aw intercooler pump----is a bosch unit.. Maybe you could find one at a boat store --bilge pump may work?
or if anyone has one for the ford lightening or the s.c.ed mustangs--they will work.

That's definitely better, I think most people get 18-24 with Cobb tuning.
I got 21 mpg mixed city and highway. Without the Cobb but with some mods including ignition I get 18.9 mixed.

Has anyone done an electric water pump drive?
I was thinking a non rpm based coolant supply may help our 9K rpm bursts.

Those are the headers that are on Ebay right? They look exactly like them, and I think they were "buy it now" for $185. I don't know if trust things that are that cheap and on ebay

Hey guys side note,,, My new bumper,,, the first in the country,,,,
And the only one like it in the world due to my customization of it,,,

Im not even sure you have a RX8 at this point.

california style

is that the R3 one modified?

it corky and i like wht you did with the grill and lip---really sweet---cant wait until you do your ca thing with it--then i will absolutely drool.

These headers are on e bay but so are RB's and exoticspeeds! Titrex is an established company --i like the longer collector and the pipes seem bigger?

anyway i have been working on motor mounts--see my thread. Found some things.

Oh the ewp-- we discussed that 2 yrs ago--i really like the concept--but it appears that it is not a workable idea----yet.

Nice lines, hidden fog lights........Can't help it but I like the one best that is #D in your other thread. I even have a set of the 09 fogs on order because of it.

Ill be starting that project soon .... Keep the gogs they will be compatible,,,

The Volks go nicely with the color of the car. But I just want your seats! I think they are $2000 each!!!

Thanks,,,
With all hardware(rails, sliders) it came to $1800 a piece...
However I did have to modify the bracket the build is in the Aftermarket seats that fit in the RX8 thread,,, I got alot of compliments on that,,, as far as I know its the only Recaro Sportster in an 8...

well--i guess i will have the honor of being the first petti rx8 on road atlanta--going w/e of 8/8 with nasa.
i dont think i am going to hold it open on that long back straight--i was hitting over 120mph with out the s.c and i am sure now this would be a 140+ spot for me. i really dont want that plus having to brake down to about 70 in a short distance adds to it.
try to get some video.

I really don't mean to sound like a dick but....well....here we go....

then what was the point?

Rotr8

iTrader: (2)

The important part of Denny's statment happens to the part you left out,,, the braking zone is why Denny is siding with caution,,,

iTrader: (1)

sounds like turn 1, 5(downhill no less), and Canada at Road America. i still fail to see the big deal.

Rotr8

iTrader: (2)

I dont see why your really worried about it,,,

mac11

iTrader: (1)

All I did was ask what was the point of doing all the work to ad all the power and not use it. Not sure what else you are reading into it?

Rotr8

iTrader: (2)

not everything is about seeing what your top speed is, thats all,,,

hehe I'm sure one or 2 140+ runs would be OK, then back off and preserve brakes etc....

But 1 or 2 for research is justified, hehe 8)

Mind you driver = decider!
