A few days ago I was coming home. I was at a red light when this dude comes flying on the turn lane in front of me slides out and hits the island and ends up facing my driver side door. I dont know if he was trying to make the light or thought he might show off lol but this is the 8. He just got it. Has the dmv tag on it so its not registered yet.
It has tint. Black seat covers with white or silver flames on them and the guy had the "oh **** face!" on
Anyway I see this 8 a lot now. Hope he learns how to drive

maybe soon you will see him crashed into a pole heheha jk
i'm kind worried with my tranny, it still scratching but now it's also scratching when i shift into second gear but only on high rpms i don't know if that means that it's not something so serious or not, might be looking into that in a couple weeks

No one on here can get in touch with scott. Plus this item is used and no longer made. This item was purchased used from a member on this site. Any issues with it or installation will have to turn to a local that has this installed on his 8.
I think what I'm trying to say is fmmieres did not pay scott but a privat seller.

You might as well install the coils as the stock coils could be part of your problem. If they have been on another car for a while, you may want to check into new wires - can't say until I see (and test) them.
Cooling aids for the summer:
1. BHR radiator is my 1st choice as it helped me the most. If you don't want a BHR avoid the Koyo as it is not very good.
2. Mazmart water pump and thermostat. Both of these are good to keep your water flowing and cool while moving or during short stops.
3. Get a Cobb AP, a good tune and have your fans programed to come on earlier. There used to be a little switch that you could buy to make your fans come on earlier but I haven't seen it lately. I recommend the Cobb because it also adjusts your tune to keep your car a little cooler.
4. If you already have not done it, raise the rear of your hood. Sounds dumb but it works.
5. Thermo wrap your A/C bypass "hose". It tends to radiate excessive amounts of heat into the engine bay and wrapping it will make your A/C work better.
6. Avoid large quantities of "anti freeze" in your cooling system. Just plain distilled water with a small amount of "anti freeze" seems to keep my car cooler.

You have a point but a lot of Nevada 8s do get very hot in the summer.........The items I mentioned are to be implemented according to your heating problem.......................The radiator is undersized and usually just that change is all you need....BUT.........................

If you have a house of a house to goto and work on your car. Doing a brake job is not hard at all. Just put your back into it and check out the great DIY on this site.
Not defend just saying cant condone a item for the because of the creator.

Are you changing rotors? or just the pads? Be sure and bring a small bottle of break fluid but there is a AutoParts close by.

Phil, you know more than you put on......breaks are not that hard. I enjoy having you over any time. Maybe we'll have time to attack some items on you car. Work on Chun and see if we can't get his guy over to the house to listen to trannies..............
Hell it's fun getting together to work on something. It's not that you can/can't do it yourself but the meet that makes it enjoyable.

LOL... I thought people were changing rotors in the compression chamber. Hell changing brake rotors is pretty damn simple. Phil, let me know when you guys do this... if you need extra hands I can help if I am available.

As always you are welcome.....see if your tranny guy wants to come by and maybe we can look at that to. Let's plan for Saturday the 15th at 10am. This weekend I'm on one of my little trips but no travel plans next week.

pizza!!
ok.. cauz i have to ask my boss to change my schedule
i just installed my new coils, wires etc..
and the car is just awesome!!!
the car is running about 8 degrees hotter than was before
i'm not sure what kind of temperature the intake should be but i guess mine is just too hot sometimes
for sure i will need some mods for the summer or i will be walking
phil how much loss i could have if my engine mounts are cracked or bad
cauz couple weeks ago my car started to make some noises i though it was coming from the belts/pulleys but i've been reading that it could be the engine mounts and sometimes in low rpm my car kind shake and almost die
maybe that's the problem
i will keep looking in the blog to see what i can find so on the 15th i would know better what could be the problem

Yes on the heat. Mine got so bad that I considered parking it in the summer but is much better now. We can do some easy mods to help a little and see how that works. I still think that a new radiator is almost a must but there are peeps in Vegas who don't have anything but stock and seem to get by. Heat is the rotaries biggest enemy.
