Thanks Nathan. Good to be here. I've never gone AutoXing before. I usually prefer attacking the back roads but am willing to give AutoX a shot.

Nathan Atkins

Dude once you've explored the limits of the car at autocross, you'll realize just how capable the car is, back roads included! I didn't realize how much I was holding the car back until I started autocrossing. You should at least try one event, it's fun and cheap and you'll learn a lot.

Is there a day when 8's go? I'm going sometime this summer for the first time. Don't know much about it but highly interested.

Nathan Atkins

Lawlorjuice, I go every time cdc has an event and I post when I'm doing something else like scca we haven't had a ton of rx8s out there but I'm always trying to fix that
Bladeiei, I look forward to seeing you there

I took the 166 exit to 95 North at a steady 62 mph, was good for a solid 1g and surprised the hell out of the guy in the civic ahead of me i passed as i merged into traffic

If anyone lives near Shady Grove metro, you will know what I am talking about:



The exit from metro to 370/270 is a nice straight that allows you to get up to triple digits speeds before entering an up hill constant radius ramp.. I have taken the ramp close to 80MPH with tires squealing all the way...

I love that turn! I always take it when I go to Rio.

Kind of off topic but I'm looking into ordering sway bars and end-links this week. I was thinking between AgencyPower or RacingBeat. What do you guys think? Please and thanks.

RJayX-8

I went with A/P sways front and rear and the end links

I have the RB sways in the future I'll probably go with Progress Tech sways

Speaking of sway endlinks.. Ever since I lowered my car with coils I get a "clunk" on full steering lock when backing out or pulling into a parking spot. Bad endlinks? I checked and they all seem to be tight...

Nathan Atkins

I would torque check everything you detached for the job and if anything fails, retorque and check it again in a few hundred miles. Everything should be within 10% of what you torqued it to. Then there's always mounting a gopro to your suspension arms and looking for movement

shimmystick

Thanks for input guys. I'm thinking about getting AgencyPower sways and do RacingBeat links. Oh and my sound system ceased working. Well more like no sound is coming out. The console works..just no sound. Guessing a fuse blew out.

Anybody looking for a TurboXS / Garageline header? I have a brand new one still in the original packaging that I've decided I'm never going to get around to installing.

Looking for $200 and if you're close to Frederick, MD I might even deliver it for you.

If I hadn't just totaled my car I might have taken this from you...

Edit**-I might still take it depending on how my payout goes...

What does your car look like btw?

BrokenRecord

Sorry to hear you totaled it! What did it look like? I see a few 8s during my daily travels.

Mine is a Titanium Gray 04 that is obnoxiously loud because of a TurboXS exhaust. I'm usually on either Rt. 15 or Rt. 40 if that's where you think you saw me.
