how did you do against the spec's
I am still breaking in the car. Plus the last thing I need is a street racing charge when my insurance is $4k/year.
And a WRX did some crazy maneuvers through traffic on the 401 to pull up alongside me today. Took a good long look at my car. I gave him a nod of approval in return.

Grimace, I'm soo happy for ya dude! I really was hoping you'd get yours soon
Anywho....9 times out of 10, the recommended settings suck. Play with it a bit.....if you can stop driving it long enough
Thanks Newf!
Yeah, I find the recommended settings don't have enough punch in the upper registers. But I haven't even tried putting a CD in yet; just having way too much fun driving!

I'll play around with it later.

Grimace, I have the A/C switch issue on my car. The dealer currently knows no fix for it. They have replaced the alarm system once now and that has solved a few electrical related issues.
Phew, I thought I was going crazy. Funny you mention the alarm - another strange thing that happens is when I lock the doors while the car is moving, and the hazard lights blink once.... strange stuff. I'll mention it to the dealer at my first oil change. I also have to get them to check the foglight indicator (doesn't come on when the fogs are on - or is there even an indicator at the switch or dashboard??

) and the air intake pipe (the short 90 pipe off the air cleaner box) just plain fell off today. Should there be a clamp holding it on? I put it back in place but its not too tight and I'm afraid it will get lost. Ah well, we'll work out the bugs.

Congratulations Grimace! I know from seeing you here and on the RX-8 forum that you have been waiting a long time. Enjoy! Hope the break-in period doesn't drive you too nuts...
It is like trying not to scratch an itch.
Alas, I haven't been able to visit the RX-8 forum much. Work and home life have been verrrry busy.
