I drafted that first message after reading only one of your posts... now that I have been to your racing page... I am feeling sufficiently humble and kind of feel I might be bothering you with my questions, but seeing your results makes me want to still try .
P.S. I know jack about cars and racing...that being said your car looks fantastic and 1.5Gs! In an
RX-8?? maybe I have no idea what i am talking about but that seems incredible to me. Can not even imagine how that must feel!
Amazing results Eric!
I have loved my RX-8 since I got her and 100% stock my love only grows with each passing mile.. seeing your results only vindicates my feelings for this great car

Hi Eric,
I was reading one of your posts about the RX-8 and I am very impressed. I have NEVER tracked any car. I am the original owner of a 2004 6sp w/107k on the stock shocks. I want to replace them at the same time preparing the car for VIR. I had been told to upgrade with Tokico, but my order for D-specs was "refunded" with no explanation. And I am unable to get any response from them. This is my DD so I want to keep it reasonable. I was thinking adjustable... A little stiffer then stock for DD, + stiff for VIR and softer for snow tires. I am reluctant to lower the car much as I do not like scraping So, my question is... since I want to replace the stock shocks can you make a recommendation? Cost is not an issue really (with in reason of course but I would rather pay some more to get better then save a few dollars) I was also thinking of upgrading the brake lines. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!
thanks in advance.

Hi Eric, I just got a 2004 RX-8 gt 6 speed. I am planing to use it as a track day car (road racing). I was told that you are the guy to talk to about mods. I have raced lots of different cars over the years, but i have not owned a RX-8 or a rotary motor. I am hoping to speed up the learning curve, and save some heart burn buy doing what i can before taking it to the track. I was hoping you could help get me pointed in the right direction. Thanks, John.

Hey Eric, it's Ryan Ellis. We raced a couple times in spec miata and hopefully I'll be racing in Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge with you soon!

Thanks. My phone is sitting in it's charger in the console of my suburban in the garage---sorry.

I'll call you later.

Eric
