I like that wheel! Too bad they used a generic pic, looks scammy imo. 200 bucks though, if it is on the up and up is a good deal.

#2 someone else found them but go for it. possibly 8 inches wide

Thanks. I ended up just buying brand new wheels this morning. I found a website that's running a super sale on XXR wheels. I was able to buy XXR 552 17x8 wheels for $98 each! Couldn't pass up that awesome price.

Maybe hit up Marlon to co-drive Spicy and have you sign a wavier you won't blow up his PS pump? No offense, but I'm not really looking for a co-driver. I don't like to share.

They are most likely 17x7

Lol, just thought I would offer since you said slaloms killed you. I just want my car to run right even if it is a little slower. On the highway last Sunday my car was almost able to keep up with A.J.'s MS3 from a pull. Probably has too much power for the old girl to handle.

soooo are the rx-8's for sale?

Was there a photographer at the LCC sunday? Any pictures of us on the course?

 

[Perro del Sol]

Evan if my car is acting up still I'll co-drive with you in the MS6 if you want. The 9-10 psi of boost might be a wee too much for the 230k motor. Runs fine up to 7psi as it was when it was stock, but when it hit WOTat 9-10 it sputters a little bit, but can barely feel/hear it. No reason to risk the motor when it isn't tuned for it and I don't have money to get it tuned. Probably just going to just swap the oem wg back on and see how she runs then. I might have to take off the ssafc too if my afr is still all over the place as well

Do you have a boost controller? sounds like you are experiencing fuel cut.......

My good friend has a bend in one of his stock genpu MS3 wheels and he needs to get it fixed. He needs his car every day, so he's been looking for another set of wheels to use while the stocker gets fixed. So he's going to buy my RX8 wheels. If that falls through, I can let you know if you want.

 

[pmartz16]

I was just wondering. I can't get more, I sold my set to V lol

No boost controller. Just a aftermarket wg that has a 9psi spring. My afr's are barried at 10 so I'm assuming it isn't fuel cut unless it is unloading too much fuel and pulsing because of too much flow? I really want to get it tuned, but it is bad timing right now. Overall the car runs great and pulls really hard in 2nd which is perfect for autoX.

 

[Perro del Sol]

AJ! Where are the MSF'ers from MI? Don't they want to come and play with us in Toledo or are they afraid to hang with us?

 

[pmartz16]

+1

Its the same weekend as midwest nator meet. Theyre doing a dyno day, a 1/4 mile day, and a track day at Gingerman in Michigan that weekend.

When was the last time you did any sort of ignition replacement?

 

[rally2003]

I did spark plugs last week.

 

[princess peach]

what about the wires?

 

[rally2003]

what about the wires?

Usually a wire doesn't go bad unless the boot is torn or there is a bad connection. I wentt raise my car up so I could uae the 255's on the front and the damn spring perch won't move. I tried spraying it down with wd40 and heated it up with the strut out and still nothing. The qhole threaded part is stuck to the perch. Just nice. So instead I switch to my 600lb springs. It will be a tight fit but worked last time.

 

[princess peach]

I knew my wires were gone when it stared sputtering, they looked fine when I replaced them. They were only an issue in the high rpms

This. That was my issue on the MSM. Remember the EKG dyno? Wires the whole time.

A question. Would it be a good idea for me to use stock (16") P5 wheels with nearly trashed potenza tires on the back and yoko parada 17" on the front? Would this set up help a little with rotation? The car pushed like a mofo at the LCC auto cross.
