Saw nice lighting outside our building before work, gave it a try...

Improving a little, still had a few blurry shots but I liked the outcome a little bit better. They moved me to part time building(3 motors a day) and handling incoming/outgoing engines, if you get a rebuild and have a "J" on either the front lock bolt or rear extension bolts then I built it, so far I am 20 out of 20 on them passing(compression/leak test and test run) which surprised me considering I hadn't touch one since August. Building them made me want to drive the rx8 so I will enjoy it for a week and a half. Its at 6200 miles now, I probably put almost half those on it myself between the employees/bosses. Sorry its filthy, I will probably clean it up over the weekend, it really bugs me to see it dirty....some people just cant apreciate the things the company lets you do with there cars and turn it in looking like crap....anyways....

Looks Sweet! Did I read somewhere that you were almost out of the prison built A/T engines? If so do you have a stack of 4-port cores to rebuild or parts?

Sorry if I sound bad here but what exactly do you mean by prison built AT's?

As for parts/cores we have probably 200-400 rx8 cores(N3H2/N3H3/N3M2), another 100 rx7's but the rx7 are pretty much almost all shot by now. My guess is you meant Cat reman A/T's engines as the prison comment lol, we currently have only built/shipped the 4spd AT's and MT motors, Cat reman has the 6spd. AT's(N3M2) still in there inventory though, we also have there leftover RX7's builds. The only RX7 that they didn't build from us is the 3rd gen MT motors, those are brand new in stock...listed as rebuilds at dealerships.

Really nice pictures. As far as blurry goes, a tripod would make them perfect. Half a second is a bit long for hand holding.

Artistically, you've got it nailed.
