I want to say I got $50+ per day for TDY in Norfolk back when I was still in and traveling about for training (and cost of living in Norfolk is NOTHING compared to anywhere in CA
).

Did they have you in a barracks with galley access or something? $15/day kinda sucks.. I figured it would be more in the $60+ range for Meals and Incidentals.

).I wish I had been making $50+ a day out there, it definitely would've helped haha. The air quality out there is god awful, I would run through a 12 pack of Gatorade in about 4 days (if I was being conservative,) valley fever (some weird fungal infection that has to be removed surgically,) the 35,000 acre wild fire, blistering heat (I'll take humidity any day,) and the airports (no, just no.) I could honestlynever go back and be perfectly fine with it. The whole TAD was screwed from day 1, but that's a whole different story haha.
Sorry for the long post lol

Had like 2-3 people I was chatting with at lunch. Although just had my air pump delete pulley go out so have to park it waiting for a part.

Anyone interested in buying my RX8? 2006 Shinka edition, 78,900 miles. Overall good condition and runs well, almost all stock. Looking to sell because I really don't need it and want the cash to spend on my 7. If you or someone you know is interested, message me.
For full disclosure: There was a time when I was hesitant about the engine, turns out it was just the ignition, replaced it and all is well again (eage8 knows about this
).

Derek - you play baby ! - seriously, love the look of your fender mirrors. When you DO finally look to the correct location and see through the mirror(s), do you see the marker light of the car in your blind spot -or- an entire headlight ? Bill

Tuning doesn't start until I drop it off tomorrow in virginia beach, as well as some other things getting done like cutting and welding rear quarters. It's hard to describe with those mirrors but it is something new for sure. Really just wanted mainly for looks anyway but for some reason I could only get them to go with the mirror switch backwards, so up is down and left is right.

I have just over 400 miles on my engine and hope to get it back to IRP in the spring for the power tune. The lack of a proper intercooler setup for a single turbo is whats holding my car back but past that I think we should see some similar numbers. Our biggest differences affecting power will be the turbo manifolds, IC setups, and exhausts. You can check out my build thread to see what I've got going on.
I'm a long way from reaching the traction and cooling capacity you have but my budget is now limited and I've only had the car driving for a month! I hope to make the spring cruise this year.

Hey, FWIW, I have a Crooked Willow (CWR) replica intercooler setup—custom Bell intercooler, with Ronin replica CF duct, and powdercoated (grey) cold side pipe and GReddy elbow. I made 430rwhp @15 psi on the setup.
LMK if you're interested, I've been lazy about listing it for sale because I hate shipping stuff.
I should be back at IRP for tuning in about a month. I'll be very interested to see if your setup has any boost creep issues... I had to have the turbine housing divider and wategate ported out. If yours doesn't, that will point to manifold design. I have suspicion that the ultra straight/short runner on the front of my manifold doesn't give good flow to that wastegate runner.
