Jackie Chan missed it so much that Mrs. Chan bought it back as a surprise for him. So you may see her again, in Rush Hour Part 7

How much did you sell it for? I'm glad to see that it will be raced.

Congrats on the new ride Dave and Eric!

I got my turbo back exhaust and need to get an intake uicp and bov so I can get it tuned. What bov should I go with? And is the injen intake & uicp kit for 400 an acceptable piece of kit?

Mike, do you still recommend the hallman mbc for the x?


What so I do for tuning, any local gurus want to make a little $ or perhaps trade services?

Also what would I need to do to run e85 and have the ability to have a map for that and then pump gas?

i have the hallman mbc, it works great, easy to use. For $60 you cant go wrong! for tuning you could go to jason, or buschur or cbrd is closest. for E85 all you really need is 1000cc injectors or higher, id go with 1300's if your going to get a bigger turbo soon, and get blaqops double pumper and then just need a tune for E85...

I saw about 15-20 r8's so it mght not be the same one!

Dave, I was curious about the RS weight, and from what I've found it is only 60lb lighter then a gsr. Do you have any spec sheets that show the 200lbs? I do remember the 8's being more then 60 I thought but maybe I'm wrong. I'm really interested in the actual weight. Did you ever have it on scales?
