Well you prob wont break the axles or diff, but everything else? lol

Your car is what every Rx8 owner on here wishes it was. I think its even more badass than a FD lol. Now you just need to work on that body

Its on the table. RGonza talked me into going Semiperipheral. His car has flaps at the semiperipheral ports opening with servos, controlled with the Haltech to open at his preferred rpm. So the car behaves normal until the Vtech kicks in. LOL..I mean the flaps open and vuala, fuel is going straight to the gut.. That car makes mine look like a toyota tercel man. So it has been on the planning table for a while, but the engine is working like a charm, Why take it out? right..

Apparently the left cv joint suffered Sunday when the two axles broke. Was getting the car detailed for the meet tomorrow and it popped just moving the car forward. Ive had this problem before with them cracking on me. I'm **** out of luck. 8.8 will be in sooner than i thought. Cant keep up with this crap.

I wish it was an 8 but i cant spend all the money buying the car, I have to have some to complete the project. Otherwise it wouldn't be called a project.
