Lawnmower!! I've never seen a lawnmower w/ 239BHP!! Which mobil? So us Dallas people can bypass this location.

Good luck!!

Awesome, I defintely like mine. I can't wait for the "Cold Air Duct" to come out, I have high hopes that it will be a nice power addition for the REVI.

Got to drive my car today! I'm rejuvinated. I feel ok now. I got the wheels mounted and suspension fixed. We took my muffler off and I drove it from the alignment place to the paint shop with no muffler. Man she sounded good. The red headed step child should be back soon :D

Yep the intake didn't take long at all, very clean manufacturing and very well engineered, well worth the money. The car was very smooth too. Enjoy Tiff :D

Absolutely true... but given my history, do you really think these people are going to believe that the tree hit me and not the other way around? :D Shoot, you guys pick out trees that you think I should hit next! :p

I haven't been at home all week! I'm enjoying laying on the sofa while watching "Ocean's 12." Well sorta, I'm also working on the BBQ.

Did ya'll know that my fan has not turned on at ALL today? In fact, the hood has barely been warm! And it was hot and I drove long and hard! This intake ROCKS!! :D

This is still from the wreck! In all honesty, this about sums it up for a while. I'll get something from Martin in a few months, but my next upgrade, my suspension, will have to wait until Christmas. :D

You, a tricked out 8? You won't even put on CLEAR CORNERS!!!

I dont like clear corners. It's not about not modding. I just flat out don't like them.

As far as mods go, i've replaced my shifter and that's really it.
I'm still waiting to see whether or not turbocharging the rx8 to the level i want to achieve is more cost effective than buying a 3rd gen rx7 and pushing it to 400+ hp.

I have to buy new tires pretty soon and i might do some rims with them, but who knows.

I think you should do the clear corners first. I'm sure the gang would all chip in to get you a set.

What part of "I don't like clear corners" don't you understand?
