Have you planned out what all you are doing with your rx8 buildup exactly? List of parts, some specs youd like to see, etc? PM or post here any road-racing blueprints youve got.. -=)

PS -- Mac is a super guy and helped install some springs on my car a few weeks back. I wish all of the big plans I have in store for Ghost (my 8) were going to take place in the MW so I could utilize such a great helping hand. Best of luck to you Mac... back to TX in 4 weeks!

Car broke again. This time the left front wheel points straight and the right one points far right. A month ago, while the car was under warranty, I reported to the dealer there was a squeaking noise when the front went over a bump or I came to a stop. They didn't find anything. It's wet out side so I haven't taken a close look, but I am expecting a tie rod end. I wonder if I have one of those bad ball joints that was recalled for inspection. None of those were suppose to be in the U.S.
Anyway, I'm waiting for a tow truck at the moment.
I'm slowly rebuilding my RX8 one part at a time.

Look at the brightside. You will have the newest 100,000 mile rx8 in the country. That's gotta up the resale value, right?




sorry to hear about that Al.

Update: The lower a-arm is broken.

I was on my way to work and about 2 mi from home I made a u-turn because I forgot something. When pulling out of my drive, I heard a funny noise and the car wasn't acting right. I pulled back into the drive and on inspection I found the reason why. This could have happened to me on 355 or 88 at high speeds.
