Haha great idea to start a youtube channel. I've got a facebook page for my rotary projects since I prefer to take photos vs. filming video.

Thanks man SO far so good. Car runs smoothly, no noticeable gain/loss in power. But the sound does sound amazing.

The only thing that bothers me, is that after the install, my ECU started to squeel, need to take it to the mechanic to find the cause.

But other than that, i love it

The stock intake is very well engineered, so an intake brakes all of that engineering. But if you want to make a track car, the stock intake won't be enough.

This period of the year is just PERFECT :D Sun, heat and freet time ( forced free time) :P And i get to do what i love most, working on my rx8.

This time I've changed the manual transmission oil, and made a video about it. Imo, a pretty solid tutorial.

I took my time to make a list of 5 things you should be carrying in your RX8 at all times. This is not a survival list, but items that are directly connected with the rx8. Would you guys add more ?
