Clutch bleeder valve is a bitch and a half to get at. Even more so if you want to swap out the bleeders.

not sure about the weather up here for sunday. Right now weather.com says its suppose to be partly cloudy with a high of 41.

Twiztid: just let me know when you set a time, if we cant work on the headlights this saturday thats fine, id still be interested in helping with the sway bars.

...now for the bad news, as i just told Ryan, i may be in the market for a new car guys. Dont get me wrong, I love the rx8, but every month i am spending LARGE ammounts of money to keep it going, and parts are pretty expensive. Ill still make it out to all the meets and still be on here all the time, its just being in college i dont have the pockets to provide for all the repairs going on right now. Heres where you guys may benefit, If i do decide to sell or trade in the rx8 i will give you guys a chance to get whatever you want from my car in return for the stock pieces on yours.

If you guys know anyone selling any cars make sure and let me know, im looking at all types of cars MR2s, camaros, firebirds, 3000Gt price range will prolly be around $10,000 so if you have any ideas or know of any cars. let me know!!!

almost it has the 2.5 liter but it does not have quite the internal bracing the STi has.
only porblem i hear with them that the STi does not have is they can break ringlands if you push much more then 320ish hp. but the 2.0 in the 05 and older wrx's or the STi 2.5 liters don't usually have that issue.
