You have been placed on the list, Juan. ;)

By that time, looking up/purchasing BHR products will become FAR easier for everyone.

Thanks dude, cant wait!

:scratchhe:icon_bs: how could it get any easier? i ask you if you have something, you give me a quote, i send you money, you send me the product (after it's done with design/testing/..........)

i think he's hinting that BHR will be stepping up to the mid 90's and making a real website.

It was the next logical step. Ray is even on facebook now!

My god don't let him do that.......how will he dispense his advise? There are enough of those "just send your money" web sites out there. With Ray it's always been "do you really need it?" and "how can I help you". That cranky old voice is full of that always helpful to me will disappear behind the disconnected retailer persona of which we have so much of.

I admit it would be a lot nicer for his sales to just have people lay down their money but then how do you know it's right for you?

QFT. Even though I've never spoken to him on the phone, PMs have always been very helpful.

You totally beat me to it. Not that I will rely on said website for quick reference... I still prefer hour long convos with Ray any day, but pictures are nice... and it will be a way to watch the company grow. Also, it will probably free up a lot of time for the guys... to make more stuff and make drunken videos for our entertainment. :FIREdevil:FIREdevil:FIREdevil

... I want stock options!:SHOCKED:

I still require special attention for being O-G BHR.


AND... since there was no answer to my last question, I believe it's already in the pipeline and you are trying to keep it under wraps. :lol2::FIREdevil

What about the possibility of a BHR grounding system or kit? I think that would be worth while and may help with several issues I have been having. :icon5:

true dat!

Ross_Dawg 08-27-2009 06:48 PM

Arrggghhhh....

Those damn bolts connecting the header to cat are impossible. I emptied an entire can of liquid wrench on them and managed to strip all 3 bolts :lol:

Taking it to a shop tomorrow to have them cut em out.

I want to hear my baby purr :(

Jon316G 08-27-2009 07:00 PM

^Did you let the car cool off before attempting it?
With it too warm, the metal is a little soft and can easily round off.
And also, make sure to use a 6-point socket instead of a 12-point.

But yes, even then it can still be a PITA.

it depends on how old your car is and how many times the cat has been removed. But yeah, I think most people strip at least one of them. On mine, it didn't just strip, one bolt actually snapped in half from the pressure exerted on it when I tried to remove it.

Jedi54 08-27-2009 07:03 PM

^^^ you're just too buff for the RX-8.

Thats because the RX8 isn't used to... TORQUE!

You don't need to cut them out. They are simply pressed in. All you need is a good metal punch and small 4 lb hammer. Hit them they come right out.

on my dyno video on youtube, someone commented that my car's torque is less than the torque on his lugnuts.

I would reply:

Dear Clever Guy,

You are super original, and way ahead of the curve. Please feel free to use you unique and new set of skills as well as superior intelligence to lick my balls.

Thank you,
Wizard Guy
