Autocross this Sunday at Family arena in St. Charles, how about coming out to play with the SCCA crowd. Would love to have more RX8's out there. If you have never autocrossed here is a link to explain a bit more http://www.stlsolo.org/new. Also, St. Louis Region SCCA is planning a Tech-O-Rama for the middle of may and all auto clubs are invited to come out and be represented. There will be give aways, raffles, product demo's and hopefully some technical presentations. Would be fun to have a bunch of rotary nuts show up. By the way mine is an 04 GT Black, nothing special but sure is fun to drive.

That'd be alot of fun! If my wheel bearing and hub assembly gets in this week and I can change it out I'll b there. Otherwise my car is kinda scary to drive haha

Yeah, you might have a bit of an issue getting through tech if it is that bad. Sure wouldn't be any fun watching a wheel head across the Katy Trail and into the river.

I missed the first event because I botched a sway bar upgrade, breaking an endlink without a means to replace it. I have since gotten it fixed and will be at this next event for sure.
On another note, anyone local interested in getting Idemitsu oil and / or premix for a decent deal? PM me for more info.

Ill possibly be going out there, I gotta work that day so depends when I get off.
On another note IDK what to do guys, I need to replace my rear shocks for sure the fronts looked alright. Ive been debating for a couple weeks now whether to get some 800 dollar coilovers im interested in those powertrix ones if any of you know what im talking about or if I dont do that ill get konis.
Konis 500.... Total 500
Powertrix probably 850 with shipping and then sell S Techs 130.. Toatal = 720 and I can adjust height now.
So for 220 dollars I can get coilover basically since I need something no matter what. My rear drivers side is about a half inch lower than the passenger and I am bottoming out sometimes.
What would you guys do?

i didnt really see a name i just no is catback. i was told everything is pretty easy but u have to watch the plugs cause they have to be set to a tourque and if u dont do it right it could blow the motor
