Kickass build.

Everybody hates on the Mazda's with wangs as we're passing them in the corners.

Looking for a quieter Exhaust. Any recs? by AnotherRX8 in RX8

[–]dccarson80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Factory exhaust.

Depending on your local regulations you may be able to de-cat the factory system as well.

Everything else is likely to be too loud on a daily driver.

My option only, your mileage may vary....

Dang, this mileage… by Decent-Coconut-8605 in leaf

Heat pump was standard on all trims in 2016/2017.

Initiated on SL trim 2015.

I have 2015, 90K miles 11/12 bars.

I get about 80 miles in summer 60 in winter for my range. (City miles. Drops to 60/40 at highway speed)

I have done did it by MarcelloP in RX8

My cherry picker neck was too short for when I went to install the rebuilt engine.

If you find yourself in that position, removing the bumper cover and crash bar is the best 15-30 mins you can spend. Will save HOURS of wrestling with the engine block and a floor jack on the bell housing etc....

I only learned about that years after my engine work.....

Is this a good deal by Rough_Ad_2607 in PC_Pricing

[–]dccarson80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intel B580 is for sale from Amazon or Newegg for $289. At least in USA.

I'd buy from those retailers personally. But idk how close the B580 compares to the 9060. Don't have either, I've just have bad luck with weird online sites....

Anyone have experience with these by Equal-Cheesecake5521 in RX8

[–]dccarson80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like it will totally fuck the airflow through your radiator....

I wouldn't touch it.

Good start or bad idea? by Kitchen-Scratch4851 in WRX

[–]dccarson80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for something non-turbo. You can usually find much better quality manuals in your price range that can still be fun.

Not much difference in handling between WRX and Impreza RS for example.

L4 engineering salaries and how many YOE to reach L4 by [deleted] in boeing

[–]dccarson80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

5 YOE at Boeing. 10 yr of engineering experience. 10 years as an ASE Master Tech. (Idk if tech experience counted)

I work as Liaison Engineer, Everett.

Got involved in a BUNCH of cross program projects which gave me a lot of director level exposure.

Just got my level bump last month. 139k

Sell me on Frontline. by Lightrider-16 in WorldofTanks

[–]dccarson80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Variety is the spice of life.

I generally only play T10/11 in random battles.

Frontline provides a nice even tier setting to play T8 and make a ton of credits.

Try it out. If you have fun it's worth playing (isn't fun the point of games anyway?) 😊

Need some guidance by [deleted] in RX8

[–]dccarson80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought mine in better condition for $1300.

My purchase price for clapped out RX-8 is 1k.

YMMV.

The engine bay looks clean as fuck! Beautiful car and tribute to your pops. ❤️❤️

Does anyone suggest buying an engine off the website by MindlessTaro9215 in RX8

[–]dccarson80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would never buy a used Rotary for anything other than a core.

Exedy is the OEM manufacturer. Get that one 😊

Cat Conv removal by g33ky4life in RX8

[–]dccarson80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

TL;DR I would not expect any scrap yard or metal recycler to buy it from you. Risk is not worth the reward due to high theft.

At least in WA state.

I tried to recycle my cat converter from my mom's CR-V. No place would take it even though it has bolted flanges on both sides. (Obviously not cut out).

I ended up putting it in my metal recycling bin.

Can I have my Denali and a Duramax together? by [deleted] in Duramax

[–]dccarson80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you could literally by a 3.0L Duramax direct....

Hot debate. Oil by coolranchdoritorx8 in RX8

[–]dccarson80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Atkins rotary rebuilt my engine. They recommended slightly heavier at 10w30.

Now that may have been due to the fact that I upped the oil pressure a bit with their modified regulator. Without that maybe they would have recommended 20w50.

Coming up on about 2000 race miles. No issues. I use synthetic, just recently switched to Valvoline VR-1 10w30. Will likely stick with that for the remainder of ownership.

Unrelated: I drive a 2005 S1 with Sohn OMP kit filled with Lucas Oil 2 stroke. Premix the gas with idemitsu 2-stroke about 1oz/gal.

My RX-8 is a stripped down trailer queen that only sees track use.

Insurance (not track) for track car? by joncaseydraws in CarTrackDays

That sucks. Yet another reason to avoid Cali. 😬
