Yeh luckily nothing broke. Iv put copper slip back on al the screws so they're nice to come back off. Some of them were dry as hell by cam out with some muscle

How about this for food of thought, just watched guys from hotrod magazine compare a ford and a mopar engine both produce 500ft/lbs and 450 hp. And guess how much they cost??? $5500 and how much does it cost to get that kind of power from an rx8? 6-7k for everything!!! If only the same was spent on R&D for rotors as has with Pistons everything would be much affordable and justify able!!

re japi

I have seems some v8 swaps on internet lately. Makes you think about drivebility. I quess it would be fun fun drifting. RB26 Skyline lump on RX-8 would be fun too :D
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Working nights and sleeping the rest. Iv had the occasional look on here but not much. I went to put my rear springs on but realised I didn't have enough time to do it as needed to pick my son up so put rear back together after spending an hour involving everythig

I think my car may have had some lowering springs on but they were eons I that's for sure.

The eibachs look about 10mm shorter in height but are Definately thicker and stiffer
