Bling, bling!

Didn't know there was another Pettit SC in the UK. Are there any others?

Even better when driving a slowpoke NA. It's OK you can get a reliable renesis SC too. Just trying to help the broda, yo.

I hope that abundance of torque help you pay for the engine rebuilt cost. I heard the conversion of NZDT* to Pesos is awesome at the moment.

My goodness, when will the fun end. Wait a minute, I got 364 more days left this year. Keep them coming guys cuz I don’t know about you but I’m having lots of fun thanks to the peanut gallery.

BTW, here's another coloring book for your amusement while slow driving around town.

Says the guy who has never used his car (NA or FI) for anything other than driving to work and picking up his groceries If you're going to talk speed buddy, be prepared to back it up at a dragstrip... wait a minute, we've been down this road together before (unfortunately it's a figurative road, and not a literal one)

BTW, there will be 4 or 5 Pettit SCed cars at the new Moroso dragstrip down in Jupiter on January 9th.

Feel free to show up if you can get your car reTurbonated by then. Juan's car is plenty fast, and it doesn't have a history of premature fluid leakage. Seriously, go somewhere else if you have nothing positive to contribute.

Yep, plenty fast:

(especially around 34 seconds when he went full throttle)

Talk smack all you want. The fact is if you had gone turbo, your torque gain over a stock NA car would be double what you have now. Do you guys really think I couldn't get a Pettit SC on my car if I wanted?

The RX-8 is one of the cheapest vehicles I've owned.

It is slow. As I've said, I've got more reliable FI miles on my car than you on yours.

Yeah - anyone looked into a clutched pulley; like the HKS Blower? I foget the specs; but it really seemed to give it back on the lower RPM's. I think I first read about it in Modified.

There's no smack talk coming from us, and as far as I can tell, your financial status was never in question. You're obviously pretty well off if you can afford to pay someone to rebuild your engine every couple of years.

Yeah, but he has an infinitely more track time than you.

I did and thanks for pointing it out. However, I’m more concern at the moment about my hamster. I think is going blind. Anything else you want to point out Slowpoke?

BTW Slowpoke, I also keep noticing that you car is still producing 307 whp according to your signature. How can that be on a NA RX8? I recommend updating your signature with current and up-to-date information. Anything else is just BS-Wannabe fluff.

Any reason why you're bragging about whp but leaving out the torque from your sig?

Maybe you should put a "Theory why marsredr100 and Bastage leave out torque numbers from their sig, by mysql" in your sig.

That’s cuz I get more McDonalds Bucks for whp bragging than torque. But if you click on my up-to-date signature you will see my whp and torque.

Just put the coloring book down for a minute and fix yours.
