    So... where did you buy it, and what did you pay for it?

    Man, B-stock is starting to look like a really good place to play locally. I'm not too fond of 18" R-comp prices though.

    Congrats! You coming to play in the class definitely tips the favor back towards buying an RX-8. It'll be just like old times, with you, Jon, and I.

    So when do the Konis, SSRs, and Kumhos arrive, or are you going to try the A6s?

    Mine will be up for sale reasonably soon (as soon as I get the house sorted), so hopefully someone will buy it and come join you.

    However, it will cost substantially more than $10 and a DLP bulb.

    Yep, the Miata is still the best bang for the buck. The Kumhos are $240 each for the RX8.

    I will offer a $7 for the '99 POS Racer and through in a Bmod car and trailer.

    The tires for that are cheaper than the Miata I think.

    Hmmmmm.... Altiain's car for sale soon. (Solo RX-7 scratching his head and prying open his wallet to check the contents)

    Maybe POS won't have to go back to ES.....

    Matt,

    I can bring the car to TMS for the test-n-tune, if you want to take a test drive...

    You'll have to change your signature line. Congrats General! Hope you enjoy the 8!

    Matt it's like a lighter MR2 with no bottom end and no push.

    Picture a car that's .5-1.0 faster than ES

    0.5 - 1.0 sec faster for who(m)? It may only be that much faster than your R with it's magical super sonic device that trips the stop lights 3 seconds before you cross through them.... or does it delay the start lights... I can't remember ...

    With me (or other mere mortals) driving that car has to be good for at least a couple of seconds....

    Altiain - don't do anything special for the test and tune. If you were going to bring it anyway I'll probably take it for a spin, but don't go out of your way to bring it. Realistically I'm a few months away from being able to buy something.
