You'll have to grind down the bottom of the flange that bolts to the block. That was the only serious issue I ran into. The "humps" around the bolt holes are too thick. Probably took about 1/8" off each one.

Paperweight. It's kinda useless though. Like I said, the only fitment issue with the OBX was the bottom of the flange that bolts to the engine. Grind that down about 1/8 around the bolt holes and it should go on without a problem.

Stoopicold was awesome btw, very well put together show, awesome turn out! i got put in VIP as soon as i rolled through the gate, i was the only RX8 there, two FD's, one fully bult and the other for sale, but we were the only non-piston cars there, well worth the 3.5 hour trip there! until i hit an opossom otw home and took out a left front mud guard at $100 a pair haha

I had too much going on to make it. Oh well. We should all get together soon. Especially if this weather keeps holding up.

back to the real fun! As we all know, my slowmatic has officially quit. It seems as if I have spun a bearing and just about destroyed the e-shaft. OTHER THAN KEVIN LANDERS, anyone know someone who can fix this issue? I dont have the time or patience to f*ck with it anymore.

Hello everyone, I just found out that there is a forum for the Nashville people! I bought my first RX-8 six months ago and I love it. Been having to learn a lot about how to properly care for her, I would appreciate if I can attend the next meet and meet other rotards! I live in Franklin, work by the airport and drive around Cool Springs - All Black on Black

Lol, what's wrong with Landers? He's an interesting fellow but does great, well-priced work. I can vouch for him (engine rebuild).
