EDIT: Might have some folks from work that could use them if you're just looking to make sure they don't go to waste.

The components are at work right now... they have better soldering equipment.
Being off for two weeks, I have no plans on returning there soon

But I'll replace the bad resistor and reuse the other components to see if that is what was blowing the fuse (which its likely).

Not really... they have a Mechanical Wheel Dolly for $79.99 (normally $99.99) which I like because its the type that has a foot pedal ratchet system to "lift" the car onto the dolly instead of using a separate jack.
And its only $20 more than their cheapest dollies.

I picked up an older 4x4 for the winter. So I'll be posting my winter rims/tires in the next couple days (lazy). Let me know if you are interested. I can deliver to you locals too.
I also have a New In Box set of the Progress Technologies lowering springs that I will post at the same time. I decided body kit + Springs would be to low for me. (Thanks anyways Brian, for offering to help me out with those)

Nice! I've actually been researching 2000s as an option. Non-Riced if I can ha ha ha. ![Evil Laughter](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/evil_laughter.gif)

Just got my car e-checked.
I installed MM's base map to verify that a flashed PCM masking certain CELs would still pass.
And yes, I did have the OEM cat installed... I'm sure they aren't dumb enough to smell the exhaust fumes and think its OK.
But this helped verify that I could go FI, with a tune, and still pass e-check (with a cat installed).
I might just have to baby it all the way to the e-check station then.
Also... while replacing my clutch, I noticed my exhaust clamp was missing!
I'm pretty sure we reinstalled it last time it was off.
Maybe Brian and double-check his garage and see if we left it there.
And those "high performance" gaskets used before and after the mid-pipe (I think only John and I have those) can only be used a few times before they start falling apart.
Just had to order a set so I can reinstall the mid-pipe.
Speaking of mid-pipes and cats... I found out that the OEM and my mid-pipe both used an M10 stud/bolt/nut, but one uses a 1.25 thread pitch while the other was 1.5
I removed the two studs from the cat and tapped it out to match the bolts used on my mid-pipe... that way the hardware is also swappable.
Boy... does it feel weird to drive with an OEM clutch again, not to mention no mid-pipe or tune!

Strangely.... I still have the same "issue" with the pedal free-play at higher RPMs.
Though with the softer clutch, its more difficult to tell.
I might have to try this on someone else's car to see if this is something common, or just more noticeable with clutches that have a higher clamping force.
But besides the softer pedal feeling, everything else is the same.
