Thank you so much guys. this is an incredibly tuff time for my son. and as long as we all pray for him to be safe god will make sure he is..

Thank you guys.

 

ah man, im sorry to hear about that.
were all here to help, so if you need anything just ask one of us.
ill deffinatley keep him in my prayers.

 

So hows everyone enjoying this lovely weather??

 

i hate winter. so very, very much.

 

how is he doing?

 

This weather ******* blows. I don't mind snow, but I hate when it's -5 outside.

 

try -30 (-51 with windchill), CR got hit so bad its ridiculous
20 deg colder in CR yesterday than north or south pole- no joke.

 

E stop making stuff up.

 

LOL, all i know is that its cold! And im from 113-50s degree weather.. This sucks

 

E there is a thread in the lounge i update every couple days on his condition.

As far as the weather goes the cold blew dick pretty hard. The Audi didnt have any problems on the roads though so that was pretty good.

 

me too
this is the first time ive seen snow

 

Does anyone recommend any rotary shops around iowa? or nearest possible. Thinking on having my renesis dowel pinned. Also how hard is it to take apart and put back a engine? im quite patient but how complicated is it with all them seal springs and what not?

 

Never done a renesis but it cant be much harder than a "regular" rotary. Piece of cake.

 

lol decided to take motor out?

 

Yeah man, multiple reasons on why.
Gonna install new upgraded coils, water pump, radiator, shave bay, respray, check turbo mani, upgraded oil pan. And many more. Im gonna try to get a clutch and a flywheel so i can install them on too and not bother with them for a while. Also have to do injectors and i might do my e85 fuel system swap.
About that fuel system, anyone know a good fuel management? can't seem to find much info on the Rx8 club.

I really do hope to get it done before your meet Eric

Also... Ian you going to the Deals Gap meet in april? thought i saw your name on the list. ill be heading up with a few other guys hopefully.

 

I didnt sign up. It would be cool if I was able to go but as far as right now too many variables such as getting a job and then who knows what my schedule will be.

 

yeah ian go get a job. haha

I might know of a s5 n/a down here a kid is getting rid of the motor is blown but if i can remember right the body is straight and it has good tails.

where's deals gap at? I dont have a seven but i might be interested in going. Ill have to drive my audi but i shouldnt get hated on too much.

 

12 hrs away. lol boarder of TN and NC

 

so times for a meet?

I'm thinking late Feb or early march, it will still be cold but hopefully not so bad we cant at least go out and look under some hoods etc.

Do any of these weekends conflict with anyone?

2/21 - 2/22
2/28 - 3/1
3/7 - 3-8


to sweeten the deal:

I will provide all the food/drinks so no one need bring anything unless they are a vegetarian lol

(if Rob is able to make it down from Des Moines, there will be sanitary napkins provided as well)

 

3/7 and 8 i have guard....

 

LOL your quite ambitious.

unless the rx8 engines castings are alot weaker or your going to make ungodly power no need to dowel pin or rebuild your motor.

Look into a haltech for management

as for "E85 fuel swap" just make sure your fuel system can support 30 percent more fuel and that's all you need to do.......

 

Closer to spring would be best for me, but it all depends on getting car done.

Seen a few people crack theirs already, and is 500 godly? with 10.5 compression rotors? lol

I have a microtech, every other management system has some issue with the rx8 idk why.

And for e85, well you have to make sure your fuel pump, lines, and rails wont get eaten by the ethanol. right now gonna run 380, 1000 and 280 p2 i believe. So will see how the stock pump does

 

there will be 1-2 meets over spring summer as usual if you wanna show off your car, this is a bonus cold weather meet- well try to work in a cruise like last summer.

so now were down to:

2/21 - 2/22
2/28 - 3/1
3/7 - 3-8 OUT

lets hear some more feedback.....

 

I'm willing to bet it's due to preignition/knock and not power lvls.

Doing it not hard. Doing it reliably is.

If you have a microtech why are you asking for fuel management systems?

No reason a haltech can't work. The community follows trends... so if the first pioneers are in microtech the majority of ppl go with the tried/tested route.

Fuel rails will get eat'n? God for bid you get gas on your hands....

But if you plan on running e85 with a single turbo your stock pump will not flow enough.

 

2/21-2/22 works for me. In reality the 2nd weekend would be ok too, just depends on if I have a job lol.
