There'll be a lot less after today Phil. Don't worry about the feathers in the radiator and grill. It'll give you something to do in your spare time.

Hey Phil, I hope these guys don't charge by the hour! I've been hoping to see some results/hear feedback by now.

I almost forgot that I owned a RX8 it's been so long since I have seen it.

I would think that sometime soon I would see it in my garage again.

I'm not sure I'd want to go without my car as long as Phil has though

We still have to put some break-in mileage on it and do another compression test. Then,. I have to pay MM to come over and put a fresh tune on it. This is all in addition to correcting some work done by those who saw fit to "tweak" my installation in the past.

Suffice it to say by the time I am done with this car I will not want to see it again for a LONG time.

The only thing that anyone has forgotten is the last informative update as to what is going on.

You owe this forum big time man. If the fact that hundreds of people are intensely interested in this project doesn't phase on you, then do it for Phil who said:

OK I'm asking. I want a minimum two page detailed report on exactly what you guys are doing.
And you Phil. Such a liar. You've been receiving all these reports and giving us crap like:

Leave the poor guy alone you guys. If you had any clue what a drain it puts on someone to work on cars everyday and on top of it run a business then you would know to STFU.

Phil is getting updates (as far as i know) and the fact that Ray has kept us up to date is just an added bonus.

We'll know more when either Phil or Ray decides to fill us in. Till then, no sense in pushing for the info.

Um, yea, ok. I've managed to combine the 2 for over 25 years and don't feel drained after 50+hours/week and weekends when I play w/my own projects.

I guess you were not speaking for all of us were you?
