When are you doing the install? Maybe I can switch our cars at the last min and get a few free mods.

 

[Suspect987]

I'm not sure when I'll do them install. I leave for Billings, Montana for the month of November and quite possibly a few weeks into December. I have been waiting on my BPV, and install everything at one time. I picked up the AP earlier and the test pipe I'll pick up later in the week. My car is going to sit for a month or more so I'm in no hurry to put the mods on.

 

[solidtrance]

I can do the install for you.....I promise I wont put the stuff on the wrong black cherry MS6!

 

[Suspect987]

Installed the AP tonight before I left work. Just running the Economy mod this week before I fly out to Billings. Probably keep it low key until the roads and weather get better.

I know there used to be a better one, I'll see if I can dig it up. Was useful when I got my Buddy Clubs.

 

[solidtrance]

That is similar to the one I posted, but concentrates on offset.

Looking at wheels, Caleb?

 

[solidtrance]

Yes. I am thinking about getting some 17X9 RPF1's (light) with some 245 or 255 Starspecs. I will not put them on until the spring, but thats the plan.

 

[TheDoc]

Pretty cool, man. I really like the RPF1's.

School's finally winding down we'll have to start getting into tuning that thing.

 

[solidtrance]

I like the rpf1's cuz the are light and relatively cheap. I've done a ton of reading about the tuning process and I am starting to understand the maf and fuel trim part of the puzzle, but it seems the real tough part is the ignition. Seems like that is voodoo though. Everyone says that should be the last step, and most of the power gains is from getting the ignition split just right. I'm currently reading up on the injector scaling, flow, and latency. I should also be ready in a few weeks. But first I am off to CT for thanksgiving. Have a great holiday.

Awesome. Then swap the RX8 wheels to the MS6! Sell the MS6 stockers and you're done.(band2)

 

[solidtrance]

That swap is already done, and for now I have the MS6 wheels on the 8. I will keep them and use the as winter wheels. Great minds....

It's bad enough your wife had to jack the Sport version of my car now she has the wheels I just picked up for it on as well. Damnit!
