yeah recently ive been putting notes on as many rx8s as i can in order to increase our group. There was a nice looking blue 1 with polished stock rims at green valley ranch casino tonight. i put a pretty lengthy note on his window. i hope the person got it.

i also got 2 compliments on the car today =) makes me feel good when i get compliments from guys driving Mercedes and bmws
Alright, just making sure.. Thanks! Yeah, when I was driving with my 8 I always got compliments, even from females driving in Taxi's. LOL I think, it might be because the ladies love Armin, or because Velocity Red is the best color! But, besides that keep on telling people about our group and this site. Hopefully we'll have atleast 50 people in our group by the time Summer comes around..

I need to get me one of those rotary air freshner's, they just look too cool for school. LOL But, as far as the left clear corner light, I'll give it to you for free dude.. I have no use for it. I'm being generous lately since I even gave 07BB08 one of my fog lights. But, if you have no need for your OEM pairs, I can always take them of you.

Could be.. I know, he was talking about the RP Supercat earlier, and I told him there are videos of the HKS exhaust + RP supercat.. I also, told him about my exhaust and from there I've been lost myself. Especially about the 21HP claim..

The Return of The Toyota AE86 COROLLA



Within days of announcing Toyota's formation of a "Committee to create interesting cars," this summer's Best Car Plus magazine reveals that the long-rumoured new AE86 type car has indeed been spawned by the group and should be in showrooms in the winter of 2008.

The new article goes into some detail of the new car's spec. Under 4m long and 1.7m wide, it's pretty low at 1.35m tall, and engineers have been directed to keep weight below 1,000kgs. Power will come from a 1.5L 2NZ-FE good for 120 horsepower. What has been unknown until this time is where Toyota would source a cheap RWD drivetrain, but Best Car has learned that it will come from new partner Fuji Heavy Industries - better known to you and me as Subaru.

And the best news of all? The committee's final directive is to keep the new car's sticker price below 1.5million Yen. That's about $12,300 USD in today's money.

Exhaust claims of more than 5hp are most likely fabrications to a dyno sheet. With our cars unless you push more air/fuel thru the intake there is only so much air that will come thru the exhaust. In this case that will relate to HP. Now if you FI, nitrous or even use a K&N intake then you can increase the air/fuel flow and now the exhaust with the other mod will produce more HP. I think it was Pettit that debunked the 12hp + BS.

I once told mike that the after market exhaust manifold would only get him minimal increases in HP. He combined it with other mods and tells me that he can feel the difference. I agree, lots of little engine mods add up to a nice HP increase.

if they put that car into production and at the price that would be cool!! aftermarket companies are definitely gonna bank from this car!! in a way it reminds me of a rwd scion tc
