"working from home" to pull the Rx7 out of storage tomorrow, supposed to be in the 70s! Its up on jack stands 30 miles away and I haven't seen it in 4 months but I expect everything to be in working order. I have never checked this event out but sounds fun, maybe I'll stop by.

Hey FunK73... I take back what I said about not needing your intermediate pipe, haha. RockAuto's retarded and they don't update their online catalog unless someone clicks on "Add to Cart", so both of those options I mentioned tonight are a dead-end. How soon are you doing that transmission swap, so I can rob it from you? lol

Also I totally didn't catch your name, but you're a cool dude.

I didnt catch yours either haha. Its Jon.

Transmission and rear end are This weekend. Exhaust SHOULD be next week but i found a bulge in one of my tires so i got set back $500 i wasnt intending to spend. I should still be able to get it done though.

I would have to sell you both the pipe and muffler since the muffler flange is ddifferent. The exhaust has maybe 50k miles on it and ill take my extendo-tips off for you as well if you like.

350 yeah I do! It's a large rotor with a piston in the middle crossed out, I have one on the hatch and one on my small quarter window on the passenger side. Ok, I felt like a douche tonight because I was in the middle of leaving the Mobil gas station in Isanti tonight (in a hurry to get home from easter to get some more progress on my gauge pod) and I saw a silver RX8 with a carbon fiber spoiler, possibly a body kit, and maybe aftermarket rims. A taller, average-sized guy was driving it with sunglasses and a short, spiky haircut with lighter hair. This may have been your friend 350, or maybe someone else on here knows him or maybe is him! Or else, does your buddy drive a black RX8? I see that car about once a week in Cambridge.

Anyways, I can't make it this week either as I work again I believe. I'll have to schedule a Wednesday off soon!
