Ugh.... Scott Dont give me good ideas. If you were in the Military with me I have a feeling your nickname would be the good idea fairy.

I almost want to pick it up and put it to the side for now. I have a HP goal in mind and dont want to alter my boost to get it. Maybe some day when we find ourselves putting back in the current motor after I get it rebuilt with a half bridge port we will put the NOS in.

Just got to be careful with your intake manifolds.

Your biggest concern would be puddling. Assuming you size the shot appropriately and use it when there's enough flow to move it to the combustion chamber, it shouldn't be much of an issue.

I can't speak to any specific issues with using it on an FI 8. I know people have had good results with adding a 100 wet shot to stage 3 S4's without any reported problems. I'd assume the RX-8 could handle a small wet shot with FI too, though I might be wrong.

That will work, I have some stuff to do before then so that's cool. Putting the hood on should only take a few minutes. I need to hit the sack early tonight, I was up until after 2AM messing with ****, I feel like i went 3 rounds with Mike Tyson.

Considering selling my BBS RK wheels if anyone is interested.

18x7.5 +42
18-19 lbs each
curb damage from previous owner
they are bored to 67.1 mm so no adaptor rings needed

$500 pickup only
Damn good deal, if I had $500.00 I would be all over that Some 15mm spacers would go along with these nicely.


Oh, and I'm boosted bitches!!!!

They will look just as good going forward or backwards. I can visualize the dropped BB Shinka on these, it will look sweet. At least he is not buying Axis Hiro's or Enkei RPF1's.

When I first bought these many years ago I was ex-tactic

I used to go to bed dreaming of those Konig octanes I posted They were actually a great wheel, they never bent, never chipped, and lasted a very long time. I cannot say that about the Enkei RS-5's I replaced them with. They chipped easily and the Enkei logos faded in a year.
