don't move up in grade, 5w20 or 5w30 should be fine.

So Stephs car is now has intake, headers, and exhaust.
And I have a cut on each hand and an elbow gouge. But I think the acetone bath and duct tape wrap will prevent a hospital trip.
But that little car has a growl now!!! At least it is a little more manly for me to drive

Keep in mind we have oil injection. the oil injection is designed for a specific weight. if you thicken it up the oil injection will not be injecting the correct amount of oil anymore.
no honestly, the difference between 5-30 and 10-30 is likley not enough to make a problem, but still... I see no need.
Hope that helps.
Jake, Steph, Thats awsome! Its always fun to get new toys.
as for the girly car thing. I have the guys at work here that remind me just how girly the miata is everyday. well one of my co workers came to the practice on Sunday and Keith and I took him for a ride..... I dont think he thinks my miata is girly anymore.
Cesar made a good comment when he was at the track with us on Sunday. The Miata all decaled up on the track is kick ***, but its still a chick car in street trim. (I think he said "Gay" car)

So a Toyota engine takes VERY well to a couple mods.
That little thing picked up a lot more throttle response. According to the butt dyno, it added a little bit of power, but it kicks in the juice SO much quicker than before

I dont think you were drunk.
But you made it sound so easy to do, I thought I would just wait till I saw you again . . and have you show me how it is done
Yes, I am really that lazy when it comes to working on my car.
Yet we did headers, full exhaust and an intake on Stephs car yestarday.
Her car just became ricey, not visually ricey, but sound wise . . . . OMG that car sounds angry!!!

Well, it was bound to happen eventually
I'm selling my RX-8.
This really isn't the car for me, as much as I love driving the car it's not practical. Hell, it's not even very comfortable. My chiropracter has been trying to figure out why my back / neck are always messed up and when he saw me driving my 8, he pretty much yelled at me because of how I have to sit in it. My seat is reclined far too much and then I'm sort of hunched forward a bit so as to not hit my head on the roof.
I guess I'm just tired of trying to convince myself that this really is the car for me.
I hardly drive it anymore, I actually prefer driving my Explorer just because the 'comfort' factor is so much greater! (god, I never thought I'd say that)
I loved the car for what it was, I was always adding mods to it to try and respark my interest in it but I've realized it's all in vain.
I spent most of the weekend car shopping and last night and I ordered my new car. I've decided a little German Engineering is in order. Jedi's new car
haha, suckers!

keith, did you ever sell your car?
i thought i saw you on the 57N a couple of weeks ago. but i'm not sure that was you as you were several cars behind me and couldn't get a good look at the black 8 w/the MS kit.

Actually Jedi . . .Tell you chiro that you are aiming for a seriously bent spine by the age of 60. Leaning over that far in your old age will actually help with the aerodynamics, making it easier to move forward with your weakened muscles
