Did the shop dyno the car? If it's ready, you should have those numbers by now.

hey someone else on here suggested a good idea what every rx8 owner on here should do throw in a couple bucks we get a used renesis engine with some miles on it they throw a speed force racing turbo put on it n put it to abuse see how much it can hold before it blows that way one of us isnt an unlucky owner of a blown up engined rx8. thats just my opinion though, if ur gettin one put on whats a couple more bucks to see what ur engine is capable of.

ok im picking up tommorow FOR SURE. i drove the car today and DAMN. thats all i gotta say. a couple notes the car started. they first started it without the pipe and wow it sounded like a monster. we did a little driving test tune. the car stalled but thats because the screen for the MAFS wasnt yet intalled. the car was running rich so they really need to get it on the dyno for tuning. they didnt want to make an appointment unless it was running good. and it was. the problem was that the setup that i have, is way different than the set up the test car had. (larger turbo internals, test pipes...etc).the car threw a CEL but tim fixed that up with a hit of a button. the only thing left to do is that they need to install the screens, the water injection hasnt yet been installed, and they need to get it to the dyno shop for some FUN TUNING(which will be scheduled next week. i was kind of hurrying them because i need to clean the car for a little local car show. DUNLOP is giving away sponsorship so im hoping to pick one up for the HOT IMPORT DAYS show here in DAYGO. another thing when we test drove the car. it was only set for about 4 psi. so at 8 pounds. i think ill be needing a neck brace. hahaha but eveything is turning out really good. hope i get the dyno #s soon for all you to enjoy. but for now you guys just have to wait

I'm a little surpirsed they'd give back a largely un-tuned car to a customer. Be pretty careful with it until you can get hard data on what the car is doing!

hahaha i got the car back its great. it'll still have to be tuned. to see its full potential. but dont worry as soon as i get the # i'll post. sorry guys ive been stressing out about the hot import days comming up. because i dont have tires to put on my rims. im trying to borrow some from shops. that im close to. so far its the KEI OFFICE 3 spoke 18s , Axis MOD7 20's (maybe), or mazda speed but i still dont know the sizes yet. if anyone wants to let me borrow. let me know. and i'll pay for your HOT IMPORT DAYS TICKET.

...right - it'll leave us speculating...like...
I speculate the car made about 215hp at the wheels on the dyno; thus, SFR told you to wait to post numbers until they can create respectable-for-the-money numbers.
:D
I hope I'm wrong!

Ok guys, I know we're all interested and frustrated for lack of results, but let's play nice or this thread gets closed and we have to start all over again. I've removed the last few nasty posts to give us a fresh start. Thanks.

I was thinking the same thing.... I also hope you are wrong.
