I have one also, I got tired of pulling a housing and a rotor out to explain the movements of the engine. Keychain is easier and lighter.
BTW, looks like the weather is not going to cooperate with us this weekend.

I told my wife to fill up the Mazda P5 and I filled Yellow 2 last night. I am getting 17.3 MPG. Is that good or good? 79 Yellow 2 has a stock Nikki carb, RB header and RB muffler, no emissions. A/C belt is also on. What you 1st genners think?

My average on the GSL-SE is 20-21 all the time. It was about 16 when the wires to the ACV had broken the solenoid was not working.

Do I need to lean out a little? I think I can but it's running so good where it's at, I wonder if I will mess it up. Maybe 17 is not bad for it.

I realized we sorta screwed up by planning the event Saturday. The RX8 club is having a meet at the same time at Awful Arthurs. So if you can't get over to our meet, try to make it to theirs.
But FWIW, Our event for Saturday is still on. Saturday at 6:00PM at the Hooters on Mercury.... BTW I was there last night and verified they are still in business... Now all that has to happen is everyone needs to show up!!!!!

Bah, I meant Sebring, and i'm in the Sebring Chateau de Elan right now.....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm thinking about renting one of the Panoz race cars for a few laps.....probly a bit pricey though.
It's nice to see the brand spanking new Gallardo sitting outside though.

Today I found out how much of a TURD an Acura NSX was. $89,000 worth of car getting eaten up by a 2003 Mustang Cobra with exhaust....all day long.

Well, I finally made it to one of the meets!!!!!!! I saw Calvin again after a few years of not seeing him, I saw Dan and last but not least, I met Johnny. Had a good time, they even came to the house to see the garbage I have here, so you guys should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good seeing Cal & yoshi again, and meeting everyone else.
To duane and Kenny, Couldn't make the meet because of the wife, or a girl?
I've heard of "**** block" but never a RX block. hahah
To Fransisco good luck on the move, I heard from a "friend" that you are leaving town because you are scared of a certian station wagon. ( can you tell I hung out w/ Jerry) ha.
Jerry Im betting on the wagon
Pretty uneventful drive home except terrible accident on 58 outside of suffok east bound was blocked and it appeared to have mutilpal fatalitys. (laying in the road)ugg.
and about 30 miles from home the fog sat in so I was cruising at 40 mph visibilty about 10 ft
Take care
Johny
