I have a stock mid pipe and intake if anyone is interested.
also me and my buddy might be putting together a little drive in the Columbia area if anyone is interested. It would be nice to have another 8 there.

Zoom-Zoom BOOM!
Caught word of a car meet at Bruster's in Gaithersburg tonight at 8. I'd love to see some other rotaries out there. I'll be the titanium gray '04 parked in the midst of a bunch of Terminators and GT500s (I work at a Ford dealer). Leaving the Urbana park and ride @ 7:20pm if people can deal with some SVT harassment.

Thanks Nathan! But I need to purchase a set as I am swapping it out for the Volks on my wreck R3. Gotta put something back on there as it is totaled. If push comes to shove, I will swap out my mint GT wheels for the Volks.

Well fellas my car is producing more symptoms that just the cat, in fact the cat itself may have been a symptom all along.
Checking the oil now it is full of yellowish foam
The engine hesitates and surges under full throttle, most notably at 7500 rpm or so.
The is a large amount of oil in the intake starting just behind the filter element
So far I've cleaned the intake manifold, tested the various pneumatic intake valves (not the electric one yet) and it's currently sitting with 8oz of seafoam in the runners soaking in.
I'm going to check for vacuum leaks today and replace the cat tomorrow, I'm just hesitant with the cat because like i said it may be a symptom and I'll just clog up another one.

The new catalytic converter is in and the car feels AWESOME! It feels stronger than the day i bought it! Thanks Ben!!
Ben I've got the cloth seats in my car, would you be willing to do a full front/rear leather/cloth swap? The leather seats are heated right? I think they can just plug right into the harness under my seat then it's just a matter of getting switches.
Let me know if that's something you're open to.

The new diff is in, in case anyone is considering it, it is a way bigger pain in the butt to replace than i anticipated. The car feels WAY more torquey, It's raining tonight and I was having a hard time maintaining traction in first and second, it's going to take some getting used to. Highway revs are higher, 4k in 6th used to be 80 mph, now it's 74. I imagine fuel consumption will be worse, but this ratio should help with autocross this year. Ben I'll have the 4.44 down there to you in the morning, hopefully the weather is kind. I had some problems with my car with a thin veil of rust on everything, but yours was super clean, it should go together in no time.
