Anyone who has already answered and will be at Sevenstock tomorrow, feel free to ignore the "business" card that I'm going to tuck under your windshield

Got 200 of them, so pass them on if need be.

Well, I just got back, and found out that the survey account expired. I am looking into seeing if I can re-opening it free, but if not, this might be dead

Considering how simple it ended up, (thorough, but simple in design) I am thinking there would be a cheaper option through a web service or something.


Irritated, since I passed out all those cards at Sevenstock, and it goes and shuts down on me.

Official re-bump.

I have it back up and running, but unfortunately, the results were not able to be transported to the new host method, so people will need to re-respond. It is now hosted on a Google Site, as an embedded Google Doc, form template. Should be somewhat easier to fill out.

No more engine ID mess, for those of you that were turned off by that. Just RX8Club.com ID and email address. Still 1 response per engine you have had.

I just sent an email out (BCCs) to ~20 email addresses I was able to locate in PMs previously about the survey.


Thanks Jedi.

Just got the E-mail tonight Mike, will do mine again here in a few minutes.

I'm still interested in crunching the data if the output is more manageable and you get enough people....let me know.


Okay, I is done!
Saved the link for future updates in my RX8 favorites directory!


For the sake of argument, what would you consider the Revi air intake with RAM duct?

really not sure. I put Ram Air Style in there on your suggestion earlier in the thread. If it becomes a meaningful data point we can figure it out

Sure thing on the data, do you have a gmail account? If so, send me an email from it, and I can set that account as a collaborator.

Yeah, saw that. But I have to log out of my main gmail, switch to renesisdata gmail, answer, then switch back


I wish I could reply from my normal one AS renesisdata. Would make it easier.


So I just replied here to your deleted post

Forgot all about it over the weekend. Maybe I'll remember this week some time while I'm at home.
