Also....I have the ram air kit. I dunno if that makes a difference. I guess we will see.

 

I won't be there ... I'll be in Costa Rica getting married :D

 

Very cool! Congrats! Are you going to buy her an RX-8 for a wedding present?

 

That's awesome! Congratulations! I agree, I think an 8 would be a great present.

 

I think an RX8 without a warrantee so she is free to modify it as much as she wants. Congratulations......Best of wishes to you and the Mrs.

 

No, but I did get her rims, shocks, springs, exhaust, a bodykit, brakes, and RX-8 Velocity Red paint for her RX-7 Convertible

 

sweet........Can she outdrive you?

 

Waterlogged and Modena send me a message with directions if you still want to do the install. Teretsboy, Tjbourgoyne, fisherdn, and Miketyson8mykids I will see you guys on Suday at Gateway.

 

Let me know when you guys are doing this and any install. I need to learn how to do all this stuff.

 

I'll shoot a PM to chico and terrets later today w/ directions to modena's. I have a meeting now. Work is in the way!

 

Thank you Sir. I'll bring the beer we will let Terretsboy bring the women in bikini's to wash the cars.

 

Sorry, but the girls in bikinis are going to have to wait. I have a dinner @ 5 so I don't think it would be worht it to come all the way out there. I wish I could make it.

 

Bah, the install will only take an hour or so. "You can do it!"

 

Are the cops bad out there? It might be worth it just for some open road and an excuse to speed.

 

No Valentine 1 protection?......

Asking for trouble

 

I've got a passport 8500

 

You show me yours I will show you mine

 

Modena,

Do you have the V1 with concealed display?

We are leaning that way, and trying to decide where to locate it if so.

Will you be at Gateway on Sunday? Would love to see your installs.

 

Anyone not at Gateway tomorrow is going to be voted off this thread Survivor style.

 

Oh and damn you Bill, you just cost me $271.00. Just bought the short shifter so I can have it in by next weekend.

 

Terretsboy where did you order it from? When are you planning to install?

 

I ordered it form axilflow. I am probably going to throw it in later this week, I'm not sure.

 

Just want to send a quick "THANKS!" out to fisherdn... You saved my butt yesterday being Johnny on the Spot with the quart of oil. I was close to running across the street to the gas station and throwing in a quart of whatever they had (which I'm sure wasn't going to be 5w-20). That won't happen again, as I just got back from the store and picked up a case. After this weekend's oil change I should have enough to get me through the rest of race season.

The official results aren't out yet, but I believe I took out a few more STis yesterday. Also our boy chico managed to take a Subaru of another flavor. Terretsboy... not sure where you ended up. There's some tough competition in BS and it's going to be a bit harder without R-compound tires. If you decide to run street tires the rest of the season I might suggest joining us in STU. Your indexed results will be much higher.

I'm not in the running for class champion just yet, but I'm getting the car and myself figured out as the season progresses. Prior to this weekend's event I was tied for 3rd. I believe I beat the guy that I was tied with yesterday so I should be in 3rd by myself right now. Hopefully I'll be able to move up to 2nd by the end of the year. In order to take the 1st place honors I'd have to beat a Stage 2 STi pushing ~350hp driven by a pretty decent driver. Now if I can only find 100 more horsepower without going SC or Turbo!

Overall I'd say it was a successful day. Hell, even Modena managed to show up (as brief as his visit was)! :D

 

Anything to help an 8 (and the owner too). Thanks right back for the autox lessons. Next time you'll have to give me pointers on my driving hopefully.

 

Hey Waterlogged send me a PM with an email address so I can send you the pics to post from the autocross.
