Welcome

Finally gathering all the necessary fittings for the oil feed line to the turbo only to have the 90 degree fitting break. This car just doesn't want to get back on the road. Its always something with it.

What they said ^^^^^

We are more than capable of helping here. RX-8 club is a great source of information if you search for people that have similar issues. Other than that posting can be useless. It's gotten better since a few key members there have left but people still are douchy there. There is nothing better than a...

Orange with ted door jambs?

Tim is correct. The second was an insurance buy back. My original intention was to keep the Motor and Tran...

Update - I will be building a custom kit with Dave (Chiclenwafer) this fall. - Move current turbo setup to the grey 8 after said kit is done. Low boost in the grey car. 5-8psi. Something to give it more pep and a substantial gain in torque. - Eventually re-do the interior in the blue 8. - Re do the ...
