left the camera on the car so just getting around to posting my last two (and fastest clean) runs from the 2011 El Toro Pro Solo, still kicking myself for not doing better ...

watching the car leave the line before the green is lit is a bit unnerving after the fact ...

Okay, smarta$$ - guess my statement wasn't clear enough - I said a search HERE came up empty, meaning a search on RX8Club forums came up empty. Of course I found Eastern's website and read through their information first, but that doesn't tell me jacksh!t about whether their cat works okay on an RX8, which we all know to be an issue with aftermarket cats. Make sense, or do I have to further clarify to avoid the douchebag comments?

I love it when people act as they accuse, guess you may not realize that j/k is intawebz for joke? Otherwise, settle down Beevis ...

TopGear was saying he may go to Joisey. I see one RX8 registered. Be dat U alzorz?

No dat not be me but I might go check out the event regardless. This is my first autox year.

Okay, I think I've got it, thanks for the explanation - adding a "j/k" to the end of a derogatory comment makes it okay to put people down at will.

You're a douchebag. (j/k)

TeamRX8

iTrader: (25)

in my case you don't have to joke, the diffference is my ego isn't dependent on your opinion, one day you may grow up and reach this understanding yourself ... no j/k

next time you may want to resort to sticks and stones ...

Master cylinder brace (MS Strut bar), STX legal?

lycanthrope

ha!
if your talking about this http://www.buymazdaparts.com/parts.c...de=rx8&catid=6 then yes.

TopGear8

iTrader: (3)

^No...

alz0rz

iTrader: (41)

Hrm, is that a no on the master cylinder brace?

lycanthrope

im not sure what brace you are looking at. how many connecting points does it have?

alz0rz

iTrader: (41)

You had the right link - the Mazdaspeed Strut Bar has a master cylinder brace.
I know running any strut bar is okay within the class but I was wondering about the brace functionality as that is really the only reason I was going to put it on for.

TopGear8

iTrader: (3)

Which makes it illegal for STX..IF the brace is connected.

alz0rz

iTrader: (41)

Boohoo.. thanks!








Brand new MS Strut Bar FS!

TopGear8

iTrader: (3)

I don't run a strut bar, neither does Sipe last time I checked...Not needed.

lycanthrope

if your car came with a brace that only has 2 connecting points you may only change to a brace that 2 as well. so if it has 3 or 4 or whatever then it is out of class and would put you in sp i think.

alz0rz

iTrader: (41)

yep, I agree on a car with double a arm suspension it's not necessary, the only thing I want to get out of it was the master cylinder brace. oh well!

TopGear8

iTrader: (3)

^Which would only really be noticed at braking speeds above 70. You really don't brake all that much at SOLO speeds.

Point taken. Hey TopGear8 are you going to come up to the NJ ProSolo next month?

I'm curious how you guys that didn't re-valve their Bilstein PSS9's and are using the paired springs are faring? Or just general input from anyone?

TopGear8

iTrader: (3)

^Not sure if i'll be there or not, I really want too...but the decision has not been made yet.

And Chike was happy with his PSS9 but found the spring rates it came with a little soft.
