As far as the track day: I'm trying to get the RX8 guys to join us. Right now the most we've had has been 15 people and I'm sure we can get close to the required number for a fun track day. It's all a matter of getting the interest out there. 350 bux is nothing compared to the hefty fines from street racing and it's more fun for a longer period of time. If anything, just keep it in mind. So if any event comes up like Don's T-hill day we get as many BARC guys to sign up.
here's Haz^^

Got a problem guys.

Was riding in traffic today. Battery Volts shoot to 8. Crap starts to work slowly (window wipers, radio turns off, climate control gets weak)

But then when im out of traffic volts jump to 12 and everything works normal again. But when im sitting at a standstill for a little bit. Volts go to 8.

Any ideas?

I'm thinking the alternator is going. I had the same problem with the volts spiking and dropping, and I changed the alternator and that fixed it. Check the battery terminals, too, make sure nothing has come lose and everything is connected properly.

If it is the alternator, AutoLectrics is a good place ($85 for a rebuilt alt).

+1. I second this. Ck your batt terminals first and if they're tight, replace the alternator.

Odds are its the alternator, but even so, I assume you have an FC, if the battery cables havent been changed in a few years I would goahead and do those too

It's your internal voltage regulator going out on the alternator.

Just swap in another ALT or rebuild it.
Easy.

Haz would give you the keys to his car without thinking twice. And I gotta agree. The ride up Grizzly Peak in the 8 was so much fun! I was disappointed you didn't make it to Thunderhill, because I was hoping I'd get to ride shotgun—both of us!

I agree. Middle top looks plain. But other than that the designs are sick.

John: i thought of doing black but it is so typical. I actually like black shirts more, I'll make a black one with your suggestion of adding something on the left chest area.

What kind of polo designs are you looking for? When I think of poloss I think of just a simple clear logo/slogan on the chest area.
