Very exited, 8.8 is coming along very nice. wiggins clamps on their way (ordered 1 first to see how the look/work), front of the car should be painted and installed this coming week, ID2000 are here. I'm definitely going to the track soon. first stop is the dyno and tune , 2nd stop 1/4 mile, the standing mile looks like a possibility and definitely detuned for some road racing.

I wish there was time, but we are currently working an a couple of projects at the same time plus my regular job and its getting hard to work on my car. But no worries the 8 will be better than ever and there will be more get togethers to attend. Plus I have finally decided its time for the 8 to be seen on the tracks. Maybe one day we can get together at the track and have some fun with the 8's amigo.

Good to hear it is being tracked. Our local 20B Turbo RX-8 owner tracks his fairly often and it is really great to see since it is a show car as well.

I desided to go the extra mile and get DSS axles, that was the only thing missing for me to track the car. Cant wait for them to get here.
The 8.8 is getting disassembled monday to get it ready for a detroit locker and new gears . And paint ofcourse when all the rest is done.
