aw intercooler pump----is a bosch unit.. Maybe you could find one at a boat store --bilge pump may work?
or if anyone has one for the ford lightening or the s.c.ed mustangs--they will work.

That's definitely better, I think most people get 18-24 with Cobb tuning.
I got 21 mpg mixed city and highway. Without the Cobb but with some mods including ignition I get 18.9 mixed.

Has anyone done an electric water pump drive?
I was thinking a non rpm based coolant supply may help our 9K rpm bursts.

Those are the headers that are on Ebay right? They look exactly like them, and I think they were "buy it now" for $185. I don't know if trust things that are that cheap and on ebay

it corky and i like wht you did with the grill and lip---really sweet---cant wait until you do your ca thing with it--then i will absolutely drool.

These headers are on e bay but so are RB's and exoticspeeds! Titrex is an established company --i like the longer collector and the pipes seem bigger?

anyway i have been working on motor mounts--see my thread. Found some things.

Oh the ewp-- we discussed that 2 yrs ago--i really like the concept--but it appears that it is not a workable idea----yet.

Thanks,,,
With all hardware(rails, sliders) it came to $1800 a piece...
However I did have to modify the bracket the build is in the Aftermarket seats that fit in the RX8 thread,,, I got alot of compliments on that,,, as far as I know its the only Recaro Sportster in an 8...

well--i guess i will have the honor of being the first petti rx8 on road atlanta--going w/e of 8/8 with nasa.
i dont think i am going to hold it open on that long back straight--i was hitting over 120mph with out the s.c and i am sure now this would be a 140+ spot for me. i really dont want that plus having to brake down to about 70 in a short distance adds to it.
try to get some video.

The important part of Denny's statment happens to the part you left out,,, the braking zone is why Denny is siding with caution,,,

hehe I'm sure one or 2 140+ runs would be OK, then back off and preserve brakes etc....

But 1 or 2 for research is justified, hehe 8)

Mind you driver = decider!
