There were 3 total in the lot. Eclpse was neither of them. One of them had a K&N and a Billy Boat (B&B) exhaust. He seemed like he was annoyed or something. And dipped out almost as soon as he got there. I didn't get to ask him anything else. there was also an older dude with an automatic and a K&N. He did not park in the lot. The blue one was a GT like mine.
Anyhow, it is every friday starting at 6. Last weekend of the month is supposed to be the 'real mazda' club of south florida meet. Read my post above about that. Can't wait to hear the mid pipe.

LMAO. I was the reason that guy was annoyed. He claimed he was putting out about 230. I had to burst his bubble when I told him that with the intake, midpipe, and catback I only threw down 173. lol. My friend gave him the phone when I asked what he had.
As far as hearing the midpipe you're gonna have to wait. It seems my tranny is pretty FUBAR. I don't know when I'll have the car back. Time for a mazdaspeed clutch & flywheel. :D

Eclps, $hit dude...feel better! You have a rain cloud following you, don't you?
Para, sorry to hear about the trainy. The B&B exhaust on that dude's car sounded nice though. He got off the nextel with you and sped off.

Sorry to hear about that eclps. Just hop in the 8 and open it up a bit. The intake sound should make you feel better. ![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
btw, how are you liking the intake so far? Notice a difference?
Yeah. So my tranny won't go into 1st or 2nd unless the car is rolling, and 5th is completely shot. Pretty sure it's a bent linkage and major synchro damage caused by my friend missing a HARD 1-2 shift. I don't totally blame him. I've done it many times myself. His was just the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. And yes, he does know how to drive stick. He owns an immaculate 93 rx7 that's pretty modified. He's agreed to help out if necessary. I just hope I get the car back fast. I'll probably have them do the recalls on it while it's in too.

I'm pretty sure when my friend missed the shift he bent the linkage or the forks. Everything else, like the synchros and the gears themselves seem fine. There doesn't seem to be any unnatural noise coming from the tranny while in motion. I'll know more tomorrow hopefully. It may be down for a while to get the recall work while it's in.

beats me. I threw out the flyer. there wasn't an official 'real mazda' web site, but the dude posting it had some website with his protege on it. It may be bigger than I think. Or it might be a joke. Who knows. It wasn't asking for money or anything. I am sure you will see them friday if you go. Anyone want to start the 'real rx-8 club?' we can make t-shirts.
