing!

 

I take this back. They called asking how the service went, and when I brought up the scratches, they offered to repair the damage. From past experience, most places would just laugh in your face, these guys will own up to their mistakes... which leads me to believe they don't make mistakes often.

I'm heading back there a week from Thursday. We'll see how it goes.

 

For what it's worth...........I stand there politely and don't let them use an air gun. I make sure they torque by hand after my first experience.

 

Yep............it's a Racing Beat front, and I assure you both cars are very sweet! I am envious and these two guys drive me nuts mentally about getting the S/C. They don't flaunt it, it just makes me want it so bad after seeing, hearing, and riding in it. I go back and forth on this each and every day!

 

Don't leave it parked out front of the house...........ya never know........rims might come up missing! Yeah............I'm off work today(19 hours yesterday), so I'm in post mode at home today!

 

very nice, love the rides.

 

it's only parked out front when I'm washing it

Man, after all that hard work, you need a vacation, a supercharged vacation...

 

Here's a few pics I took of the two cars

 

a few more:

 

and the last ones I found:

 

Oh wait, this are the LAST ones I found:

 

How do you REALLY feel, lol.

 

^^^ I predict this thread will get very interesting very soon

 

Bastage, if you don't mind me asking, how much have you spend on your setup??? I'm thinking of going the FI route and the pettit supercharger is the one that appeals to me the most, specially after seeing it in person. I know the stage 2 sc retails for $7500 and installation is about $1000, but overall, including tuning other upgrades(if any), etc... how much has it been overall???

 

I was the second car to get it, so I had a pretty good deal. They raised the prices in the fall about 4 months after I got mine.

$4995 for the supercharger
$1400 for the interceptor-x (Which I later sold to a fellow forum member and used the proceeds to get the flash)

Installation was free.

In total, I spent about 6500(including taxes) on the Pettit kit. It's not cheap, but the peace of mind of it made it a bargain for me.

This is what they're currently charging:

Stage II 275 WHP & 185 lb/ft $6,694 tuned
Stage II CS 300 WHP & 195lb/ft $7,144 tuned

The tuning is basically a reflash of your ECU, and it's included in their price.

As for the thread getting ugly. I don't care. All he has is a worthless piece of paper

 

Bastage, thanks for the quick response, I'm still doing my homework and researching as much as I can before going FI.

 

fight fight fight

thank god my warranty is holding me back from fi...

 

how many miles you got left....i have 58500 lol =)

 

Yeah, tell me more, and get into some real detail, since you are apparently pulling this stuff out your ***.

 

8600 posts / 46 months == 186 posts/month == incompatible with life.

He's right, go spend some time with your daughter, if you really have one. I hope she takes after her mom though.. for her sake.

On a lighter note, here's a picture of a very old Ford pickup I ran into while driving through the Great Smoky Mountains:





The owner was a pretty cool guy who basically takes his truck up into the mountains every few days to get some fresh air and enjoy the scenery.

And here's a car I ran into at the dragon:
