Iam going sat 15 to run the finals from april, and then coming back sun16 to run the may event. I can take the plate, but you have to be 100% sure you will be going so I do not have to run the car with that in the trunk.

ARE YOU RUNNING THE RX8???

Ill be there. Or we can meet on your way up if that helps you. Cant run the 8. I've broken 3 axles this past week on the street, dont think they will do that good at the track.

So I desided to start a 8.8 project. I have no other option. I know that if I spend money and get the whole axle setup then my rear end is going to go. So I desided to spend the money on the whole rear end.. Its a nice little project.

Tell me about it! Been on a 20B project for a while now, things happen along the way that slow it down even more! On Monday I take my car to take motor out to fit the 20B (mok) engine before they close it. This is the sad part, leaving my car and not being able to drive it I know it's worth the wait though!
