Yeah she is, if I can keep traction. There's non in 1st or 2nd on low boost, and highboost breaks them loose in 3rd. I dunno if it's the cold roads or what but I can't keep the ass in line when I mat her. I gotta stop driving this car and get to work on her.

i cant find shit about it, i found the theory on it, that it was produced, but nothing current, were to buy one, or any kind of specs

if you have some shoot me some links because ive been at it for a good 3 hours lol

i would love to try it out, but after reading the theory it had me a bit concerned with how reliable they are

hehe i bet everyone is scratching there heads on what im talking about

I'm sure they are. The only place to find any real information on them is the manufacturers website. It's not under the general listing though, you need to DL or open thier PDF catalog. Everything else I've found is really just internet heresay, nothing really concrete as it applies to gas engines ..... everyone still guessing

Seriously!

Honestly, not that much at all. The only problem is they can't really be bolted in. They really should be welded in mainly becuase of the passenge side inboard front bracket being flush with the floorpan. The passenger outboard front, drivers outboard rear and both drivers front mounts are a piece of cake. It's also the rear inboard bolt on both that cause a huge problem. I don't know if the track can be cut or not and still allow full adjustment rearward. I'll have to figure that out when I start into the car..... which should be today but it won't be My solution is to change the mounting entirely on the rear inboard mounts so that the bolt drives through the rack downward. I'll make installation a TON easier as well regardless of the seat that I use. But that requires a steel box with a nut welded on the inside and welding it to the floorpan. Not something that everyone is up for as the prep would take wuite some time to clean off all the heat material, grind the primer down to bare steel, weldthrough prime everything, weld it, seal it etc etc. It's a cake walk with the car at my shop..... too bad all you guys live so damn far away from CT, well, alot of you.

I could duplicate the mounts that I bulit for mine with the exception of the inboard rears fairly cheaply, but they would need to be welded to the RX8 tracks, or bolted. I prefer welding honestly. Maybe $125 for 6/8 mounts, or if I find that the rear inboard track can be cut and the factory bolt holes used we can figure something out.
