Update:
I talked to the transport guy, and he said it took 5 hours to "get your car off the truck". He said since it rained between here and cali he had to take it to get it washed before Matson would accept it, and since the car was too low to fit in a car wash he had to get it hand washed. HEHE. Seeing how its "on the ship now" I assume Matson got it onboard with no problem... nonetheless I'm going to call on monday just to double check.

Welcome to Hawaii!
I know how you feel, my old '93 RX-7 crossed the pacific over 10 years ago when I moved here. It arrived safe and sound. I'll keep my eye out for your sharp looking RX-8. There's a very strong import tuner scene here, just as car crazy as So. Cal. Have fun!
And good luck with school! UH does have a strong MBA program for Int'l Business. (My line of work takes me to Japan almost monthly.) Also, I believe UH's Marine Biology program is one of top in the nation as well.

Dominion,

I got the car back in perfect condition. The shipping people took my sunglasses, which kind of pisses me off... cuz they were freakin player. Oh well... i'll give them a call on monday and see what they can do about it. Overall its alright tho, since the car is ok... i'm happy. I need to wash/polish it, then I'll put up some pics of the car in the noon scenary soon.

i want boost but dont have the money for it........I'm gonna need to some help finding a qualified Rotary Tuner here. I can tell its running lean at the moment. Its not too lean that its too dangerous to drive, but im not gonna really let it open up until I get it tuned. If there are enough rotary owners interested we can easily bring Scott (Mazsport) or Steve Khan (Gotham Racing) in for a tuning session. That would be pretty bad*ss.
