black does make it look lower but it's mainly the design of the au-to bahn bumper. If you look at the lower portion of it, it angles downward as opposed to the OEM that is flat. (look at mine vs the other two blacks)

plus, doesn't help that I have less then 3 inches from the ground to the bottom of the bumper.

I agree!
It was a lot of fun and something we hadn't done in far too long.

speaking of doing this more often, I was thinking since next month's meet falls on the same day as Mazfest, that we all just head to Mazfest and make a day out of it.

Plus, it's pretty close to most of you guys so you don't have to go very far.

http://mazfest.com/
August 13th

the day will feature a car show, track day, vendors, etc!

who wants to go? The last few years they haven't had a solid RX-8 showing and I'm thinking this year we show up in full force.

that leaves you two things you can check.
cat raise car, put on jack stands, loosen the 3 bolts holding it, drop down and peak inside.
compression rotary shop, dealership, or someone with a rotary compression tester

So Autozone has coils fro $35 each and plugs for $20 each.
Sears noticed that the tube I cut and zip tied off after my Revi Intake was installed is sucking air. I can retie that off tighter and clear the code and see what happens with that?

Loren: talked to the Mazfest organizers: we CAN bring an easy up and tail gating / bbq'ing IS allowed.
we should try and figure out who has what and coordinate.

I can make the 13th.
I think we have a small portable grill. It will fit on top of a cooler.
And if we can get Casey to show up, I think he use to take an EZ-Up for autocross.
