Thanks! hopefully I'd make it to the next one =/

Rob, I still got your cat converter in my garage, let me know if you need it anytime soon. I'll have my brother drop it off. Thanks for letting me use it!

Oh no, he still has his coilovers.

It's just that we aren't coldhearted bastards who'd be willing to strip the parts off of a friend's car just because he happens to be overseas serving the Air Force. (hint, it was a joke)

If you need coilovers I'd suggest going to Rishi or Paul @ Rotorsport and picking up a set of new ones at a fair price. that way you don't get shitty used parts just to pinch a couple of pennies and end up with a snapped shock.

So I got my LC7 back from RMA with a clean bill of health.

Who wants it? I'll part with it for 125.

oh, when i see part out and coilovers, i automatically jump on it now the way the forums are going. i got some great news though, driveline is providing me with some hks hipermax rs for around 1200. not bad at all for some great coilovers. if anyone wants whats left of my mazdaspeed coilovers (fronts are still good, rear is only good for parts), let me know

Yeah, I have a 8 as well as a 10th Anniversary Edition (10thAE) 88 RX-7 Turbo.

The four FC's is probably Nader (Funkspectrum on the boards). He usually hangs out at Aroma's in Railroad square.

Question Meets for Friday

T-Rex wow Sac... I cruise up to Elk Grove often to visit family.
I have not been to a meet yet but will be shortly.
I am in the Concord area.


QUESTION FOR ALL YOU BAY AREA GUYS.
I have read way too many posts on here about oil being used.
What oil do you use and is it synth. or not.
too much info on here about it.

I use 5w30 conventional since that's the oil mazda recommends for the 8 in every other country then the US. I also have the Mazdamaniac Cobb Access Port that increases the OMP flow rate... it does a ton of other things as well but the increased oil flow is one of them.

We were just coming from tiny tots That guy in the silverado was about to ram you, bastard. I was gonna speed up and catch up to you but I had the family with me-I get yelled at if I do that stuff.


Alterego, dude I hear you on the oil. Ultimately I made the decision to stay on the synthetic side of things. I chose Idemitsu, it's a synthetic blend specifically formulated for rotaries that also burns clean. I'm now also using Premix-1/2 oz per gallon of gas.


You can get both, premix and oil from Paul at Rotorsport in Santa Clara Rotorsport2.com

Next up is an upgraded ignition system-Coils, cables, spark plugs-to get an effective burn and keep the ports clean.

Or if the silverado hit you, i would have been the proud owner of the Avic.

Damn you Rob, im not going to let you bidsnipe me!

While in warranty, i'll sick with dino oil, but im about to switch to Royal Purple. To each their own really. You can go either way, just make sure you do it reguarlly and check the oil levels between fill ups.
