Thanks for that. I asked around and did some research. Their Stage 3 clutches are actually well-liked, but the lower levels not so much. Couple of people have their lightweight steel flywheels which seem ok. However after looking at pricing for things I'm probably better off overall just getting the whole thing from Flyin' Miata. Cost is about the same as if I buy a F1 flywheel and the FM clutch pack. I know I need something good because at least twice since getting it running with the bigger 'charger, I have had the clutch just spin when I upshifted from first to second. Kind of weird when it's dry and your rpm goes up without forward motion.

The next event will be in wilmington oh. (the last one was at Kilkare in Xenia.)
bit far from where I am, but if you are from cincinnati, it shouldn't be much farther, or maybe even closer...
it's a lot of fun, and you'll enjoy it!
just make sure you bring tons of water and sun screen.

I'll take it! probably don't need them anytime soon, but for that price, I don't mind having spare.

I think i'll be there this saturday, as long as the weather's good.

btw, I've been thinking about another cookout
There's karting place by tricounty mall that run by a local autocross guys, and i've always wanted to try it (only been once about few years ago down by Perfect North Ski).
how do you guys think about Fuel - Cookout - Go Kart on some saturday?

Well, the rx8 is still kinda for sale. If i get the right offer, it will go. As soon as i decided to keep it, i've gotten a ton of interest in it. I raised the price back up and got more interest. We'll see. An m3 that i'm kinda drooling over has popped up for sale again.

Tact, The car is staying as is, whether it sells or i keep, so i'll get your wheels and tires back to you sometime or another.

Full Throttle is a great place. Been there a couple times, and really enjoyed it. I've been meaning to go back. Maybe if I'm back in town that weekend I can join you guys.

Anyone know of anyone who can paint?

I'm about to purchase a new front bumper and side skirts, but they need to get painted. (BB)
I'm only in high school so I'm kind of on a budget; so i think a body shop would be too expensive.

I would of course pay for the paint and we can work something out labor wise on painting it.

If it makes any difference, I live in Hebron Ky. (Boone Co.)

I can't make it that weekend. It's my birthday, but I'm back in town to celebrate the weekend before with some friends. Hard to be back two weekends in a row.

LOL - hanging out at the Maineville Kroger hey? It's not weird to take pics - I do that seriously all of the time - there is a blue RX8 in South Lebanon that I have never seen move and I creep by it. Anyhow, yeah that's my Lucy - she's very "sick" right now so we'll see how much longer I keep her I swear if it's the dang engine (again) she is getting a piston swap At least I have a 7 now to fall back on - not that it's running any better right now, dang Wankels always giving me trouble! Did you snap that pic tonight? If so you weren't the weird dude with tattoos hanging out in the fruits and veggies with your GF/Wife that kept looking at Mike and I were you? LOL if you were.


The weekend of the 22nd works for us Tacti- that's the weekend between Street Life Tour and Import Face-Off I believe.

So I just saw your pic tag signature "Every time you don't resize your pictures, God crushes an FD and rices out an 8." That is too funny but true kids, look at my 8 and what a large pic file did to it, lmao.

I did take the picture last night at the Kroger, however I was not hanging out My wife and I are members at the Snap Fitness across the street and I had to swing through the Kroges on my way home for some chicken and then the 89 other things she asked me to pick up while I was there! I was also not the weird guy with the tattoos in the produce section - can't say I am not weird but I'm harmless weird not fruits and veggies creeper weird lol.

I have seen a blue 8 in South Lebanon a couple times, and there's one a red one in our apartment lot. This nice weather we've been having has made me miss mine a lot more than I usually do

We are members there too, usually go pretty late at night when it is quiet there, lol. Does that red one just "sit" - if so it's probably Nick's - he should have it back online in a week or so I hope - fried wires and blew the PCM. The nice weather will be over soon so your envy level will be able to drop, lol.
