Because the customer doesn't know what they truly want? :lol2:




It's the same line between PD's answers being accurate as well, but they are surface answers, and aren't really addressing the true reason for why those answers are true in the first place.


Calling us individually would take alot of calls before you got around to someone who can give you an accurate answer. And if you just stopped at the first customer, you would be screwed. But if you called them all, you would be confused. Does that make sense? :)

I try not to make people feel uncomfortable for simply inquiring about things. Hell, I get dozens of e-mails from people needing tech answers (including shops across the country who are not RX-8 specialists) and I like the personal contact and learning about those whom I seek to serve/help.

Of all the dynamics I have recognized in this industry, what we are now discussing was one thing I could not figure out.... so, thanks for the conversation on it.

I guess the next question is "Why does a vendor ask about this stuff in one of his own threads when he can simply call his customers, individually, and get many of the same answers?" :lol2:

Sorry I thought your query was in general and not specific to you or anyone. My response was along those lines.

Anyone should absolutely feel comfortable contacting you directly and expect a warm and thorough response.

No BS or ass kissing here. 5 stars on your customer service.

What I mean is that I figured people would assume all vendors would be helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, etc

Well my patronage will be warm, ruff, and full of contempt! Now gimme Monkey!

I assume all vendors are helpless, greedy, and imply friendliness in order to make a sale. Seldom have I ever met one which displays genuine customer service.

You Jerks are just forcing the cash out of my wallet!

I don't know..... I just hope that Jen doesn't think I am being curmudgeonly about all this. Her question simply reminded me of a curiosity I have had for a while. :)

Seriously, though, when is James going to bring you to AZ to meet the BHR crew? He had a LOT of fun last year when he visited. Couple times, actually.......

This coming from the man who cooks like he should live San Fran???

and I prefer the term "Travel Sized".. kthnx :rollingla

We are shooting for sometime in the beginning part of the new year... but with my giant life change and uprooting of my life, things right now are still settling... including my finances..

:lol: looks like you're cooking oatmeal?

J8635621 11-06-2010 11:21 PM

If that is right, I'm gonna call you Sherlock Holmes because there are no clues at all besides he is stirring something.

Ross_Dawg 11-06-2010 11:34 PM

Well, let us first start off with the frying pan. My guess is scrambled eggs. Why? Because the time is 6:57 am. Well it could be PM, but where's the sun peeking through the blinds? Also, you can tell it's early in the morning by how Ray is slumped over, putting weight on his hip to keep it up. Also, he is wearing casual clothes, clothes you would just throw on to make breakfast.

Also you can see the coffe pot going in the background. Definitely oatmeal in the pot.

Chad D. 11-06-2010 11:49 PM

good eye dawg, he also has something in the oven or two burners on the left side with one in use.

Greenblurr93 11-07-2010 08:49 AM

actually, it was dinner.... he cooked me dinner on my last night there...

Installed the midpipe w/CAT last night. It was raining so I did not get to push it that much but it sounds great! Has a bit of a lower aggressive tone. The pipe is banging on some metal below so I need look into that to see what is going on. The hanger is in the rubber exhaust hanger as well.

Nice! It'll sound much nicer when you can take it to WOT.

WinningRX8Chick 11-10-2010 07:15 AM

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I got my midpipe yesterday!!! Had no time to install it last night so it's getting installed today by my live in mechanic while he's at work. ;)

I can't wait to hear it!!!

RIWWP 11-10-2010 07:20 AM

Gratz Jenn!

Let us know :)

oltmann 11-10-2010 11:37 AM

So what is the quid pro quo with your live-in mechanic?

Is anyone running the new dual-resonated with a Greddy SP2 catback? I really need an idea on what this sounds like but there's I can't find a sound clip anywhere.

J8635621 11-10-2010 12:38 PM

Dual resonated?

Grog 11-10-2010 12:52 PM

My bad, I just meant the second gen BHR. dunno where dual resonated came from lol

I also stumbled upon Cavemancan's videos so I think I found what I needed. nevermind

map 11-10-2010 12:54 PM

Speaking of dual resonated BHR midpipes, what does happen if you weld in two of them? Did BHR ever try it? I was thinking about this the other day.
