Corey, I'm sure they won't chastise you for telling the truth, that you just miss me that much. It's OK, I'm sure they all understand. Try not to cry yourself to sleep again tonight though.

Update: The wheels are getting powdercoated black right now, and the Nitto NT555RII are going on after that (pic attached). Then going on the car, pulling the fenders out more, going to PDR (paintless dent removal), then body work and paint. Zico already fitted the front bumper on but trying to get pics is like pulling teeth!!! He said a guy at the shop took pics with his phone and was going to send them but I have yet to see them and it was over a week ago already. I'm also getting ready to put a deposit on a 500R turbo kit from A-Spec. To get an idea, here are a couple videos from a guy that is running it already. Should be fun.

Hey everyone. I just purchased an rx8 about 2 weeks ago. Im putting the Greddy turbo kit in it this week. I was wondering if any of you like to cruise on the weekends or what not. Haven't been in a car club since i sold my nissan 240 4 years ago. Just lookin for fellow RX8 owners that love to just hang and show off the car.

Welcome to the club. The Greddy kit is a hard one to install, I know I've done it. If you have any questions I might be able to answer. We haven't done any cruises for a bit down here but it is starting to get warmers so we can get those going again.

You won't see much haha. So far they only got 1 wheel back from powdercoat (not sure the reasoning of getting 1 at a time), and they don't have tires mounted yet. Z started pulling the rear fenders a little more, and he fit the front bumper on (pic attached). That's pretty much it so far. And he just went back to Hawaii for a couple weeks again.

Welcome airstriker!

I like the vido Eric. I bet his EGT's are on the moon! Looks like fun! So hows aboot a meet a little futher east next week.....?

Yeah for some reason the one link doesn't work anymore. Did you get to see the driving sports link, the video of him on the track and losing control of the car at the end? Haha. Might be a little too much power haha. I'm not sure about EGTs, I don't imagine they'd be any higher than normal though. He has an abundance of insulation under his hood too. Everything has some kind of insulation or heat shielding on it, it's crazy.

How far East do you wanna have this meet? I can get with the local Sheiks and see if they have an RX-7 club over here and you guys can meet with us over here at the local Shwarma place, HAHA.

It varies place on an each meet basis. The time stays the same. How about Rock Bottom this week?

Alex: Cleveland is a little far east as I do not want my car to rust out from under me. Get my text about the Radiator?

phone got shut off.

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Mon Feb 23, 2009 9:14

Rock Bottom on Powers works for me this week.

I will have my new exhaust just in time for the meet this week.
