I think I already mentioned this, but Mike and I are going to be coming down Thur morning. We are hoping to arrive sometime in the afternoon. But we are happy to help where it is needed.

Btw, did we get a preview of the shirts yet this year?

I just found out one of the attendee just bought a 20B Cosmo in MINT condition.. I'm hoping he will bring that instead of his FD or RX-8...

Turbo II 03-18-2008 03:16 PM

Scratching brain trying to recall those who have an FD and an FE....

I know who it is!!!!!
As for getting it to the gap, he needs an enclosed trailer (24/28ft) and a truck that can pull it. I can't wait to see it..... I might even drive down to his house just to see it

sweet cosmo! whose ever it is better bring it!

IF you were not running an OMP you would step up to 1oz/gal. Dumping it in prior to fillup helps the gas mix with the premix easier.

Most of my car's life was not premixed, but since I have had it the premix has helped it start and idle slightly better. I do it to raise compression because it is low...owners of newer/lower mile vehicles can do it to prevent compression loss in the first place.

I know I am late into reading this... But is it safe to do this? May be a stupid question since some are doing this for good. But I am always scared of screwing my 8 up, which the main reason why I don't touch anything under the hood besides regular maintenance. Are there any cons?

I don't have an idle problem and mine has 55k (04) on it. But Mike's has 52k (04) and has rough idle. The difference between his and mine is that mine was created in (GT)Jan of 04 and his is (T)Jun of 03. I have noticed some differences, his is much stiffer in the gears and steering. Mine is flexible but catches the shifts faster. Both are manual.

Does anyone have any insights on this? This has been on my mind. I am still waiting for my baby to come home. I had my VR put through a cosmetic refresh. Just had the VR completely repainted, new head lights and windshield. I had a gravel truck mess it up pretty bad. :9898:

Kevin,
If I remember right he said the car was 18' long. I personally would use a 24' for piece of mind but a 20' might work although tight! And with that car being mint....... well I would use the 24'
But anyhow he only has a F150 with no brake box / tow package so again I would not tow an enclosed 20ft - 24ft trailer with that truck that far.


He is looking at his options to getting it to the gap like Phil said. Lets hope we see it.

Herblenny 03-19-2008 08:13 AM

J2R, I been pre mixing my 8 for about a week now.. So far, no issues. Many people have been doing it and shouldn't be an issue.

Chad, So,... You don't have your enclosed trailer any more?? I told him to call you because I thought you had one.

I hope "he" brings it to the Gap. I know he said he wants to only show but no one will appreciate his car more than bunch of rotary guys.. And there wouldn't be as many rotary guys at one place like DGRR...

WE3RX7 03-19-2008 11:45 AM

I've yet to see one in person so I hope it does show up!

Is it registered and all for the states already? Will he sell? lol...

djmtsu 03-19-2008 11:53 AM

If that is the same one I saw for sale a few weeks ago, then it should be 100% legal already. All he has to do is register it and drive it to DGRR!!!

Hey I am sorry, I wasn't trying to offend anyone.

Nope sold it for $5200 a few months back. Only 200 miles on it and cost 6k.





As for his car, I don't blame him wanting to trailer it and have a nice place to park it in case of a rain storm. Heck, if I bring my FD it will be on a trailer so I can keep the miles down. Don't see too many FD's with under 40k.
His car is registered and tagged. Is it for sale....... only if you offer about 30-40K more than he paid for it. Other than that I would say he's gonna keep it.

IH8DSM 03-19-2008 10:51 PM

woot just registered me and matt

85rx-7gsl-se 03-19-2008 10:53 PM

IH8DSM 03-19-2008 11:04 PM

85rx-7gsl-se 03-19-2008 11:05 PM

Why do ya call it the death trap? I think mine is more dangerous that the SA :)

IH8DSM 03-19-2008 11:07 PM

85rx-7gsl-se 03-19-2008 11:36 PM

bbade 03-19-2008 11:58 PM

I wish I could take a week off from school to drive down...

hopefully in two years

Proxy One 03-20-2008 07:20 PM

I will more than likely be towing my car up there cause I dont know if I should trust my 7 enough to drive it all the way there and beat the hell out of it then hope it makes it all the way back.

banzaitoyota 03-20-2008 07:25 PM

Trailer has new shackles installed and freshly packed bearings

Turbo II 03-20-2008 07:28 PM

I somehow put 1200 miles round trip on the Turbo in 2006 and then again in 2007. 2006 had extra miles from the Skyway run we did on Sunday. Last year the difference was made up on the Dragon. I abused it.

djmtsu 03-20-2008 08:49 PM

I got us another one I think...

http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=740726

Turbo II 03-20-2008 08:52 PM

85rx-7gsl-se 03-20-2008 08:57 PM

Nice, I had to repost a link in the Cabin1016 thread since they deleted Seth's post.

blwnrtr93 03-21-2008 04:34 AM

No, when we first got it there were alot more reasons it was called that.
Now it just leaks water.
