And you would be right. :D

Lemme tell you this: The kit works, the a/f piggyback is working, and the car has enough power to break the tires completely loose (as in, burn 'em off!) in third gear. Boost comes on strong at around 4500 RPM. All that's left to do is finish up a bit of replumbing.

So, it's real close. All I can say for now.

Omicron is referring to chirping the tires, not literally breaking them. That would just be absurd.

im pretty sure after talking about it so long the autos will be left outta this match also.. there just isnt enuff time to make specs on the autos im pretty sure it is because that would bring the price way up.... it sucks but hey thats the way life goes

Nope, I mean breaking them completely loose. Not absurd at all. And I can currently do a healthy chirp from third to fourth (not just second to third) with my current mods. The S/C does a whole lot more.

Same here while the clutch probably doesn't like it too much, a quick shift for 3rd to 4th no hesitation on the clutch will produce a nice chirp.

2nd to 3rd can almost break the tires loose... In 1st to 2nd i can break and get a little bit sideways in the process.

My bad. :o

Yeah when I first got the car, I was chirping the tires like crazy (I didn't have the slightest clue how to drive a stick properly).

If the Sunflower RX-8 could break the rear tires the way Omicron described, it must be one serious monster. Time for a new LSD. :D

It looks like Blitz has both the 6PI and the 4PI engine covered in the JDM. So you auto owners just might be covered... hold on for the Blitz kit.

mmkay. Which, for those that are in KC, RX-8 are we talking about? Sunflower has two. One silver the other black, both with MS kits on. I saw the black one at MC Racing and snagged some pics of it but they suck (I need a new camera). Wasn't able to get too much information out of them or for them to pop the hood.
