there are little nicks in the blocks, but nothing bigger than a very small pebble. about the size of a letter here. A<----like that. No big chunks. In the upper classes I thought there were a decent amount of people running R's.

Munster, IN (near hammond/gary) But I work in Downers Grove. Just picked up my new RX-8 at the dealer in Olympia fields last Wednesday (August 24th) And I love it. I cannot believe how many people come up and talk to you and ask you so many questions and think that I paid over 50 g's for the car. It is great.

So I like the idea of meeting up but am sorta shy because I'm totally new to this rotary engine concept and have only a stock car (so far) I would like to add a carputer to it ... possibly in the spring. For winter tires what do ya'll recommend? I commute like 50 miles each way to work so snow tires are a definate for me. If there is a meeting and I'm in town (and it's not to late at night cause I leave for work at 5:30am) I'll try and be there (if welcomed).
Welcome to the forum .... and the Chicago part of it! Glad you found us!!! :D

well, this past weekend I was up to 115 or so on the front straight, I was actually faster by a couple mph in the rear straigh going into 5. everyone wants to follow the road rather than just taking a straight line thru. Lap traffic was slowing me up IIRC.

well, gotta get faster! Next year I think I'll get a set of RT-615 Falkens and a track set of wheels, maybe do coilovers. Dammit, I need a bigger track budget!
