Then I give you permission to act like them on this one day of the year.....throw away all your professionalism for one day and join us for the fun. Is my psychology working on you yet?

You've got 5 weeks to work your magic with these "special" colleagues of yours.

@Cesar: My RX-7 hasn't been to Redlands in a while. I usually wave or flash my headlights when I see someone I know.

@people interested in the CX-7:
I spent a few nights driving a preproduction CX-7 at my old job, they've got a very smooth powerband, hardly any turbo lag (even compared to my RX-7 TT). I didn't know it was turbocharged until someone told me it was, you can't hear it or anything. The CX-7 pulls harder than an RX-8 (and a non-turbo Mazda6) at low RPMs, but the 8 feels faster above 4k RPMs.

Michael, it looks like the price of the MS wing has gone UP since I installed mine. are you planning on adding the aero pkg or just the wing?

lol.. this thread has turned into the zaino/recall thread..lol

just an update, to my knowledge, the only big things i now need to buy for the car to be driveable is the turbo feed line and return line ($200).. and i figure $300 in misc. things that ill have to buy (bolts, hose clamps, vacuum line.. blah blah).. so im fairly confident she will be ready!!!!!

well, since it's been this long I think I would just avoid telling the rest of the forum. It will only lead to flaming remarks by some wondering why you waited so long to say something, blah blah.

I think they're on a need to know basis and they don't need to know.

I just wanted to let everybody know that I opened up my engine to day. So now I hope I can build it back up before seven stock 9. The last motor had an stuck Apex seal.

Yes, the rear strut bar is awsome...similar to the Autoexe one we can get for our 8's. Definately a nice looking, and functional bar. But a pain in the rear to get in....good thing Jessie has girly sized hands.....there was no way I was going to get my man hands in that tiny space to mount the bottom bracket
