I need to check these threads more often, lol... What days are you planning? Over on RCC they say there's a midwest caravan coming from Illinois area early Thursday morning, we could try to catch up with them or meet up or something. I didn't book a room yet or anything either, wasn't sure if I was going to go if there wasn't anyone else making the drive to keep me alert... ZZzzzz...

You should bring your 8, unless you can get the 3 ready in time... better not to rush it though. I'll try to figure out on RCC when/where to meet up with that caravan and how many people are in it. There's going to be 4 20b's this year... possibly that 26b RX8 and I think Modified Magazine will be there too. Phil's working on another FD project too. We need to talk Carlos into going down with us, bring his FD.

April 16-18... but some people come early or stay later depending on their schedule. I guess there's a caravan heading down from the midwest, I need to go digging and find out if they've set any real plans on when they're leaving, where they're planning on stopping etc...

BTW, does Carlos or Harold still have that FC?

nobody is going to want to buy a turbo rx8
there is no market for it here; stock 8's open up a wider range of people

i will do better selling all my parts and trading it in to my dealer account thru work

LOL no way on the minivan. My wife refuses, hahahah.

No it's just not practical for me with winter and all. I never drive it. I want a car I can drive all year with out having to have a winter beater. Most likely will buy an STI. Just gotta find the right one. They are hard to find with low miles and stock.

As for the wheels, they will fit 05+ STI's however they will require a lot more work to fit unlike the 8. I will need to roll the front fenders, roll AND pull the rears. The pull part is a turn off. Never really liked that look....we will see how it goes.
