I took a year off because i wanted to stabilize myself at my job. I'm heading back to school in Spring. I used to take 3 industrial design classes and one architecture class every semester and usually make up the architecture during summer or winter.

Yup, he's a really cool guy to chat with too, he was the guy who designed the miata and rx7. A lot of the instructors are great designers, my drafting instructor designed the suzuki gsxr's from 2000 to 2008. I also work with the guy who was the lead designer for our cars :P

Paul was great, turned it around quick, no hassle, warranty on the used engine he put in it, I am sure he would do something similar on the reman

I'll have to research that for you, I had a smog issue 2 years ago. If I remember right two solenoid's were bad. I will double check when I get off work.

New member here checking in. Just bought my '04 Titanium Grey 6-speed from St. Claire Cadillac in Santa Clara and was wondering if the old owner was on here? He apparently traded in on a Cadillac SRX

So I just got accepted to San Francisco State University, Sonoma State University, and Sacramento State University, Which place has the biggest car scene/ RX8 owners? I am torn mainly between SF and Sac... any opinions or anything welcome.
