^I don't believe so, they're on a webpage viewable by anyone and everyone, so they better not be classified, haha. In either case, I'd be more screwed than you, haha.

Hey guys I'll be coming out for the first time next Saturday. I just bought a FD but I've had a FC for about a year now. What time do you usually head out there? Maybe someone can try and help me fix my boost issue Thanks

Welcome, we can sure take a look at the problem. Do you have a boost gauge? If so, what are the readings?

With Thursday and Friday off of work and absolutely beautiful weather (blue skies and low humidity), I just had to spend the time off giving my 8 some much deserved attention.
Day 1 (Thu) - Installed Corksport Exhaust

Day 2 (Fri) - Wash, Claybar, Wash, Zaino polish Round 1 - 2 coats, stash car in garage
Day 3 (Sat) - Rotate Tires (Cleaning and waxing each rim while off the vehidle), Wipe down, Zaino Polish round 2 - 3 coats

Day 4 (Sun) - TBD but all plans will include lots of Ibuprofin

I really like the sound it adds to the car ( a nice deep vroom sound when I get on the gas), plus the look it adds to it. Its so much more fitting to the RX-8, than the stock exhaust.

Ok... I've about had it with Queso.

I am pretty sure I have a blown coolant seal. I don't think the FC will make it to and from DGRR. We're going to look into ruling all other possibilities out for sure, and then start adding up expenses to get the FB ready. The FB has no engine/mechanical problems. It only needs maintenance on the suspension and steering. Otherwise we're going to drive the SRT-4, or not go to DGRR at all.

I'm so sick of fixing old crappy cars.

I have a 2 week job right now. I'm doing QC work for the time being. I get to work at a company that stores ridiculous amounts of ethanol. Ethanol FTW!

David and I talked last night, and we decided to work on the FB together, since this is his first DGRR... we'll make some memories driving OUR car that WE worked on together, rather than ME drive MY car. It's going to cost much less time and money to get the FB ROLLING right, than the FC to roll and run right.

Silver linings FTW.

Yeah I wanted to wait to put them on until I got my new carpet, they look so much better against a black background. Autovation was doing a GB, and I think they did another one over the holidays too, but if you don't have ~$70 to throw away on cosmetics I wouldn't do it. I wish I'd put the money into something else, I feel like such a SouthBronxJosh. I at least wish I'd waited to get pedals until I had all the performance stuff out of the way first. I do like them though. And they have different types too, you don't have to get the pedals with rotors on them, but I did cause, ya know, I'm never putting an LS1 in mine (no matter HOW much fuel mileage you get with so much power ) so I have no reason to NOT get rotor pedals, HAHAHA. No, the LS1 will go into a rolling chassis FD, haha.

Nice pedals Eric. I bought a set of "RX7" pedals a few years ago and they are well worth the money and so much better than the junk you can get off ebay or at Pep Boys. I haven't had any trouble with them coming loose and the traction you get is great. One of the best performance mods you can do for under a $100. Like the rotors, now you got a 4 rotor FD, 2 under the hood and 2 under the dash.
