ShowHBK

Ever think about doing a promo video? I'm not saying to copy dollar shave club, but god damn did they have an amazing promo video which I feel attributed to their success. It makes sense that you can't show whats in the box, but maybe show a few examples of many different items to generate buzz? idk, i'm not a marketing expert but a promo video would generate you some hype.

Hold on to that FD and never let go!

#1. Install AdBlock Plus from Here #2. Bookmark this site: Stream2Watch #3. Crack open a beer It is important to have Adblock plus installed on that site because all the games have 3-4 advertisements overtop of them. I have been using this site for the past 3 NHL season and they have just about every sport on there you could ever want. The Reddit links are also worth the bookmark. Hope this helps =)

Front end links and sway bar are on. It's time to Autocross! I'm not waiting anymore... http://i.imgur.com/xn4z0Lk.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OOXeOZB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4hNajSH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oLLUYU2.jpg

*shrug* I'm doing what I can, when I can. I'v been busy. With any luck we will get done this weekend. Any good solo events coming up? We just need to put the sway bars and coilovers in at this point.

Unplug battery... let sit... plug in battery... Idle Works. http://www.memegasms.com/media/created/vhyfxm.jpg

buuuuuuuuuuuut, Now I have a CEL on the dash for P0507 after the plug and coil change. Car jumps the 3k RPM on start and does something a little weird when it comes down to idle. This is my post on RX8Club I recently replaced my spark plugs, coils, and leads over the weekend and everything went great. I started the car up with no problems and drove her around the block and noticed a bit more pep in the acceleration, probably from the new plugs and coils. But something was a bit odd when I put the car in neutral, She seemed to jump a bit before settling down to idle (maybe a 200-350 RPM jump). No CEL at the time... I drove around a bit that night to let the car run a bit and while at a red light my CEL came on. I pulled over right away and pulled out the old OBDII and got the code P0507 (Idle Air Control (IAC) System RPM Higher Than Expected). I thought maybe it was simply just a vacuum leak and me being stupid forgot to plug a hose back in when I put everything back together. Thinking logically, I took the air box out, accordion, and the throttle body only to find that every hose was on good and tight. All the coil packs are snug and nothing seems to be damaged, but i'm no expert. Here is a video of what I am experiencing. All I am doing in the video is pressing the gas for a moment to demonstrate the little jump that is causing my CEL The weird thing is that the car has 0 problems with everything, including the idle. She will accelerate a LOT faster then before and chilling at idle is no problem either. it is only when I tap the gas, or the car is coming down to idle when I go into neutral. I don't down shift and normally just throw the car out of gear when I come to a stop light... any ideas as to what is causing this? I found a guy on "This Page of RX8club" having a similar issue to mine, but he never seemed to get a reply from what I saw. TL;DR I replaced spark plugs, coils, and leads. As a result of "something" my idle now jumps a little before settling down, which is causing a CEL to throw up. I have a video and OBDII Data recordings of the issue. What have I done so far to attempt to fix the issue? 1. traced my steps back and disassemble the Air box, take out the accordion, and inspect the throttle body. 2. Cleared the code, thinking maybe the car just needed a few cycles/runs to re-learn how to idle? 3. stomped on the brake 20 times What else I think I can do? Have the car relearn its idle? but how? Are the plugs bad? i'm almost 100% sure there is no vacuum leak anywhere I also notice the car jumps to 3000 RPM after I turn the key, and it only used to go to 2000 - 2100 RPM with the old plugs.

hmm... these things were fucked! Halo or white outlines on coil packs is never good. Big thanks to TheMrWes for letting me use his garage to do the work.

I would diagnose the CD drive first on the driver side. Can you boot to a CD using the drive? if so, the Windows is to blame. Try different ports on the Motherboard as well. if it's a SATA connector then just try a different one, also... replace the SATA cable if all else fails to rule out a bad cable.

then it becomes my house... its a win, win really (Kappa)

***UPDATE*** small victory for myself today with replacing the coolant bottle. No more coolant light on my dash. Next weekend is plugs and coils the tricky part was a small hose under the bottle that is connected to the radiator. I had been told if I put to much tension on the hose then it would break off the radiator and then the radiator would need to be replaced. took me a little while to get the angle right but it fit in perfect with no issues. out with the old: http://i.imgur.com/7nQ105q.jpg in with the new!: http://i.imgur.com/owMkIkI.jpg

After watching Sunday's episode... I'd still hit it with or without the stone around here neck... you know who I mean jk, I puked on my keyboard :barf:

I can assure you it's not a sketchy site. I buy games off there weekly. The site allows people to sell their codes to other people, but you can't check to see if the code it legit without redeeming it. the extra $1 just guarantees you a valid code if the person does not give you a good one in the first place. No worries if you don't want to use the site, just trying to help

EXCUSE ME SIR!!! it's called "Copper Red" NOT purple!!!

haha! the picture on Amazon looks like this... WTF!?! http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YcVhCgjEL.jpg

We have a problem!!! Can we powder coat these a different color? I can send them back but The company will not pay for shipping http://i.imgur.com/fXcFQpQ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xjkKnU8.jpg

$43 on G2A... I use them all the time to buy games. Make sure you pay the extra $1.13 for the shield, because some people do sell bad codes. https://www.g2a.com/xbox-live-12-months-gold-subscription-card-gold-global.html

If someone wants to come find me at Cars and Coffee on Saturday, Id be cool with talking about a plan to print a set of these.

"The box said 10 horsepower" - RCR

haha, yea. The RX-8's overflow tank has a known problem where the sensor will sink to the bottom and always give a warning light on the dash. I have put if off long enough and it was time to replace the whole bottle because the sensor is built into the bottle and can't be replaced.

I got something in the mail today. http://i.imgur.com/MiGoFyI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DyUE8FG.jpg

This is what I currently have on my "feet". I don't really have the money to get slicks or anything much higher then these at this time. I am open to suggestions as well, what good autocross tires are out there? http://www.kumhousa.com/tire/category/car/6F060DB8-951A-40BF-B44C-6EB344DCD048

I know I know... I'm going to put on what I can in the driveway and Kevan is going to let me use his lift once the Neon is done for the bars and coilovers. I will be there this Sunday for the UFO event at CMS. just planning on keeping things simple right now. I honestly don't see any point in doing something to crazy yet. I am focused on making the car more stable and handle better. maybe an exhaust or something a little crazy? The rule is that the car has to remain stock looking, I don't want to make it look crappy... ya know? I hope so... I'm really excited to get things on the car. Money has always been tight and I really wanted this for the car. Thanks for the encouragement guys. More updates to come as the parts roll in and find there way on the car.
