I have sunlight silver with a vented cf hood. You aren't parked on 5th street right now are you?

I don't think I've seen yours. Are you looking to get it fixed or to replace it?

Nope, not me. Must be the other Ti Gray one I see all the time.

I'm going to repair it. Everything is fine with it except the power steering. I hit a curb which damaged the 2 driver side wheels and then some of the rear suspension parts, got all that fixed and then the power steering failed and the dealership that was repairing it quoted $4000 to repair it = my car became totaled...
I cleaned all the plugs and that only got it on for about a half hour, so now I've ordered the harness and I'll see how that goes.

Are those any good as track wheels? Did you notice any under steer with the staggered set up?
Any life left in the tires?

I don't track my car so I can't tell you if they under or oversteer at the limits. As far as spirited daily driving on both highway and back roads, the setup is very smooth and responsive.

I think I may have seen you going down Market a few days ago. I saw a ti-grey RX8 with a really loud exhaust down near 3rd st.

If it was sometime around 5pm, it was probably me. I go home through downtown at least once a week.

Haha yeah, I have a lot of body roll, especially now with the new tires, I think I may need to start asking Ben about those coil overs he was sitting on

The coils I have are PowerTrix. Think a forum member here is running it on his SCCA class winner RX-8.

Hey locals, I have a new Cobb AccessPort I'd like to sell locally.
Bought it a couple of years ago and never used it because I have another that I am using.
For local folks only: $450. This is $516 delivered if you buy a new one from Mazdamaniac.
Pick up would be in or near Timonium or Bel Air. Drop me a PM.

Thanks.


Grrr. Idiots at IB have apparently reduced our attachment quota by more than half, so I can't post a pic right now.
