Half bridge the RX8 and turbo the hell out of the FC. Thats just my opinion.

I might end up selling the 8. I'm just going to wait til I get back before I make a final decision. Better to think of these ideas when I have the money to do it.

I want an RX8 again. No cash to get one though. Either way I know you are going to have a sick vehicle when you return.

FD is back in action but the FC is still deadlined with a bum radiator. Stuck in WLC at the moment so I can't really get out and do anything.

I'm sure I wont. You know, I do have my RX8 for that (which I plan on boosting as well)

Oh Pat, if you're not deploying. I can probably just cannibalize my Koyo radiator for you to borrow. But I need help trying to get my damn clutch working again. Stupid pedal sticks on the floor and the clutch refuses to engage.

I need to figure out a plan on taking my car to storage someplace before I can take out the radiator. I'm at the St. Louis airport right now heading back to Killeen today.

Hello Gents, I've been at Hood since spring '08 (minus 12 months in afghannyland) but I just got my FD out of storage. Its not *quite* street legal in Texas, but it should be within a week or so. Great to see there are active rotary guys in the area on the forum, I've definitely seen some beautiful RX's in the greater Killeen area, and I hope to make it out to some meets in the near future.

Josh

I am still in the area. Just working on the cars and getting ready to head out to your AO. Maybe we will cross paths early next year again.
