Nice...but weight is everything...how much?

sounds yummy...maybe gilbert n i will have some buffalo wild wings later

and you couldn'tve done the oil change yourselves?

even I have to say..he's got a point...

^^ That first picture is nasty, but you're right.. Any case, I love that 2nd picture, 2 reasons why! 1.) I love blonde's!!! 2.) I love big *****!!

ЯX-8

I have personally never done an oil change on a RX-8, especially on someone elses car. I'll first try it out on my own car, before I try someone else's!

anet1737

gilbert's changed the oil on our 8 since almost day 1...
even i could do it
eh, its the same car anyway...

I cant find the weight on these wheels.

ЯX-8

Well, 2 things I don't mess with.. Oil changes and changing brake pads!

Oh, hell no!!!!

ЯX-8

Any pictures of them installed on a car already?

bran702

^ No why?

Just curious to see what they look like installed, rims always look different when they are installed..

thats someone's queue to photo chop!...lol

Let me tell you this fool doesn't play when it comes to waxing. He let's it sit to harden and then busts out with the buffer. It was some of the hardest work I've done to shine my car. Usually it's just wax on, wax off like the karate kid. But the results speak for themselves the car feels as smooth as butter.

Anet knows her **** ,weight is a factor...if you care about speed that is but if looks is your thing then those are some nice looking rims...as for the oil change I read the DIY and it's pretty simple (I've done it on other cars) but I don't have a garage anymore and I didn't want to put Armin through all that since he might not have the tools for it ie. the filter wrench and the disposal of the oil and messing up his driveway) I would've like to have done it at your (Gil/Annette) place for the first time just to see how it's done and not spill oil everywhere.

But the brakes I think I will have to have him try to do it since it doesn't seem as messy and it would be a good learning experience for both of us since I have never change out brakes myself.

I need to lower my car soon. Nestle Cookie store in Miracle Mile sux. PF Changs kinda sux as well.

Thank you good sir! I appreciate that, and no I don't play when it comes to waxing. It's not easy, but like you said yourself the results speaks for itself! It felt as smooth as butter, I would of liked to clay bar it first and then wax it! Next time.. BTW, did you ever find that Plast X and your money?

oil change is only hard on the VERY first oil change. the factory cranks on that oil filter as hard as they possibly can lol. but after that,its pretty simple. Just need 14mm (i think) socket, a oil pan, and ur hands. You don't need an oil filter wrench, just untwist with your hands.

brakes are pretty simple too, once u take off the wheel you can pretty much just look at it and figure out how to take out the pads. I used to do it with my dad on his older cars when i was younger. easy stuff.

hey phil, i may be interested in it! but before i commit to anything, what was the problem you guys were having when trying to get it put on the car. if it requires some fabrication work to my car to get it to fit then i'd have to turn the offer down. But if it will go on like a glove, and it will still let me pass emissions then i'd be willing to take it off your hands. pm me the details if you'd like.

ЯX-8

I spoke to Phil, today about the RP Super Cat and AJ wanted to know if any check engine light or cell light would turn on, and he said it shouldn't. He said, it never went on when it had it on his car, but he said it doesn't mean it wouldn't turn on once you put it on your car. But, once again he said it shouldn't.. When I tried installing the RP Super Cat on Anthony's car, the only problem was the flanges weren't the same design. So, you would have to take it to the exhaust shop and have them cut your stock flange and put it on the RP Super Cat, or they should have extra flanges around to just cut and install in the RP Super Cat. As far as passing emission, I don't think you would be able to, but I could be wrong.. Phil, will have to answer that one for you!

ivory8

ahhh, so it wouldn't necessarily fit...hmm nvm then. thx tho phil..

and thanks for the info armin

ЯX-8

^^ No problem

I would not trust the oil they put in your car
Winter 5W-20 and 5W-30 in Summer

Did not buy them yet but I got the moneys for them lol. Getting them off ebay for dirt cheep with a sick off set!
I'm picking them up. Make it a day trip to SoCal I'll be back that night. Thats how I roll beats waiting for shipping funk dat mon

I'm off Wed and will be doing mine if your off and want to wait I got all the good stuff too.

I say 23+ each

Yeah when it comes to weight factor take everything off your car and run 17"s with a sick off set.

I never use a filter wrench I use me hands and put the oil in a bucket then take it down to Autozone. I flush the oil everytime and keep up on it. It looks like gold. If anyone ever wants there oil changed just let me know

The brakes suck with out power tools ask me how I know.

Tanabe GF210 FTW! and yeah Miracle Mile and PF Changs is for the suck!

You should be ok with a Super C.A.T. its still a C.A.T.
