Can it divide by zero?
If not then it's not a true MS 8

doesn't the pillar gage pods mean your airbags won't work?

weird. I know 2004 didn't have white as an available color, but I am sure by 2006 they weren't shipping Rx-8's with black washer bottles either.

Funny I was wondering about the black washer tank too. My 2005 White did not have a black tank. Did someone get an old black tank, or, the dreaded question, did someone paint the car?

some of the 05 white 8's did have black washer tanks, and some of them had clear tanks....all depends on the build date

It has airbag symbols on it but it's actually not located in the piller. It's above the piller in the roof lining.

I can't find a picture of it right now. You can go out to your car and pull off the piller, they're all clips and you'll see what I mean.

Looks like you blew it with your dyno claim.

No printout, no 347hp.......

Depends on your boost levels. You'll see anywhere from 240 whp to 280 whp on the greddy turbo.

It's going to be physically impossible to get 350 out of it.

I have a dumb question for all you FI folk...why not run the intake thru the front like t he MS cold air intake. I understand you run it thru a inter cooler, but wouldn't it be better to start with cooler air?

Nice car by the way
