Why not just mod the one you already own!

not done, but I have some room to relax. I was actually so stressed out at work these past couple week I pulled a muscle in my back and my neck from just sitting, lol. I couldn't bend over or turn my head to the right for like a week. Doctor said it was stress related, but I'm all better now.

you didn't answer my first question...

anytime you're ready to get spanked @ LVGP let me know.
yup, cornering speed. The rx-8 would be much different, since the point and shoot tactic would no longer work

like your friend who bought the RS, the economics could work in my favor. I will miss out on the joy of building it though.

btw, you still enjoying the new turbini?

Admit it, you're just mad cause it only took 1/3rd the time your car did.

if we had all the parts ready to go and didn't lose those valve keepers it would have been done back in November sometime.

I couldn't believe when we put the NEG cable on the battery and my gauge read 12v. The car cranked for a few seconds and fired right up! GOod thing too cause his jump box was busted. I could have drove it home last night but I would have had to leave my truck there so I'm gonna try and get it tonight. Driving home tonight should be interesting with Z1's still on the car, lol.
Congrats on getting it back. good thing the snow is clear from the roads and it is going up to the 50s. you'll get it home no problem.

the rx8 is cool. i'd never trade my evo for it. i simply need power and that thing didn't have any of it. i didn't intentionally drift when i drove it and it didn't take a whole lot of persuading to get the rear to break loose.

i don't think i'll be driving someone else's uninsured/unregistered car like that again.....my checkbook isn't good enough to clean up my potential mess.

you should just keep your car. are you worried about possible drivetrain issues?

there are tons of people in our area and on these forums who have spent thousands of dollars just for looks and barely drive their cars hard.

Yes, I love the spool on it. I bought the Perrin EBCS and a JDM 3 bar for it.

Anyone looking for a Hallman Pro RX?
