Remember mine was at 14psi so do a fair test before cranking up the boost.
and
maybe add 1 overlay for a certain renesis also :smilielol5:

I'll fix your wiper switches assuming you find me a switch that is rebuildable.

Thanks for the kind words, we've definately got to catch up some more next year, we did not have enough time, especially if/when you've got your beast in attendance. I've got to make sure I'm down there 2 days early too. I didn't spend nearly enough time hanging out and bullshitting outside the show, and spent too much time fixing cars, my own included.... silly wheel bearings :rofl:

Hey, at least you did them at the dinner table so you could BS with us AND do your wheel bearings :rofl:

BTW, did you see the spot on the table where the varnish got stripped off Sunday morning? :rofl:

Thanks to you I now can't get those brakes off my mind

1) CLEAN!!!!!! Compound front bumper and get rid of the impregnated bugs, cut and buff the hood, clear out the empty RedBull Cans

2) 6-spd!! Yes, it's done and ready to be installed so I can hunt down and kill the vibration

3) Belly Pan

4) New Rad Shroud

5) Brake Ducting

6) Little more fab left on the Bumper support

7) Re-Adjust the hatch latch :banghead: First trip off the highway heading to DGRRXI and the trunk popped open :rofl:

8) New Hatch Cable

9) Fix Fuel Gauge

10) Cupholders - shut up all!

11) Remote Start needs to be programmed

12) Properly Working Windshield wipers

13) Nozzles in the cowl

14) New SS Clutch Hardline

15) Vacuum Block

16) Touch myself

17) Wire up the Highbeams.... oops

18) New Door panels

19) New shift, ebrake, and center console boots

20) New Brake pads in the front

21) Fire Extinguisher

All in all though, I got just about everything accomplished for DGRRXI that I wanted.... but I gauruntee that there will be another laundry list in 7 months.... After all that's done, I'm going to redo the intake piping to match the BNR's inducer better. I think there's a few ponies to be had there :suspect:

So, you will be done before midnight tonight? LOL!

How are you doing man? I might have to pull a copy cat, and mimic your front bumper support :cheers2::biggthumpup:

What are your plans for door panels?

Those things are AWESOME! Did you see the size of the rotors! Were you out there when we were taking them apart? i know AJ came out in disbelief just to make sure that I actually brought a rotary :lol:

I've still got some tweaking to do with them though. Ordered some new wheel studs and spacers today, decided that they look better with that extra 5mm of clearance. What I need to do is start messing around with different compounds though, the Wilwood pads that are on there kinda blow and they dust like a MOTHER, need a little less bite and a lot less dust. I've got so much clamping power and so much leverage that I want to go with a less agressive pad and shift more of the bias towards the rear. I'm still cranking down on the Prop valve and I have yet to lock up the rears... kinda discouraging considering they are a 12.2" x.81" rotor out back.... yes, that is larger than most rotaries FRONT brakes and larger still than some rotaries UPGRADED FRONT brakes.... I am brake king, hear me...... squeel?

I would be if I wasn't working 12+ hrs a day... tomorrow is my first day off since I got back, and my last for another week.... and I'll be prepping a boat for the season, then working on the Landi, I GOTTA get that thing done. I did get a few parts orders in today though so that's a plus. I'm slated for Daves on Wednesday, we'll see what happens though....

I'm doing well, how bout you? Saw your ride in PA, what's the deal with that? Good luck man, it's a PITA to fab and plan to take the bumper on and off a dozen times. Worth it though. Getting the ends bent to fit will be kinda a bitch though..... BTW, I'm ordering plans for a tubing bender :reddevil:

Nothing big, as they stand right now I've got the stock tops that I died black, my fibergalss bottoms, and in the center is a black material that I've never been thrilled about. A few months ago I had a burn hole repaired in the drivers seat and I had to purchase an entire yard of the grey recaro material to fix it. I've got a LOT left over so i'm going to recover the center section in that. Then my upholsterer is going to get the scraps and build me some new shift boots, ebrake boots, and a heftily padded armrest cover out of the remaining material and some Mercedes black leather. So the black leather and the grey recaro material that is in the seats will ALL match PERFECTLY! Right now they're a little light for my taste. The boots/covers that I have now will live in the 'vert as that car has a grey interior and the same RX8 seats... or it will anyway... and they'll match that interior alot better.

project86 05-11-2011 09:39 PM

^^ oh ok. sounds like a good idea.. im gonna be reconsidering some interior options for mine as well when i start putting it all back in.

I went out there briefly... I do blend in with the darkness a little easier than AJ :lol:
I said something but everyone was zoned out tired around your car and paid me no attention so I went back on inside :suspect:

If you ride the red tide, you wash up on shore.


in other words, do it in the shower.
