just going to throw this out there, but of the 3 school campuses i work at, the middle school has a huge *** parking lot, tons of space, so if anyone saw smoke, obviously it will be from our cars.. if they were to call the FD, they're like down the street, so false alarm wouldnt really matter... we're just trying to clean out our engines lol.
the address is 3800 Blackford Ave, San Jose, CA.
on the weekends, nothing really goes on except some volleyball in the gym.. which i work until 3:30 on the weekends, so i could tell my co worker whats goin on...
OR, come on Christmas Day OR New Years Day.
I work both of those days from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and its just going to be me working that whole day, and with that being a holiday, I know the lot will be empty.. Dont know if i'll get in trouble or not, but no harm in just cleaning, haha. maybe i should invite my boss, hes got a sick corvette.
again, just throwing it out there, seems safer than a driveway. unless its like a legit spot.. lemme know

if you took a 3 level parking structure worth of parking spaces and laid it all down flat in a giant rectangle area, then you have my school's parking lot.. theres cameras at the school, so i dunno if my boss is going to keep an eye out or not. But I'll be over there today, I'll check out where the cameras are pointed to find a blind spot, just in case :p

welllllll, its not really trespassing.. of course its a private school and what not, but the thing about that campus is that its half the school's property and half of the city's, as they dont want to sell us the school.. plus im authorizing it :p whatever, i'd rather not do it while i work anyways, less to worry about..
I'll be free after 3:30 pm on sunday

Tony says, RX8s are GREAT
possible low compression. gettin about 12 mpg constant, 12city/15hwy. no, its not my lead foot, because i did follow my friend in a blazer for about 50 miles or so, san jose to hollister, it went down to about 3/4 tank, and we were going about 60-65 mph. i may have lost power too, but people agree, how would i know? since im a new owner, first one i ever drove, i may not know i have lost power... especially since my last car was an 01 sebring convertible, of course this car with less power than what it should have is better than my old car lol. but i already changed my sparks, plugs, coils.. didnt do the trick. so im onto new things now. got the car at 82k, now its at 84k. it was sitting in a tow yard for almost a year, if that makes a difference to any of the engine components.. and i fill it up with premium gas every time, no premix though.
its an awesome car, so i really want to get this taken care of asap

dude my MAF sensor was GONE. it blew up. I'm not even joking.
of course im joking, i cant believe i didnt clean that before, it was so easy, and it was pretty dirty.. started the car up, thing feels a LOT smoother than before, before it felt a little rough with the gears, not too terrible, but noticeable. Now its better.. i'd have to do a few fill ups to se if its any different. i still want the seafoam though
if needed, we could definitely knock out some cars in my driveway too, i forgot. i have a long driveway, if anyone saw smoke, the neighbors next door would come out and look, and they're cool, they got a vette. and the 2 other neighbors have 2 story houses, they can just spy us out or something, i dont care
happy holidays!

and i dont remember if i already said this about the MAF experience, but my car feels smoother, not rough, more responsive.. but i dont know if my car was ever meant to do this, but i try to floor it all the way to see if the tires would spin at all, and its a no go.. even in the rain and everything. so, idk if my auto 4 speed was ever able to spin the wheels in the first place.. can someone elaborate?

If your desperate to do a burn out, step on the brake and then floor the gas ONLY IN THE RAIN, you probably might not be able to spin them on dry pavement.
BUT... whatever you do, DO NOT DO ANY NEUTRAL DROPS...lol
I'm glad it feels better and if your plannin to drop 5 bills do it on the BHR coil kit.

and a maintenance guy here at work told me about that, and i've tried it in the rain, but it would only compress up to around 2-3k rpm, idk if im doing it wrong, cuz i never did it before, but it dont work.
and i only did a neutral drop once in my old car, and told my dad about it, and he told me thats bad for the timing belt, so i cant mess that up lol.
and i dont have the TCS option
