I figiured you guys would want to keep it rotary so that is why I asked. he does not belong to a Ferrari forum (don't ask me why not). I would also have him dyno last so you wouldn't have to be burdened with the wait and #'s. I don't want to ruffle any feathers so i'll just tell him he can't show up and that he has to join a Ferrari forum and dyno with them.

If he joins us, and he dyno's higher than us, will he buy lunch?

Good thinking, but to be frank he has an 82 Mondial Quattrovalvole so I doubt he will dyno higher then us although it will be close. I just told him that the dyno is packed with rotory so we can't fit him in.

i am going to add a +1 for my buddy(asuka dc, some of you met him at the lax meet, he drives a hardtop S2000). meaning if we get 20 rx8s to dyno then he is out; if we dont get 20 rx8s ill tell him to dyno with us.

Personally, I'd rather have 17 RX8's, than have 17 RX's, a S2000 and two other assorted cars....but, It's not my thread. My 2 cents.

that defeats the whole purpose of this dyno day. If me and jedi wanted to do that we would have called out the rx7 club. No more 2 cents from you on this thread. Leave it as it is...

I think he was agreeing with you saying he would RATHER have all 8's. Not a random assortment...... or we are just all confused. (don't kill me deedub - - he pays the bills )

i kill no one..especially one with a nice white rx8 as yours...its just that things are set up as they are designed to be, not to be over engineered.

I'll be installing the new and improved Turboxs exhaust this weekend that guarantees 299RWHP. Prepare to feel the wrath of my dyno #'s!!!

oh no, not with this exhaust again.

on another note, I installed the ignition coils today, whoa, what a difference! Idle is smmmooooooV!! backfired less as well. Didn't get a chance to drive it today but hopefully this weekend!

Yes I had burn marks on all of them. The coil closest to the firewall is the hardest to take out. If you don't have small hands you might want to find someone that does. It took me 30 mins to do it, thats including all the bitching and whining. hahaha

damn, I'm screwed....
I'll probably do this on Saturday or Sunday. I'm doing plugs, wires, and coils so it'll probably take me a bit longer. I'm at about 24,000 miles so figure I'm due for them anyways.
