I've always like the looks of those cars. Still not sold on doritos. A turbo K-Swap could be a lot of fun.

I think Doc needs more drivers...

Doritos are the best

I ran the RX-8 for the first time today. Pulled off second in PAX and won STX! It's kind of a hot mess suspension wise, lowering springs on blown stock shocks, but if you drive it like an H Street Civic it's kinda ok? It does sweepers really well but transitions like crap.

My fastest clean run:



My fastest dirty run (a few tenths faster but mostly got luckier with the car doing what I wanted:

Looks like in it's current config it needs more aggressive inputs. Bit faster on the wheel and more binary on the throttle? Toss and catch.

Yep, figured that out by the end of the day. Was not pleasant to drive like that haha.

RX8 Performance motor mounts! My girlfriend bought these and helped install them. Essentially no NVH increase and way less flop from the engine. Even with new OEM mounts the engine was pretty floppy and that's all gone now! I still need to do diff mount bushings but that's quite a messy install so maybe down the road.



Also, picked up some sweet JDM goodness thanks to Mazda Motorsports offloading wheels from their stillborn TCR project. These are 18x10 so they'll just be my nice street wheels.

Need pics of the girlfriend, preferably with a wrench in her hand.

Do it now, Ken.
