Hey Charlie:

Long time no hear. Honestly I don't know yet. My buddy that helped me with the swap drove it back from his place to mine and once I got it back I put it straight to storage. Overall it went along smoothly. There's a couple of issues like the coolant buzzer keeps comes on even though the filler neck is full (we're suspecting that its probably the wire's cut somewhere in the engine harness), it idles @ 2K and it hunts in gear (possible vacuum leak in the TB or UIM area), my aftermarket gauge lights dont come on when I turn on the lights (I probably severed the line when we were ripping out the shifter), and we have to bleed the brakes/clutch...and I think thats about it.

Sorry guys I didn't have all the info (From RX8Club):

*** This event requires pre-registration and a $20 pre-payment by 2/23/08.

This is because for the event to work well, we will need to reserve a court. Court reservations are by the hour and to reserve a court more than a week in advance we need to reserve it for at least 2 hours.

The cost will be $20 per person and will include approximately 1 hour of court time. Since there are only 10 people on the court at a time, if we have 12 people show up and a court reserved for an hour, obviously someone isn't going to play the full hour.

The court will only be reserved based on people that have prepaid by 02-23-08. For every 10 people the court will be reserved for 1 hour.

If you don't prepay, you are still welcome to join us at the meet, but you may not be able to get any court time in. It will depend on how much time we have reserved and how busy the place is after our reservation ends.

You are welcome to bring others and if they plan on playing then they will also have to prepay. Just add them to the list and that they are associated with you and you will be responsible for getting their money to me.

Let's get as many people as we can out for the first event of the year!

**
If you guys are interested, PM me.

Hi folks, this event is this weekend. Also the meet time changed from 2pm to 4:30pm due to availability of the court. Pre-registration is over, but people is more than invited to hangout. Most likely we'll go somewhere afterwards.
