Elliot at www.turblown.net carries custom setups for RX8 bolt on turbo kits. Specify what you want, and he can make it.

 

Just got off the phone with Elliot. Now it's time to save some money haha

 

I'll swing by next time I see the garage open.

+1 for BBQ!



on another note...i just picked up some '98 Mustang Cobra wheels w/tires for $150. score! they don't look too bad on my FC.

 

Cool. Tell him Ty (rez) sent you.

 

Am I the only guy who noticed the abundance of ***** on the walls of this shop?

On another note, how y'all doing? Its been awfully quiet in here lately. *cricket cricket*

 

Haha someone finally noticed..posted that one for a reason..Just got my car back from the body shop. New Turbo kit is currently being built. Nice weather is here, any local projects going on?

 

i think most people were distracted by your car. haha.

the weather has been awesome lately! still plan on throwing that meet?

 

absolutely...guys feel free to throw out dates your all available or can't make it. I'm thinking about sometime at the end of next month and possibly on a Sunday.

 

I've been out in the gulf of Mexico for 5 weeks, missing my FD and the VC weather! What are the specs of your new turbo kit Greg's, any pics after the body work?

 

When are you coming back to town? I went with a precision ball bearing 6266 with billet compressor wheel, precision 44mm external wastegate. It's still going to be a bottom mount on a ss manifold. Just put the SSR wheels back on, I'll shoot some pictures this weekend.

 

yo greg...i heard you go down my street awhile ago. car is sounding good!

 

thanks! feels good to drive the car again.

 

I could only imagine.

 

Yeah I have my drift project going on. Just got rotary aviation seals and gasket kit for my re motor ordered cryo one piece corner seals and side seal springs. couple more things to order for my block like bearings and cryo side seals. Then send my t72 to turbonetics for new turbine wheel and 115 turbine housing. when I come back in August from this 2 month deployment ill get cracking on it again. Got some pics up in my thread.

Hopefully be back in a couple weeks. You going to re route or open dump your wastegate?

Project looks good piston killa, there are going to be some mean rotaries around the area soon!

a couple track pics from last month

 

awesome builds..I'm planning on re routing my wastegate. The car is already loud can't imagine how crazy it would sound open dump on the street. haha

 

Thanks guys. Sweet builds as well.

 

This thread shouldn't die.

So...how's everyone doing? Plans for the summer?

 

The VC must be dead lately! Not just for rotaries tho, a similar thread on a bimmer forum I go to is dead too and its usually really active.

 

I have been soo distracted with family and work has picked up to the point where I am working very long hours. I just got my brand new Bride buckets back from upholstery. The quality of the stitching and material is on nice and tight. I had a local shop that normally does Hot Rods do the work. Very satisfied with the outcome.

 

Took some pictures with some good friends with RX8's today here's a couple of teasers..btw these were taken in Ventura

 

^seats are looking mighty fine!


on another note, i need to start buying **** for my bday bbq/car meet extravaganza this weekend.

any summer time meets coming up in VC? kind of tired of going out to LA all the time.

 

Looks like we just missed a pretty large event at paradise Chevy in Ventura. Sounds like they have them every third Sunday of the month. I'll post more details once I find out.

 

Damn, those seats look awesome. As for local meets I just stumbled across a site called www.vcrides.com and they have a page for upcoming shows and events with a ton of stuff on it.

 

nice link..that's alot of local meets
