haha i know my camera fucked up july 4th and yesterday. i accidentally slept all day. i work night shifts so i got home at 5am try to get a few hours before i pick up my car. i woke up and it was time to go to work again. but today im going to stay up so i can get the car.

Did the shop dyno the car? If it's ready, you should have those numbers by now.

Slept all day?

Damn, if I knew my FI'd 8 was ready for pickup I wouldnt be able to sleep a wink!!

hey someone else on here suggested a good idea what every rx8 owner on here should do throw in a couple bucks we get a used renesis engine with some miles on it they throw a speed force racing turbo put on it n put it to abuse see how much it can hold before it blows that way one of us isnt an unlucky owner of a blown up engined rx8. thats just my opinion though, if ur gettin one put on whats a couple more bucks to see what ur engine is capable of.

You know, that's starting to reeeeeally sound like a good idea.

ok im picking up tommorow FOR SURE. i drove the car today and DAMN. thats all i gotta say. a couple notes the car started. they first started it without the pipe and wow it sounded like a monster. we did a little driving test tune. the car stalled but thats because the screen for the MAFS wasnt yet intalled. the car was running rich so they really need to get it on the dyno for tuning. they didnt want to make an appointment unless it was running good. and it was. the problem was that the setup that i have, is way different than the set up the test car had. (larger turbo internals, test pipes...etc).the car threw a CEL but tim fixed that up with a hit of a button. the only thing left to do is that they need to install the screens, the water injection hasnt yet been installed, and they need to get it to the dyno shop for some FUN TUNING(which will be scheduled next week. i was kind of hurrying them because i need to clean the car for a little local car show. DUNLOP is giving away sponsorship so im hoping to pick one up for the HOT IMPORT DAYS show here in DAYGO. another thing when we test drove the car. it was only set for about 4 psi. so at 8 pounds. i think ill be needing a neck brace. hahaha but eveything is turning out really good. hope i get the dyno #s soon for all you to enjoy. but for now you guys just have to wait

hahaha and about the members trowing a couple bucks. ill consider it. but ill have to get enough money to fix this problem without coming out of my pocket

I'm a little surpirsed they'd give back a largely un-tuned car to a customer. Be pretty careful with it until you can get hard data on what the car is doing!

Here ya go Darin.:D

i went overthere to checkout how the car is doing because i wanted to pick it up today. for the show tommorrow. they didnt want to give it baack to me but tim knows about the little show . dont worry theyre getting the car back monday. oh i got the camera working wo today ill take pics

Please do!

Well, you supposedly picked it up 2 days ago and attended a car show with it. Still nothing posted though?

what car show was it?? I would have thought the pics would be up by now?

Its the "never-ending official countdown SPEED FORCE RACING tubo"

Maybe he is still sleeping...

hahaha i got the car back its great. it'll still have to be tuned. to see its full potential. but dont worry as soon as i get the # i'll post. sorry guys ive been stressing out about the hot import days comming up. because i dont have tires to put on my rims. im trying to borrow some from shops. that im close to. so far its the KEI OFFICE 3 spoke 18s , Axis MOD7 20's (maybe), or mazda speed but i still dont know the sizes yet. if anyone wants to let me borrow. let me know. and i'll pay for your HOT IMPORT DAYS TICKET.

hehehe :p ........It could be the camera messed up, or a family emergency, or the dog ate it, maybe he has the BG's?? (Bubble guts) better known as Diahria?

Or he could be driving around enjoying his turbo and doesnt really care about spending time on the internet posting replies to threads? :)

...right - it'll leave us speculating...like...

I speculate the car made about 215hp at the wheels on the dyno; thus, SFR told you to wait to post numbers until they can create respectable-for-the-money numbers.

:D

I hope I'm wrong!

:D

Ok guys, I know we're all interested and frustrated for lack of results, but let's play nice or this thread gets closed and we have to start all over again. I've removed the last few nasty posts to give us a fresh start. Thanks.

I like fresh starts since mine was one of them :) Just give us some updates.. We are dying for them..

Thankx!

I was thinking the same thing.... I also hope you are wrong.
