Yea, I heard about the diesel thing. I haven't seen it yet but the motor for the trike once ran on it at one time. Very interesting stuff. Damit I can't wait to get back on that project. Well back to painting my house. When house is done and painted I can continue on.

hope its a one story home!
Rather take a beating.
news---you cant replace the fuel rail gas line fittings. You have to buy the intire line. The fuel rail to fuel rail line is approx $37
the line to the fuel rails from the firewall located connection is approx $57.
damn.
That rotary power mx 5 sure looks sweet and you should see the room in the engine bay.
we need a bigger idler pulley to help increase the contact patch of the belt on the blower pulley--any ideas?
If you can swing it get the 09 injectors. Juan is the man.

Has there been any updates to the stock pulley flash over the last several months? I haven't used my EFI Dude since last year, but I am currently trouble shooting a problem and I want to take my F'd up tuning with the AP out of the equation.

ok thanks for the tip-- the bigger pulley on a road race course needs a little help, on street and drag race/aut0cross--its prob ok? I did find a way to modify the a/c idler so it fits also. and oh yea i also found a way to use the rear engine hoist bracket as a flywheel stop when putting the flywheel on and off![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The 09 engine when race prepped is getting more hp and the injectors are thought to be the key. This is in europe and I havent confirmed, but i heard 260hp.

Well, some might be happy to hear I fabed up a slick bracket for the OMPs today. Its only taking minor touches for the conversions. It turned out that the OMP mount shows them proudly.

does belt dressing stuff work with our belts? Or will it disintegrate them and cause us to blow up? (I am paranoid about everything)
The description says "the cord fibers of "V" belts"..... wassat mean?

Tailgaters beware
I have not yet tried to top end the combination with the larger pulley. Having a few tuning issues (not the pulleys fault) and some slippage of the belt on the new pulley. I should have the tuning issue fixed in a couple of weeks and I am working on the slippage problem (any of you with the large pulley have the same problem?)
Before the new pulley and the meth spray I was able to get to 153 on a Nevada Road race (to Laughlin Nevada) but aerodynamics took over and I became unstable (airborne).
edit: I had pedal left but no ***** - I'm not sure how to drive (fly) an plane

my install has hit a roadblock.
I ALWAYS have trouble getting the trans back in--i can get it to that last inch(pilot bearing?) and then it just doesnt want to go any further. Took it back out tonight--cussed it out and damned it to hell.
Went inside and cleaned the kitchen and ate ice cream--i dont know why.
Figured I may as well fab up some guides for it before i touch it again. Its such a light trans--dont know why i have the trouble i do with it.
and yes the spline is aligned, grease is on, used an old driveshaft yoke for the sst to turn it when needed and it did engage
sigh.

Denny, try this incantation:
(clench face into sneering mask of contempt and disgust)"You miserable mother(fornicating) piece of sh*t eating rat-bastard jeasly-eyed son of a beeyatch, I (urinate) on the graves of your ancestors that crawled up out of the slimy swamps to do nothing better than curse my life with your (fornicating)(Supreme Being)-damned Mother (fornicating)* miserable (fornicated)* you twisted deceitful piece of crap..."
(*degenerating into a seemingly every other word usage of the f-bomb only enhances the power of this incantation)
Feel free to ad-lib at this point as this is the main part of the spell, but don't deviate from the main body too much as undesired concequences may occur, such as striking expensive parts with expensive tools and causing small neighborhood children to dial 911. The blast radius of this curse is about 10 feet, so make sure your dogs are a safe distance before you use it. Finally, if you can make blood shoot out of your eyes and/or get some spit to fly off your lips, it usually helps. You'll know you've been successful when the item in question begins to glow a dull orange color; repeat as needed.
Good Luck!

HA!!!
Enjoyed the hell out of that!! Book marked it and I am copying it to give to my fellow trackmates!
NP with the dogs--they recognize the need to convert to the observe status only while munching on a cat turd.
Guess what---it worked!!! Except it didnt really glow orange--guess it was because the blood and saliva didnt come out? But the cursed object is IN!
I think i saw the wheels shake a little?
GREAT!!

There ya go. Glad to be of help; although, speaking for myself, I always find it pleasurable when I have to work to get that last inch in ![Smoker](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smoker.gif)
