And don't let the Fit fool you. It actually handles VERY well. AND the owner/driver of this particular Fit knows more about mechanics than anyone else I know, including myself. For example, this past saturday, the evo ran the track in 46 seconds and the Fit made it in 49. The evo is pushing 500 hp and is fully track prepped, and the fit is stock on nasty all season tires. Yeas, the driver has ALOT to do with it, but its not a Yaris, for sure

On the Yaris this, I was just kidding. I used to have a Daewoo Lanos, That thing hated gas, I got close to 35 mpg out of it, until my wife wrecked it.
Please do the track thing! It is the corvette club we are racing with, but at least two people I know are going, maybe three, but no Rx-8s except me so far. Its me, a 500hp evo, and a fit, POSSIBLY a EG-6

As of right now I'm down, just got couple of questions. What does the flyer mean when it says no mufflers? Also is it a cone track or a real track? I've never been to a track in 8 so I'm sure I'll be spinning out a lot lol. Do they allow passengers and is that extra charge? Have you paid for it by mail? Feel sketchy sending a check. Do I get something back after I send a check and do I chose my number?
Thanks
Thanks
1- no open exhaust. You have to have some type of muffler installed, oem or aftermarket. It is a training facility close to residential so they do not permit just a pipe, with regards to sound ordinance
2- real track. check out this thread, these were taken saturday at the track.
http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread...700002&page=68
they use it to train ambulance drivers, so if those things can get throught it safely so can we. It was raining lightly saturday and there was only one spinout, a trans-am.
3- no passengers. I wish there was, I could use advice, but rules are rules.
4- both my friends that did it saturday sent checks with no issues. They actually hold the check until registration that day, in case someone doesnt show. I dont believe a "we got your payment" notice was sent.
I am actually sending out mine today. For those who end up going we can always meet at or around my place that morning (Avenues Mall-ish) so no one gets lost. As mentioned before, viewing is free, but there is a possibility that you may have to park in the grass, and there are no stands.
Yeah, i'm that guy....

Def interested in the fogs bro, so are they just pop in bulbs or are there other steps involved?
As far as the autocross goes Totally interested in going, even being a spectator would be fun.

So I like this new Mobil site but I can't tag anyone's quotes :/
Well I have mufflers but it sounds like I'm running straight engine, would that come up as a problem when they hear my car?
The hid are plug and play. What you'll need is a power converter harness because the stock fog light harness doesn't create enough power to light the hid which I had to do the same thing. Headlights are different cuz they can power aftermarket hid with no problem since the the stock bulbs need to generate a lot of power. I will check the price for everything and let you. I paid 75 for plug and play digital kit but the stock harness could not push the power so then I got the harness which I don't remember the price.

well here is the link. i took this from my phone so the audio quality does no justice to the true sound of the car
http://www.youtube.com/user/RXTremeWankel?feature=mhsn
the car sounds mean below 1k to 4k and after that ..... it screams for you to get the f*** out my way :D I'm used to the sound now just because it was so drastic going from stock to full exhaust and now i don't notice it until I'm on it. very happy with it. just wish i could get rid of the cels.

It's not very organized. Someone needs to take control and start organizing stuff! I was flying down Blanding Blvd with a fellow 8 a few weeks ago. It's funny how true Adam's statement is; when you see another 8 on the road you instantly abandon route and take off after it like it's an action movie. Heheh. Must say it has happened a few times.

I can't believe you guys are doing this! I've been dying to! I used to go there with the st. johns county sheriffs office and do it in the police cars but i've always wanted to go to this one in my car. I'll have to do it when i'm back in town.
I would love to do tail of the dragon if i can find someone with a truck that i can rent a two car trailor with!!!
