NEMOC Random BS Thread

Speaking of seeing 8's, Mary parked next to a stock VR at CVS. The owner was coming back to it as she got out of her car and she said, "Nice 8." He looked at her and had no clue. She then said, "My husband has the same color RX-8". He said, "Yea, I like it." She asked, "Do any mods to it?" He responded with a, "Huh?" Yea...not very welcoming I guess. Oh well.
 
...it looks like someone smeared mud on his doors and then keyed in the accents.

I wonder if it's really turbo'd or if he just put on the badge to be cool.

not sure... but judging by the portholes on the side, he has the world's first v6 RX-8

That was my first thought as well. So with portholes and turbo badge he has the only boosted v6 RX-8.....that I know of anyway. That is just sad, honestly....... Josh you should have set the car on fire right then and there....she would have thanked you for it.



Morning everybody! It is a gorgeous day.
 
Speaking of RX-8 and kits. Someone needs to shoot this guy. Anyone see this in CT?

okay so heres the deal. i installed my oil sender unit directly from autometer about 4 months ago. decided to hook it up tonight from the autometers wiring diagram. hooked up the sender to the gauge, battery to the power, and had a solid ground. the damn thing just maxes out. i dont have a toolt o check to see if theres voltage going to the sender to see if its the wire or something but i dont see how it could any wire because its brand new wires. hmmm....

i may have to wait and let one of you guys hook this thing up for me. i hate electrical. HATE.

aaaaaand i just wasted more money. bought a twm short shifter and shift knob.

http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123769590

got both for 200. shift knob is 120 with the finish and engrave, shifter is 200 plus shipping. got both 200 shipped....sweeeeet

dont any of you old folks stay up late anymore? ahhh catching up on sleep for tomorrow. you alcoholics! i feel ya. glug glug glug!

i love my engraved TWM shift knob. A lot nicer than the Voodoo knob on my MX-5 tranny, because the Voodoo knob was lighter than stock and didn't feel right.

slightly.

the miata needs new tires this year.. now's not the time to buy 'em though

I was just going to say $64 for direzzas? But then remembered you have the Miata.

I'm debating on whether to buy snow tires for the 3 by the 31st ($50 off a set of four from discount tire direct so I'd be out $350) or just wait until the beginning of next season.....
 
Ha I like the EVO MR-like wing things on the top of the rear window. I never remember what thats called.

I am really digging the wheels though! (yes i know they are stock)


Edit: I am not being sarcastic about the wheels though, if that was misunderstood. I have always though about trading mine for them. Or just picking some up.

yeah, tires are a lot cheaper on 15's.
 
For those that watched the races at Homestead, here's what happened to Racers Edge RX-8. Note the amount of heat those mufflers take. Insane!

Yikes! Where do you watch those races?

Also seems the fatigue point was right at the welds, seems like it maybe should be double wrapped. Though would be more weight..
