HAHA! Dude, the Audi we have feels awesome relative to the RX8...It takes corners just as well but the steering is too soft compared to the 8.

Hey all, is everyone done with testing their compression? Just let me know, because I still need to buy a better case for it.

I wanna run a test if that's ok with you. I feel like my engine isn't working up to par.

Can I borrow it from Mike, Nemesis?

If Mike or Shaun could test your engine that would work better. They have used the tester before, and are familiar with it.. I will be needing it back soon, so the sooner the better guys.

Mike. Can you meet up on Wednesday and we can knock it out? That way we can get the tester back to Kevin. My car's at U Mazda right now so if it's not ready I'll just skip it so I don't drag it out. But I'm happy to meet up and help out testing people's cars even if mine's not ready.

As of yesterday morning my latest reman had not reached the dealership. They were hopeful it would arrive yesterday afternoon or sometime today. If they have the motor by today then there is a decent chance I will have my car Friday
