160* t stat. Only lowered temps about 7* Need to get the cobb software so I can set the fan control lower.

9 heat range plugs all around.

Fresh Oil.

Straightened out crooked intercooler and radiator.

Got some measurements for doing some duct work.

Transmission grenaded last night. No 1st. Rough and super loud sketchy 2nd, 3rd and 4th are ok, No 5th 6th or reverse.

Awesome

Limped it home, worked on the s14 all night long just in time to drive it to work today.

I really dont see myself driving the rx8 at ecb. I should be out there for Freedom moves this year in the 240 again. NExt year I might be in the R33 if things go as planned.

did you recently buy the r33? I remember seeing it for sale on rx7club and the guy was trying to trade it for a FD. Or was that you?
