Nothing a drive in your car can't fix

Try to stay fit, because there's no way a wheelchair will fit in the trunk!

I'm not as limber as I used to be, put on a few pounds but I'll never set down an vegetate (other than to watch CRH work). The 8 keeps me young thinking. Nothing I love more that to go to the local meets. Someone wanna race??? How'd you like to have it on your bio that you were beat by a Great Grandpa driving an a/t 8

guys during the early morning run to work--on an interstate entrance i wound her out in 1st (easy on to full throttle) then easy shifted --clutch fully out---then floored her ----and damnnnnn! The 225/45/18 tires broke loose for a little in 2nd gear. With just the throttle! Anyone else having this problem?
Temps were in the low 40's outside. The car was fully warmed up.

I got this link sent to me

http://www.mazdapalooza.com/

There are a good number of RX8s going.

I think we FL S/C RX8s should make a grand appearence. The road trip alone hould be fun.

Plus I wan to see BlumonstrRX8's car he has a turbo kit with 400whp. If he got it back from Mazsport yet. I hope so.

I'm running 265 width in the rear. No problems breaking traction while shifting...just a little chirping.

Juan, when are you going to the dyno??

not talking about shifting--talking about already shifted clutch out, gas on, then floored it. tires still broke loose. pavement was cold so there may have been a little slickness to it but not much. To be clear--- while in 2nd gear (and going the speed equal to the top speed of 1st gear)---just floored the gas and the tires broke loose a little.
Folks after a LOT of thinking --I am going to keep running the INT X. I have plenty of power, idle is now good, after a tune my gas mileage will be good, and I can have track maps, shift light, valet map and track data collection. Nothing wrong with the flash---just for now the X works really well for me.

You're probably on the road by now, but I was wondering if they have completed the move and are ready to move cars through the new shop?

I'm home safe, Juan still probably has about another hour of driving.

The car is FREAKING.... aweSOME....

Super smooth power.. Super smooth idle with and without the AC at full blast...

and NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS...

the face dyno felt a little extra acceleration, but that could have just been the muscles in my face acting up again from all the smiling.

FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!
