Looking to buy a nice set of stock GSL-SE wheels if any one has any.

glyphon, I might have to just buy your SE just for the wheels lol.

I saw this on Facebook and thought I'd share, I believe it's from DGRR 2012

Well now there you go, photographic proof that SkyActiv qualifies as rotary powered - that's Flipper back there between those two FD's.

Must be 2013, since I purchased Flipper in May of 2012.

Could that be Mike leading the Pack, natural leader that he is?

Looks like some folks are going racing over at Road Atlanta this weekend:

I think it might be time for an eye exam Ray. Flipper is between two FEs in that picture.

Well OK, but it still counts as a rotary.

Ray's on the right track, with that is not 2012 DGRR, it is the Atlanta crew driving across the Blue Ridge Parkway for B3R in October, 2012. Wild drive across the Blue Ridge Parkway with the clouds coming over the road at one point. That was Mike's and Ray's 1st and only B3R.

Are you sure Holly?

I could have sworn I was at the 2013 DGRR last month, wasn't that the one where Trey tried to rearrange one of those truck rims with his forehead?

It's not a race... That's what they kept telling us. But, one of the OGTA cars got waive by from a Viper.

Is 5900 to much for a 390hp turbo SA?

Nope, it was the much less desirable trembling blue metallic,(isn't that what you call it Mike?) and I have to say that in spite of the disadvantage of the color it represented OGTA well!

Yeah, the trembling blue metallic car also went down the track doing circles a couple of time too. Not a very fast way to go. But, you get great views of the other cars that way.

But at least we know you got your moneys worth. Just think of all the guys out there that spent all weekend and never found the limit of their cars. You were way to smart to spend your weekend and not know just exactly where the limit was.

And you should also get bonus points for "freestyle drifting"!!!!!!.

I found the limits of my SA one time on an off ramp of the Garden State Parkway in NJ. Luckily it
was a 270 deg spin without any damage, except the stain in the seat.

Anyone out there with a soldering iron, willing to help me out? My temperature control in the Rx-8 is whacky. Strange thing is, Andy just ask me a few weeks ago if I ever had that problem, and now I do. It sure was cold driving to and from work the other day. Now I can't seem to get it in the hot zone. Here's the fix:

Brett, do you have any free time, that you might be willing to help?

Now this is what you need to get the wife Brett. This thing had some very, umm, unique one off mods.

Yes it can be replaced. Its getting the electrical system sealed up to keep it in that's the hard part.
