It is an automatic Vinnnie. Don't know how much a 4 port will help you.

lilring 04-05-2010 10:25 AM

the engine might be toast. As it sits now it is still in manual drive with keys stuck in the ignition. I am going to look at a 2006 Rx8 GT black tomarrow.

Where is it? Please tell me you are going with a 6-spd this time!!

Oh, have you gone gone to remove all your aftermarket parts yet? If not, I would say you are shit outta luck. There is a serious theft racket in Mid TN off cars sitting in a tow yard.

lilring 04-06-2010 06:39 PM

It is at Crest Caddiliac in the back. I havent taken anyparts off it but i dont know if i can. my insurance is taking forever on everything. and the Rx8 that i looked at today, the transmission was messed up and the dealer wont even let me test drive it because of the transmission. I cant find anything to buy here.. shit sucks!

djmtsu 04-06-2010 07:37 PM

Something you need to know:
-if the insurance company does not pay you for a specific aftermarket part, you have the right to remove it from the vehicle.

Also, there are RX-8's all over the place for sale around here! How much are you willing to spend? I know of one for sale in N Alabama that is meticulously maintained, and a smoking good deal.

The one with the 'transmission' issues, is it an auto or manual? If it is a manual, I can fix it in 5 minutes.

You need to communicate man!!

lilring 04-06-2010 10:47 PM

They wont sell that rx8 to me at all.. i even told them i will buy it as is and sign a paper saying that i know of the problem.. it is a manual.. Really? what rx8 do you know of? im looking to spend 10-15gs no more than 15

Hey Zach, it looks like someone is using your "raspberry" gun that you wanted.

yea seriously if this starter doesnt fix my hot start problem ill be taking the camry so a rotary car isnt mandatory

TypeSL_T 04-13-2010 01:11 PM

Heck, I went in my Saturn about 3 years ago. I had a blast even without my rx7. Was awesome getting to hang out with everyone and of course take on the dragon.

lilring, I saw your car. It looks pretty rough from the front. Can't even tell from the back though. It looks like the fenders are holding the doors from opening. Hope the insurance company quits jacking you around. I know our body shop could use the work.

thanks. the back of it had no damage done. but the frame was bent and you right about the fenders. im hoping to find out what junk yard it goes to so i can get some parts off it. What body shop shop is it? I have a set of mazdaspeed side skirts that im putting on my new 8 but they need some work done.

I am not taking my Rental Kia Rio to the dragon.

And almost rear ended 'whats his names' FD on the way there! Don't think I forgot.

TypeSL_T 04-13-2010 08:04 PM

That would be Alex. What a stupid mistake. I am glad that ended the way it did, because it could have been way worse.

It's at the Crest body shop. It's right next to the service center.

James

lilring 04-13-2010 08:32 PM

crest body shop? is that at crest caddalic in nashville? because it is sitting there right now as we speak

TypeSL_T 04-13-2010 08:37 PM

Yea. Crest Cadillac-Hummer-Saab. We have a body shop behind the Hummer building. I work at the Service center next to the Body Shop. Engine/Trans tech.

One shot of your poor car. Rims look awesome. Love the center caps.

lilring 04-13-2010 08:42 PM

i want my rims.. i just need a set to put on there.. anyone have a cheap set of rims they want to sell? and i mean cheap. must be at least 16 inches thou... I wonder if they will notice if i take the tail light leds out

TypeSL_T 04-13-2010 08:54 PM

Do you know the lug pattern? If cadillac has a matching pattern, I am sure we have some take offs that the parts manager would sell pretty cheap.

Did the insurance company total the car? It doesn't really look like it would cost much to fix it. Granted, there may be more to the damage than the eye can see?

James

lilring 04-13-2010 09:30 PM

yeah the insurance company tolaled the car. crest said that there is like $8500 and insurance said more than 10 grand. The lug pattern is 5x114.3

TypeSL_T 04-13-2010 09:36 PM

I don't think we have anything in that pattern. I can check though. I will let you know if I come up with something. Heck, if this doesn't pan out, I would go to pullapart and get a set from them. Last I checked it was like 11 per wheel/tire.

James

lilring 04-13-2010 09:40 PM

thanks man, that would be great. i might go to pull apart this weekend then. hopefully i can fit them in my kia rio. lol

TypeSL_T 04-13-2010 09:45 PM

No prob man. Let me know if you need a hand. I am there every day m-f from 730-5, and some saturdays til 3.

James

lilring 04-14-2010 02:34 PM

James, did you find out if you have wheels?

TypeSL_T 04-14-2010 03:33 PM

I think all we have is 5x115. That's the only lug pattern the Cadillacs have been using for a while. Sorry man.

James

lilring 04-14-2010 06:44 PM

its okay. im just going to collect the money from the insurance company for them.
