The current CW on the forum is that if you keep it below 3500 RPM it will make a big difference, [insert knowledegable discussion of port programming here] but I'm not sure I really buy that. My experience with my 8 has been driving habits will only change things by 1 or 2 mpg.
On the other hand, you could change your handle to 3-K Rever ....

In anyone interested in a Fog-light Fest?
I would like to do the re-wiring to enable the fog lights when just the parking lights are on. The standard wiring only enables fog lights when the head lights are on. There is a pretty good thread where someone made the change over.
In that the trick is doing it the first time, we can probably do 3 or 4 cars as easily as just doing one. I can probably even supply the few parts needed.

Nah..I am not a apperence mod person. I am trying to figure out how I can afford a $1700 titanium exhaust.
If I do that, then I have to figure out how I am going to eat and pay my car note for about two months....
Any idea guys?? What do you think about giveing blood?
Or selling Chiro's RX8 for parts at Chesterfeild Auto Parts?

So who else is having problems with their speakers buzzing? My cars going in Monday, and the girl in service knew exactly what I was talking about when I asked to have it looked at...

I say you should leave it dead and let me come over with my tool box so I can take some parts over to CAP and start my TITANIUM EXHAUST fund...
You know you aren't going to use those nice 18 inch tires...

I usualy blip the throttle and let it sit before I turn it off...you can hear the gas drain from the houseing... but today I bliped too much..and when I went to start the car... talk about sputering...
Kinda scared myself..didn't want to have to yank plugs it the parking lot at work..
