You mean bump and prod. I haven't got any news worth printing just now. How about I go and take some pictures of the -1 vs -2 stages next to each other just to feed your hunger for info??

I'm bored. Post a pic or two. Preferrably one with both an rx-8 and an FI component in it. If not, a naked chick will do.

I have pictures of some blower parts on the same roll of film as those of a naked lady. I will get them made to disc tomorrow. However, if I post the ones of my lady friend, Omicron will get mad at me.

What shall I do???

I think RP has prima dona status on the board...this one thread probably drives enough traffic, and thus increased advertising boost, that he can do what he wants. :D

If you can get pictures of her posing with the supercharger components, I think we'd have a nice start on the official RX-8 Club Calendar.

Good news and bad. You will get the pictures of the blower parts. But Terri says negative to her pics. She says all "car guys" are perverts. I guess that includes me, but then I already confessed to it.


I'll pick up the disc after work.

I remember "biker" once being defined as one who, if Lady Godiva had made her ride on a motorcycle, could have told you the make and model of the bike, but not what she was wearing.

I admit all "car girls" perverts. Can't speak to the male aspect.

OK, here are some shots showing the new compressor vs the first. As you can see we have added some volume to compensate for the fact that the rotary needs more air for a given HP.

Sorry about the pictures but you guys put the pressure on me, this is what you get in short order.
