    Haha..Im pretty good at changing rx8 gearboxes now too. Really they see the same abuse as our gearboxes in the Rx8. The problem seems to be mainly with the 4th gear syncro. That'll go out and then shortly after that the rest of the gears fuck up as well.

    Im so ready to go to some races! Maybe we'll actually get in the top 20 in some of these races so we can get some cash. haha.

    I'm not going to go racing in a back of the pack car, if I wanted to do that I could build a back of the pack car cheaper than I could rent one.

    But this is very true. Im telling you, build a ITR BMW or something equal and come run. I need the competition!

    Renting a back of the pack car is setting ones self up to fail. I don't think Ferdinand would want to be in the back of the pack when he had the ability to be in the front. I know a couple of guys that race BMWs I might see if any of them want to rent me their cars some this year but I'm not building another car.

    Priority one right now is my STI and its still in parts. Hopefully Ill get the cage in the car in the next two weeks.

    I know, but if your not going to race in a series with competition, then whats the point?

    I'm looking at another car for a 2 car team this year. PM me if interested...

    LOL....how much TV coverage and exposure do you think I would get racing with you guys...none.

    Ill get coverage at every race in the Redline series.

    I'm not trying to be a dick but exposure is currently very important to me.

    Oh, I know. thats why im going to run a few ST races. I wish there was tv exposure for IT. haha. But like you said, you wanted to run a SM...not to much coverage there.

    If you get a good deal on a SM or IT car, id do it. Its cheap and its track time. and the more the better.
