I got new wheels and tires.

What's the latest on body work and why did you need a new rotor?

He needs these new wheels to finish the fenders. The rear will be almost 3" wider than stock. If I choose to go with more power later, I can stuff a full 12" tire back there.

We only had 2 9.7 rotors for the build, so I needed a third. The Goopy 10mm 17pc engine studs should be ready for shipping by Friday. The Pineapple Racing 1 piece dowel is already with Myles. I'm not sure if the irons are with mazmart for lapping any large street porting yet.

The only real unknown left at this point is if we can get a custom front counterweight to run the renesis front cover, or if I need to order a couple more parts from Pro-Maz for the 8's AC adapter, and CAS sensor adapter. CAS may not matter as much with the full standalone ECU.

I need to order the Adaptronic stand alone soonish.

I could have used the stock rotors, but they're 9.1, and I wanted higher compression since it was NA, so we got a set of 9.7.

The new Adaptronic is plug and play with the RX8 including the CAN bus systems. It also supports up to a 4 rotor. So all I have to do is re-wire 2 of the RX8 AUX valves to run the 2 extra ignition channels, and I don't even have to change out the engine harness to run the 20b. It's a $4k cut out of the budget for now. I'll pretty it up a little more later. Right now, I'm more worried about either running out of money, or it not being done in time.

got anything good coming for them?

Mine still has some quirks but I'm pretty comfortable driving it around town. Still have a funky vibration going on and a surging idle. Thought it might have been the BAC sticking but I unplugged it and it still happens. I actually plugged it back in the morning and right before I got the connector back on i heard something click and the idle settled. So confused.. but anyway, I'm about order:

Exedy Stage 1 clutch
Light flywheel
Slave cylinder
SS line
Counterweight

I'd be in for a hat. What are the chances we could get zip up or pull over hoodies?
