Did you find a hide-away towing hitch for that monster already? Maybe we could assemble an Australian "Road Train" and all of us just hitch on!! lol.

Steve raised his rate to $350 USD this year, which is still an incredible rate for how well he tunes. Also, regarding street tuning, Steve likes to do a 4th gear pull to redline when tuning FDs, which takes you up close to 140 MPH or ~230 KPH. Not for the faint of heart, or those with bad tires and suspension pieces

Good luck. Steve will be here in Phoenix next weekend to tune. I'll let you know how things go!!

Plenty of places for 140+ pulls. just so happen Autobahn 62 is 5 minutes drive away from me and some sections of it has no speed limits

As long as you are on the roads mid day on weekends there's plenty of space to open it up.

Up here I have autobahn 3 and autobahn 5 near the airport which are both wide open 4 lanes 1 way.

Ok....I know this is an old thread now, but I'm in as well if we can get all the people that were intrested in this going. With all the cars people are talking about we should have just about enough people to do it. And I don't care where it's at. A long drive would be worth it to have Steve touch my car. Is anyone still interested in this or what?

Everything is stock right now. I will appearently have to order any aftermarket parts I want from the states, so I'm not sure what I will get at this point. I can't even get an oil pan gasket here (That I know of...). Any advice that you guys could give me here would be greatly appreciated.

And are you 100% sure it needs one? I would pay 20 bucks to have it steamed on base and check for sure... Let me or AF1 know and we can help.

Well the car has been sitting for about 2 years, so I really want to replace it, just to be safe. And where is this Mazda Trix place? I haven't checked the Mazda dealer yet because I just got their number today, but I really doubt they can get one due to the fact that it's an almost 20 year old car, but you never know. My mom is going back to the states this summer and I'm going to send her with a shopping list full of stuff to bring back to me. Also I need rims real bad and at this point I have resigned myself to having to order them from the states. I went to that K69 place on B40, but they don't have **** for me (Unless I want to ghetto bling my RX....which I don't). That's the only rim shop I've been able to find. I'm sure there's more around here, but I don't know my way around to well yet so I'm kind of at a loss there. My car will be black very soon and I want some tuner style, 2 piece, black rims with a chrome lip. Everything I've seen has been full chrome and way to much bling for me. My car should be out of the shop (hopefully) by the end of the week so maybe we can hook up and you can show me where some shops are around K-town. Maybe we can show those B40 cats what rotarys are all about.


P.S. LOL, I don't think AF1 likes me for some reason cuz he hasn't responded to any of my direct posts to him. He must be to good for the likes of me.........

Nothin is wrong with the motor really, it runs strong as hell. Just the guy that had the car before me installed the throwout bearing wrong... so i ordered all new stuff. Hopefully i can make it up there soon to see what my car does on the track. cell # 491601076016

Oh duh you were refering to the possable rebuild. Well i was just informed it will be nearly impossable to ship the car back to the states becasue it doesnt have any smog equitment. So unless the motor busts, i dont think i will spend any more money then needed to keep her goin
But! AF1 needs a rebuild and is bein lazy we need to motivate him to get his car on the road again...
