I'm thinking this was a small meet....

6 RX-8's

Krazie what was the big suprise?

FastRX8

Actually, I think your problem was a weak battery combined with a weak starter.
Many 8's have had their starter/spark plug/battery replaced.
Here's the Service Bulletin on that.
http://www.finishlineperformance.com...4-05-1448e.pdf

If your car doesn't start this time, it's because of the battery.
The battery that comes with the car is not that great, and once you drain it, it will continue to give you problems.
I would take Detrich's suggestion. Have your friend start the car and let it idle for about 20mins twice a week.

BTW - There is a charger called a Trickle Charger. They use them for RVs/ATVs/boats or anything that will be parked for an extended time.
They cost about $20. You can connect it to your battery and it will keep it at 12v.
I know a couple of people that use these all the time, and we resently started using one for my dad's porsche.

that might be a little much, I have let my car site with and without the new battery for well over a week with no problems. I think once a week or once every 2 weeks will be fine.

to be honest with a new battery once every three or four weeks should be fine, but I saw 2 just for the fun of it.

Both of our 8's started up just fine when we returned from our 3 weeks in China last summer. You shouldn't have a problem.....

Jessie, that tatoo is sick...made me sick to my stomache. Good work though.

was planning on taking a whole bunch of photos, but all 10 of my batteries were dead. I recharged them weeks ago, but I guess the sun drained them all.

Did get a chance to take some pics of Michael's mod.

Detrich

holy crap! nice lambo doors mike... that looks expensive tho. how much did that run, if u don't mind me asking?

SWEET looking doors Michael! Do both your RX-8's have them???

ZooTender

Thanks KK for the offer but I think after reading peoples comments I'll just have my friend turn the car on and let it run for a bit.

2 8's Michael? Nice looking doors.

Vipers I'm looking foward to seeing your rims on your car. I think it's going to look awesome.

Detrich, glad to hear you got your car fixed. Sure hope that doesn't happen to mine on any of the runs. I don't remember running over anything that cruz that would have chipped paint.

KrazieKave

hehe, that works too.

nice doors michael

speedemon, i have no surprise

speeddemon32

......... you are not that smooth Kevin. we all know better. besides your dad already spilled a little. I just have not gotten it all. :D

PM me if you feel like spilling more.

KrazieKave

bah, i prefer to not speak of it online...

casey, can you get in touch with my dad, i think he wants to finish up the signs. thanks

speeddemon32

yeah I'll give him a call. I feel bad, I just simply have not had the time to do it. wedding is getting close, tieing up loose ends. things are getting a little more crazy. lots to do.

anyways, yeah I'll call him.



so what should we do for the next meet? it is the saturday after the wedding, so I think we will have to change the date. weekend before would be almost impossible, weekend after would be hard but I think posible (leaving for Hawii that monday).

FastRX8

Lot of responses there huh!?
I'm up for anything. Looks like the best option is the 3rd week. I may not be able to make it on the 3rd week because I hope to do a autox practice day.
If we get enough people at the practice day, we can do a bbq/autox party in the parking lot. That would be a good switch from the regular runs.

speeddemon32

that does sound like a good idea. a big tail gating bbq meet. sounds like fun. we have never done that. would be nice to do something differant. I dont want to bore everyone with the same ol drive everytime..... anyone?

Buler..... Buler....... Buler

Here's an idea....the LAST Malibu run will be August 5th. Erica and I will be driving seperately to this one....as it is the last time we will be going out that way. It is definately something yuou should do once...whether it be driving, or as passenger. Great group, great run, great scenery, and great spot for lunch. Oh, did I mention it is great....

check into the thread if your interested.....last chance. No joke....

speeddemon32

I think it would be fun for ALL of us San Berdo guys to go.

we can make the AUG meet a malibu meet. (all meet out here someplace and caravan out there)

sound like a good idea???

I know this makes me sound like a hipocrit (spelling) but I would of course have to make sure we are not doing anything that weekend. getting close to the wekking and we are getting rather busy tiing up loose ends. I would assume it will be pretty nuts by then.... but then again maybe we will be all done by then to. ??? none the less I think it would be a fun meet and a fun last time Malibu meet with a lot of cars.

Speed/Lesper..received our mods today. We were one short, so I emailed the guy. This only affected Lesper and I, speed, you are ready to go.

speeddemon32

kwescott

speeddemon32

:/

speeddemon32

sorry to post this here guys, Kevin I do not have your E-mail.

here you go.

while we are at it I guess we can doa group vote for best font. brown backround with white letters would be more like the real color.

vipers

the 3rd one looks the best.....

KrazieKave
