Encountered a moron today in his FD rx7. I was in the left left turn lane going under an underpass in Herndon. At the next light the rx7 driver pulls up next to me and starts saying how impressed they were with how "I did that back there". I was pretty perplexed and initially had no idea what the **** they were talking about. Then I suddenly realized they were being sarcastic and were trying to make fun of me. Just wanted to let you know that I have straight pipes on my car...literally headers to nothing but a pipe...this + high revving v8 * underpass = very loud noises. I was not showing off, it's just how loud my car is. Anyways, nice wing on your car. Which airport do you primarily fly out of? IAD?

FYI to anyone who's interested, I just got off the phone with Brian and we discussed getting him down here to tune some cars. He said at least 3-4 people would be good, we can pick a shop that has a dynojet and then work out cost.
Are any of you guys interested?

you should go anyway though, David Lane (FB driver) is super nice and will show you the ropes
That's David Lane's car. He bought it new, it's really nice. It's a GSL-SE with a cartech turbo kit on it.
He let me co-drive it about a year ago when my car broke on the way to an event, it drives really nice and was surprisingly easy to throw around the course.

I want some tuning for the Auto FD. But, I have a lot of goodies that need to go on first and I also need a new fuel system. Not sure that I would have the car done in time unless this is happening in December/January

Uggghhhhh.....the dreaded emissions fail. It use to be fairly easy to pass but now they're getting stricter as we near classic car status. Effing VA. Just got the FD fixed up nicely at PBC Auto too, and looking forward to driving it...but they can't get it to pass.
Matt - I know you had some emissions issues earlier. Did you end up getting it passed?
Does anyone have a working pre-cat I can borrow....or another option would be to register it in WV. Has anyone gone the latter route?
Looking forward to the Fall Drive. Hopefully, I can make it this year!!

Didn't realize it doesn't even have to be WV...as only NoVA and its suburbs require emissions. I think I found a fix as I have an address I can use in Spotsylvania County. My troubles could be over.

Yes, that Brian!
Did you get your car back together? Interested at all if he comes to the area?
If I can get 2-3 others interested we can probably work out some preliminary pricing after we find a convenient shop for us all in the area that has a Dynojet and won't jam our *** on renting the dyno.

I don't have my car back together yet, but I'll be picking up the rest of my engine bits for stacking on the 1st. Then once thats done it'll be going up to Brian for fab and wiring plus some other misc bits
If the timing works right you can def add me to the local tune list, otherwise I'll rendezvous with Brian at Speed1 for a one-off tune session. I'll coordinate directly with Brian regarding if I'll be able to make his session with you

What are your thoughts on an RX-8?
I am thinking about getting a newer daily driver and was looking at my options. Wanted something fun to drive and prefer backseats (just in case I would need them, no kids...yet). Was thinking about getting a 2010/11 RX-8 GT. At this price point "the boss" will let me keep the FB. But it would be nice if the new car can replace the FB for autox and possibly a track day or two.
