If I ever get the 8 cleaned up I was hoping to head down to the cars and coffee that F40 runs, I think its only like a half hour away. In other news I put the rims up for sale finally, hoping that I can get some decent change for them so that I can pick up something pretty for the spring.

On a mildly related note, Jenn what were the specs on the F14s you ordered and did they ever come in?

Have not come in yet. Do not order from them. Forgestar buys the rims from some other company, renames them and paints them. Oh, and marks up the price ridiculously. If these weren't the only wheels I found that I really like since owning the car, I'd have cancelled my order. It's been over 2 months since I ordered.

Sorry if I sound bitter... It's going to be a love/hate relationship when I finally get them.

If you really like them though, talk to Rishie on the 8 club. He basically introduced Forgestars to the RX-8s (I think). There's also a thread dedicated to it. James' connection refuses to do any further business with Forgestar after this.

Hope your rainbow wheels sell! :)
 
JOSH! why am i stuck on 17000????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

jenn, rishie...he was on here for ever! i bought my mint blue stuff from him
 
I'm not actually partial to the F14s but I'm trying to get an idea of what will fit on the 8 I don't really want to burn threw tires like I did with the rainbow wheels because of the camber

Got my free wheels and tires on the new winter beater yesterday. Now, to figure out this damn autotragic that keeps acting up.

so i just put my fogs back to stock, taking out that little "always on" mod so it wont be independent and stay on with the car off after the auto on headlight mod

and now if i turn off the car the headlights stay on like normal but the fogs will turn off with the key out. hmmmm. so im not sure what mod to keep. id love to make it so that the fogs turn on and off with the ignition rather than the headlights doing so, but im not sure how to wire that business just yet
 
Installed new spark plugs last night in the MS6. Intercooler came right off but I couldn't get the hose off the BPV so I removed the whole thing instead and left it hanging. Not sure how long the whole job took because I was interrupted several times. Car starts up smoother now but otherwise feels the same. I went 67K on the original plugs and they didn't look too bad when they came out. The gap was still within spec.
 
That's ok. There really is no significant improvement, and it eliminates the possibility of running 15" wheels.

or 14's...wait that's obvious. lol

Hello everyone...what a week. Been slammed here at work since coming back from the Holiday break. Looking forward to 1-3" or 4-6" of the white stuff tomorrow...all depends on how this strom tracks....
 
It's a once a year open house event at F-40.

We should also plan to hit up Factory Five Racing for theirs, usually mid June. Bruce remembers. http://www.factoryfive.com/

The open house is once a year (in May) but a classmate of mine turned me on to the cars and coffee, its usually the first Saturday of every month or so with some exception. I've yet to go to verify if it actually happens or where exactly but if you check the past event calendar on F40 motorsports they have it listed. I just don't think they let you play around with their multimillion dollar inventory on the non open house days.

Like I said, I like the forgestar's weight and look but if I drop 1000+ on anything I kind of need to love them and I'm not sure I do. The other issue I'm having is that I really like the super concave look of a lot of wheels but I don't want to run a staggered setup so I'm trying to figure out what I can run without having rubbing issues.
 
So I'm sitting here watching the Speed channel and they are installing a roll bar into a Miata. Apparently, it's their project car on the show "Stacey David's Gearz". They labeled it the Banshee Project.


Looks like a NB from what I am seeing.
