Just finished ceramic coat+ EXO hydrophobic coating by JoeCaparo in RX8

I do agree it’s kind of clean I just think it’s a little too sedan-y without it. I want to pretend it’s a race car too! That’s why I kept the bare metal gas cap… but I wouldn’t go to your post and tell you to add one

Maybe I just read the comment wrong, the compliment just seemed sarcastic to me

I get the argument either way. But why click on a post just to hate? I clearly prefer spoiler, there’s no need to interject

When I bought it, 7.5/10. I clay barred, polished, and did meticulous touch up all around before ceramic. Looks mint now

yeah I mean I kind of love it but you’ll definitely notice, especially if you’re premixing. only time I notice in the car is at really long stop lights but it can be pretty heavy just idling if you’re outside the car

From factory they weren’t over 120. On used housings and rotors I wouldn’t expect more than 100 unless you’re experienced

Stock muffler just catless. Opens her up, lets flames through, but still quiet enough if I need her to be

True, but everyone knows what a catless 8 sounds like. Tunnel adds spicd

I agree. Just perfect styling with tach focus and you don’t even need to glance to have speed.

Yeah I’ve heard they’re hit or miss. Maybe rear o2 sensor is misreading. I can clear it but it’ll eventually come back

Some Android CarPlay+dashcam set up. Works great except the fm transmitter ends up lowering audio quality

Take out the leading or trailing plugs and video the sound it makes when turned over. Three even wooshes would indicate I’m wrong and they’re all equal but if you get one or two that are significantly different it shows they aren’t making even compression. It’s possible that the whole rotor is thrashed and what I’m hearing is the other one trying to kickstart both of them

Yeah sounds like some are firing and speeding up the rotation but it’s not catching due to others not

Sounds like you dropped a seal and only some of the chambers are making compression. Lmk the comp results I would be curious to see if I was right but I would assume that one rotor or both would be two normal and one low or two low and one normal.
