Ralphrx8

We need a rx7 & rx8 meets.

York

I'm cool with that, but I don't think the 7-club is having any meets either.. I could be wrong though.

blu_rx8

it would be nice to see more rotary meets

Sephitrask

yup it would. I waved to 4 different 8's today, all of whom looked at me like I was nuts.....

Sephitrask

I did, however, embarrass the crap out of a 240sx on the way to work yesterday morning. Sloooooooooooow ROTFLMFAOBBQ!

blu_rx8

Does anyone know of a decent rotary shop or anyone with experience with rotaries?

Besides the dealership, the usual shop I go to moved so I'm looking for a new shop who can possibly clean and or replace my SSV as it started sticking after my had my engine replaced.

I'm located in Palm Coast which isn't too far from Jacksonville.

Ralphrx8

Sephitrask

I would do it myself, but something that pertains to an engine I don't feel too comfortable working with.

What happened to your rotary guru group you were gonna start, that goes to people's house and fixes their cars?

Sephitrask

I fixed yours didn't I? LOL Palm Coast is just a tad bit farther than Orange Park, and look at how long it took me to make it out there! I like the idea of people coming to me instead

York

Haha, well yea of course you do

Sup everyone,

So i just realized ive been reading these threads for over a year(2 years??) and have yet to ever post once (crazy, i know). Love this place, read it every day. I live in Orange Park, Florida. Drive a titanium gray '04 mt (is there any real other way to drive?) that is over 100k with the original engine. You might see me around as i usually go to all of the big meets that happen from time to time. See you guys around.

York

Good to see a new face! It doesn't seem to happen very often around these parts Look forward to seeing you, once we actually get some rotary meets put together again.

http://www.springbreaknationals.com/ im going sunday !

DaMan007

That looks like a lot of fun, love going to those big conventions where you get to see all kinds of stuff laid out and meet new people.

Since its beginning to heat up im debating changing my coolant to 90/10(distilled water/coolant) with redline water wetter, or 80/20 with water wetter. I got her on 50/50 right now, but i definitely wanna change that before it starts hitting 90 outside. Thoughts?

York

Thread worth reading on Red Line Water Wetter:

DaMan007

That was a very interesting read about water wetter. I have personally used it before once and never had any real issues, but it does make me question using it all or trying the ICE that the other people were suggesting to try. I do think though that im going to go 90/10 though. Distilled water is so cheap in publix :D

DaMan007

Just had the scariest thing happen to me today. I was going down the street at about 55mph and then out of nowhere the steering wheel turned left a full 90 degrees. I corrected fast enough, but then remembered reading the power steering loss threads and immediately shut my car off and restarted it and got the power steering icon. Creeped me out having my car turn on its own in traffic... got lucky. Changing the eps fuse, and gonna clean the connectors; hoping it fixes my issue.

So how are you guys?

Sephitrask

Peachy as can be. waiting for stuff to come in the mail. Installing a mod that will make the fans turn on at 185 instead of 210. Scared the crap out of a lady going home today.. she was tailgating me so she got a well timed fireball on her front bumper. I dont think she will follow quite so closely now

York

Heh, I really need to go catless. Maybe now that I'll have a garage to store **** in I can!

DaMan007

i thought of going catless also; the dual resonated racing beat or just gutting my cat. Dont know, guess well see what spring break weekend brings.

DaMan007

Update on my steering: So I changed the fuse... no change. Tomorrow morning gonna pull the cable and give it a thorough cleaning and add some di electric grease. Then off to autozone to prep for my little spring break weekend overhaul.
