10-4 but I will be there earlier and staying later most likely, so take that as a ballpark figure.

Sure did, signed a one year deal with RedBull as primary sponsor. I'm looking forward to him trying to come to grips with a WRC car and rallying in general. Who knows though, he could still come back to F1 in another year. He just turned 30, so he's still got a few years left.

Anybody have an extra downpipe bolt, where the downpipe meets the 0s housing (spring loaded, 14mm)? Don't know why you would but it can't hurt to ask... Seems I'm missing one, and the other was loose.

this has been in the back of my mind for some time but started bothering me recently.

do you guys with the viii's and ix's have trouble heel-toe shifting?

it used to be effortless for me (in an srt-4 or all things) but since i got the evo X, i feel like i am going to grenade the tranny and drivetrain. i don't know if it is the positioning of the pedals or the drive by wire system or a combination of both.

it started bothering me recently when pat from rt tuning did it relatively easily (he over revved a bit but it was better than what i have been doing and it wasn't a car he drive all the time). and i am well aware that i am not a trained driver like he is either.

Help section? Is this a serious comment? I'm not taking to other one out to go and try to source another one. Just thought I would ask before I'm off to Slambrosio...

Dan, I had some trouble getting used to my car coming from an Integra. I felt the pedals were too close, but I got used to it. I dont heel toe on local streets much though; only when taking exits off the express way, or if I was coming to a light and makinga turn.

Pete, I'm sure I've seen them in the Help sections. Get the right thread pattern and length and you should be good.

pete, i would like to know what failbrosio charges you for that. i needed a new fuel pump relay and they wanted like 50 bucks for it. i ordered from another dealership and it was 22 bucks.

chu, i guess i need to suck it up and get used to it. i feel like the throttle pedal sits way too low to be braking and leaning your heel back enough to get the rpms to where they need to be. PLUS this drive by wire system is very inconsistent; sometimes you need to blip the throttle hard to get a response and sometimes very little to get the same effect. i don't know.
