Done with the car again, I have parts for the car in my garage that still need to be put on. Unless Jenn wants to share the secret one of mod that gives ?hp. Then it can be a two of mod. hahaha!

Guess I won't need those RB sways anymore...

Why gawd why?!!!

I went to Cali last weekend right after I got busted for staying out too late courtesy of yours truly. lol.

About the suspension, I have to see if the Shinka suspension sways are any different from the stock RX8. I know the shocks and cross members are upgraded but I have not read that the sway bars are any different. If they are not upgraded then I will change them out.

Marko Do you know if the Shinka's sway bars are upgraded from the normal 8?

The consensis around the bar at 7stock is that they are the same as stock.......no change. Shinka vs stock = 10 answer "the same" 1 answers "I don't know for sure" and 1 who says that RB would be better anyway.

Jen, don't forget to give me that address for next months meet.

Dunno 'bout the sways... but found this:

"To further enhance driving performance and ride comfort, the RX-8 "Shinka" features a uniquely tuned suspension system, upgraded from the standard car. The system offers a foam urethane filled front suspension cross member and specially tuned dampers, while achieving improved body rigidity through reinforcing the top-front portion of the A-pillars and improving the stability of the rear damper mounting points."

Well... SSXII was good... congrats to Mike for having his 8 in the courtyard (Vegas represent!) but as for me, i've been caught up w/ the stomach flu (started Thursday -- so I've been feeling kinda crappy and left SSXII early. I felt bad for my wife and son so I rested up enough to take them out to the Spectrum and grab a bite.. (but I ended up not eating anyways... ) anywho, back in the room... gonna rest up and hopefully get better for tomorrow.

What time are all of you heading back? We gotta stop by Glendale before heading out... I had planned to head to Newport beach as well, but gotta see how I'm feeling in the morning.

Phil... that dent hurts just lookin' at it.. Gil, gotta love that car seat in the 8.. ok.. gotta go, I think nature's calling... again

Thanks for checking in on that, I just ran across that quote and now I feel better. It was a great find at a great price! Thanks again Phil, we missed you tonight.

Thanks for checking it out, I knew the cross members had that foam and the shocks are bigger but I wasn't sure about the sways.

The sooner the better, I'm tired of looking at these damn things esp since I paid next day delivery for no apparent reason. If you don't install tomorrow I'm giving them to Armin because he could sure use a set.
