:crackup:
I'm going to a 21st b-day party tonight so I won't make it, and I'll probably be a little slow tomorrow morning. :beerchug:

We'll probably get there a little before 11:00 so we can figure out who is going when. We need the first car on the dyno by 11:00.

Anyone want to suggest a location to meet up tonight?

Southside? Richmond? In between?

An idea of times would be good too, if we can pull it off in the earlier hours of tonight, maybe we can drag Zach out too :)...

If you guys meet up somewhere around here (southside) I might stop by for a few minutes, but I promised the girlfriend that I would be with her tonight. It's worth it... oh yes it is :boink: :biggrin:

rgordon1979 01-10-03 02:06 PM

Pretty damn close. I think your the only one who was happy with the run!

I've posted the pictures on the RRR site. I don't have the graphs up yet because the disk they gave me is in WinPEP format, which I don't have obviously. I'll see if I can download a reader.

the guy said something about going to their site and you can download something. you might want to try that.

i was impressed, 107 to the rear wheels and 96.1 lbs of toruqe. doesnt sound like much, but for 141k miles and 18 year old 12a, i was happy. plus, the graph was SOOO smooth.

Holy shit! I want one!

I got pretty far on the RRR site today. I'm the only member so far. :D I think you'll like the layout for the car profiles.

Kai 01-12-03 03:50 PM

96hp @ 5500 RPM

Stuck 6 ports, f*ck that. Things will be different after this weekend though, I'm tearing down the intake manifold, un-sticking the ports, and probably pulling the AC at the same time... assuming it's not too cold outside. How shameful to be the weakest RX-7 of the day:(

88 vert 01-12-03 05:40 PM

looks good zach,xcellent job,i will have to get my car running so i can take some better pics so i can send them to ya.just looking at the pics im kicking myself in the ass for not calling in,but i have to save my call ins for the summer.

DavidR 01-13-03 07:10 AM

That RX-8 is bad ass. To bad Mazda didn't build them that way from the factory!!!!!

l33trx7 01-13-03 11:10 AM

well...im here....and the car is here.....and i think i killed a suspension bushing T_T. Stupid rough roads, i think it was going but the trip up finally killed it. Anyhoo anyone know where i can find one and get it installed.

Josepi 01-13-03 02:08 PM

No new T04 for me...

One starving GF? Check.

Did I have a good time? HELL NO. I think we took some of the biggest bitches I have ever seen in my ENTIRE LIFE there...

I want to block it out of my memory...i'm never going back either.

rgordon1979 01-13-03 02:13 PM

Question
 
Sounds like a good turnout at Rosen. I really wish I could have been there. I will be there next time..promise.

I have a few questions. The 5th and 6th ports on my 90 are stuck as well. I am going to tear it down in a few weeks and clean them up and put the pineapple sleeves in. My question is, in the process, what gaskets will i need to have? I know i will need the lower intake to block and lower intake to upper intake gasket. Beyond that I am at a loss. I guess I will need the egr and acv gasket since I am going to get the block off plate kit for this car as well. Can anyone think of anything else i will need? Thanks for the help.

Rob

Zach, O-rings are still not here for the injectors. They said today it would be in the next few days. I love Mazda dealerships.

rgordon1979 01-13-03 03:07 PM

Nix that EGR Blockoff plate...I was not thinking.

I wonder... when you say "biggest", are you reffering to their physical size or their attitude? :biggrin:

I'm trying to picture you sandwiched inbetween two fat chics gambling. bwahahaha

Zach - The website looks awesome! Once I get off my lazy ass and get another job I may have to buy an inexpensive RX-7 so I have a reason to hang out with the club. :biggrin:

l33trx7 01-13-03 11:21 PM

zach im pretty sure i sent you the registration form properly, if not then i can resend. Also were you driving a silver rx-7 that was parked on the street next to the engeneering builing and GRC. If so then it was you I saw.

It was their attitude...everything was just pure shit.

Zach, you have pics of my car, and it's basically stock...that'll make an easy entry for ya!

l33trx7 01-14-03 08:47 AM
