So who is for certain coming to the meet saturday?? Id like to make a roll car just to be safe. Also who may come. Some of the Rx8 guys are bailing out so i just want to make sure we have at least a few people. Otherwise ppl can stop by at my place and just chill in the garage.

Also just met somebody at performance concepts(on tour of shop) that road races a rotary and is from Marion. Apparently he has a nice setup but i didn't get to ask him much about it. I just know he works or knows owner there, and lives in Marion. Anyone know him?? id like to look into his setup some more, since he claims PPs are not good for road racing and his bridge is better. lol

Ian do you have time to powder coat and intake manifold for me this is what color I want it. I think it's called like crinkle red or some ****?? I'm getting an extra intake manifold from a local guy so I can get one powder coated then when we do the tgv's on my car I will have a very pretty intake to put on it
