Not a good idea. The engine was on the threshold of a rebuild and the weekend right before I traded it, it died a couple times in traffic.

I just caught this and thought I would tell you guys & gals:

BREAKING NEWS


Cobb has announced that they are discontinuing ALL normally-aspirated applications for the AccessPORT.

This means the AccessPORTs for the RX-8 will cease to be available for new purchase by the END OF JULY, 2010.

If you intend to purchase the AccessPORT for the RX-8, you must do so by July 30th, 2010.
After that, there will be no new AccessPORTs for the RX-8 available.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. No one is more shocked (or adversely affected) by this decision than me, but they are quite firm in this decision.

They are discontinuing all of the following models:
Honda Civic Si (AP-HON-001), Mazda RX-8 (AP-MAZ-001), Infiniti G35 & G37/Nissan 350Z & 370Z (AP-NIS-001, AP-NIS-002, AP-NIS-003, and AP-NIS-004) and Subaru 2.5i (AP-SUB-005)

I will continue to support the RX-8 AccessPORT and provide calibration services for current and future RX-8 AccessPORT owners, but I will NOT be able to acquire new AccessPORT hardware after July, 2010.

Any current orders will be fulfilled (and will probably be shipped before the end of this week (July 9th, 2010), so if you have recently ordered an AccessPORT from me, you are still OK.

Please spread this news as you see fit.

For those of you that may be having a/c problems, see this:

AC NOT COOL (AFTER 9/11/03 PRODUCTION)
Applicable Models
Model Starting S/N Ending S/N
2004 RX8 40118171 ********

Some customers may complain of lack of AC cooling from the vents. This may be caused by the intake air selector (recirculate / fresh) in the "FRESH" mode. Cooling the interior of the vehicle may take longer if the air intake selector is in the "FRESH" mode. Maximum cooling is achieved when the intake air selector mode is in the "RECIRC" position. The AC amplifier can be programmed to automatically default to "RECIRC" mode when the following conditions are met:
1. Ambient air temperature is 68 deg. F or higher.
2. HVAC control mode is in "FACE" mode.
3. HVAC temperature is in maximum cool setting. Customers with this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the repair procedure. NOTE: Vehicles produced before 9/11/2003 are not programmable and should have the AC amp replaced per Service Bulletin # 07-002/04

1. Verify concern.
2. Verify ignition switch is in OFF position.
3. Press and hold the front defrost and air intake selector buttons simultaneously.
4. Turn the ignition key to the "ACC" position for 3 seconds. (Continue to hold the buttons down from step #3.)
5. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position for 3 seconds. (Continue to hold the buttons down from step #4.)
6. Successful programming will be confirmed by the rear defrost indicator light flashing 3 times. NOTE: If vehicle's battery dies or cables are removed, the programming will not be retained and must be performed again.

Catalan: Garage will be open next week.

We did not have a very good turnout at the meet on Friday......Jen, Ryan, Ned and myself waited until 8:45 and then went to TGI Friday and had drinks....Must have been too hot for the others.

no there were about 8 more of us. Perhaps we need to reconsider this montly meet thing or form a better system of communicaton, I personally didnt get out of work till 8 then had to rush home to bolt a hood on my car and rush down to the meet, mind you doing this with a temporary handicap as I caught my hand with a 4 1/2 grinder doing the below. You guys must have pulled out one driveway as we pulled in the other. It would not have been difficult for someone to text or call stating you guys were relocating, or even posting on the SCR forum

But I ask were are the Vegas 8 people ?? We were doing this in an attempt to bridge the gaps and bring the local rotary owners together once a month

There is always some combination of atleast a half dozen or so SCR members

We figured it was a bust since no one posted or contacted any of us about coming late or not making it. It is a usual activity for us to migrate to TGIF after the meet. I can't answer your question about where all of the Vegas 8's are.. I don't even have an 8 anymore but I still showed up.

In the past if someone was coming and going to be late they would text others to tell them. I would have assumed that it would be the case this time. As you know, the Vegas 8s are a limited bunch and most have eratic schedules for work. I received text messages or postings from most of the active (not belonging to SCR) telling me they could not make it....Several of the 8s members are also members of SCR.

Sorry you hurt your hand, but a quick "I'm on the way" would have solved the problem. I don't have a phone that allows me to use the internet (don't want one ether) so posting is not an option.....One of the SCR members that was with us stated that you were working very late.............we assumed that since you did not text that you were not coming. I find it a little strange that eight peeps would be an hour late but none would text of the fact.

Bitter? I am not bitter.....I'm used to the fact that members have busy lives.
