He does. Quite nice.

In reference to what he was talking about...I've been screwing around and ahve started running 100 octane...brought the boost up to 18...and there's a hell of a noticable difference.

Haha...yeah. He can make us omlets.

So far, including me, it's four of us. You (the 8) two 7s (Dave and I) and an NSX (Brian). On the way, we'll pic up Nic from Ft Wayne. He's a 7 as well. As far as the rest of them...who knows. I've got yesses (sp), but you know how it goes. I dunno if Steve's going. I'll call him tomorrow.

Christian,
I have to drop unfortunately. I am unable to take off work due to the fact that so many already have taken it off for the long weekend, and I'm low on the priority list of who gets vacation when. If for some reason I can get out early I will drive up from work and meet up with you guys as my work is only about an hour away. If for some reason there's a miracle and I can get the day off I'll call you and meet you somewhere on I-94. I'll let you know.
-Nic

Yeah I know I suck... besides I don't think the car would pass tech the way it sits right now... If I can fix that stuff and get the day off I'll call you. Otherwise I hope to make it up there on the 23rd for their night test and tune. Which would be another option for you guys if the weather ends up being bad.

I am very sad.
To lose 4 rotary guys in the midst of a resurgence in popularity, of the rotary, in the states is a shame. My condolences to their families. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say please don't sell their cars to 16 year olds without the patience, knowledge, or money necessary to preserve such unique automobiles. To the families I offer my assitance. If the sight of your loved ones rx is to much to endure I would be more than willing to take the cars into my care. It would be no trouble at all. For my service I would not require payment, the knowledge that I would be helping a fellow human being would be reward enough.

To everyone who stayed at home and played Grandtourismo4, no, it's not the same. It was the best spent $300 you could imagine.

Rut is the NSX
Impactwrench is the FD with the turbo issue
Joyridevr6 has the 8
I'm the other FD.

James,

Got your message. RA would be cool. We'll see if I'm still on the road at that point. I heard about the Autobahn thing too. I dunno if that seems worth it though. It's only a lap or two for the round IIRC.

To those who missed it...yeah...it was fun as hell....though I'd love to get better than my ~1:45 laps. Played with the suspension a little and seemed to help. I definitely need better tires. Lotsa Miatas, and a sweet Porche GT2 (which was being towed back by a Cayanne S no less).

I had some issues with my IC piping continually popping off, but I think that was resolved for the time being.
