Just a couple of odds and sods on the side - not sure exactly what yet, but I already have all the MoTeC gear.

Glenn, have CPC got to grips with an 8 yet?

Dan

[Glenn Butcher]

Not yet.

In a couple of months time they will be

[MikeLMR]

nothing to do with the Autos having 4 port engines then Glenn ?

[Glenn Butcher]

Well - maybe a little.

Be interesting to see what the boys can come up with.

[MikeLMR]

sounds interesting ... the ECU is meant to be a bit of a b1tch to work with on the RX8 at the moment as its so new and complicated ... using a motec ecu should sort that out though

NA or turbo ?   Bridgeported exhaust and inlet would be interesting (if it would work ... not sure what that would do to the overlap etc.)

[Glenn Butcher]

Yeah, a bit of work ahead of us - but if they can put a M800 into a Boxter S tiptronic then it shouldn\'t be too bad.

Engine will stay as is for the moment, turbo or supercharger is the question.

Supercharger will be more straight forward as there is no fiddling to do on the exhaust side (apart from a more free-flowing exhaust).  Turbo will be more complex, as there isn\'t a lot of room - but it is pretty much tried and tested even with higher compression engines.

hey gbutcher, did you pay 67,550 for it? or did u somehow manage to knock some more off that price?

i ordered mine last week... and it arrived a bit over a week later and the dealer had told me jan....   i didnt have the money, he thought i did and ordered it anyway... so yeah, im in a bit of a delemma now, theres a yellow rx8 with cloth interior around ppl

did you know that it cost 60,480 for non leather and 67,550 with leather? and get this, did the dealer tell you he can get the non leather and put in the leather himself for a mere 3500? with life time warranty and he claims it will look exactly the same??

i finally got it out of him when he saw how dissapointed i was cause he couldnt get me my black and yellow interior, and the difference in the sound systems is 3 little tweeters and a larger amp... pfft.. go with non leather it will save you 3 grand if u get leather in later

cheers!

Hi Jake,

I missed your reply of over 5 months ago!!!!!!!!

Really sorry about that.

I managed to get it a little cheaper than the list price.

So what did you end up with now?
