So I finally was able to take her out on the street with some of the guys in Risky devil....it was a good day, however I end up being so much more conservative with this than the S13. She feels really good though on the street... this pic is pretty dope.

^^no nothing yet. I was thinking about changing out my rack though for the FD rack, but for this season I really don't think I'm gunna touch anything else on the car. I might also get some custom knuckles, but again...that'll probably next season

so the event was good....i didn't do as well as i hoped though. For some reason I just couldn't find my line for like the whole day. I had a couple good runs, but it wasn't as smooth as I would have hoped. I was runnin out of 2nd gear and at those moments it was like just before I would have thrown it into 3rd but kinda wouldn't have been worth it to just upshift for a split second. whatever, hopefully pics will be out soon though.
Question for RX8 tech's out there:The car also ran into some issues like after 2 hours into it. I started having idling issues. It would idle for a bit but then would like drop down to like 250rpm's and then shoot back up trying to save itself. Sometimes it would just die. The car felt good however when I was driving. Then after a few more runs with these idling issues, the car acted like it had a boost leak and would totally sputter if I tried to give it any gas. We kept looking for where the leak was but never found anything. Then when I was on the drive home, I could barely even touch the throttle or else it would just like loose all its revs, so I could only go like 55 tops on the highway. Then, WITHOUT WARNING.....it all of a sudden was fine. I could boost it and everything. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHATS WITH THAT?!!? Is there a eletronic shut down mode, or maybe my maf was fucked? maybe one of you rx8 veterans have a couple ideas. I'm gunna really go check it out tomorrow.

^^yeah for sure..... let me know when your next meet is. I still gotta check out the car...I've been so busy for the last like 2 weeks, especially on the weekends when Ive planned to clean a couple things up. Plus they have been redoing the street right infront of my driveway for like a full week! the driveway is downhill and there is like a full 2 inch drop onto the road right now, so it would probably **** the front end up when pulling it out.
