@OBS460 your build is awesome so far, but tell me more about that RX8!
Sure thing!
The RX-8 has been built around SCCA Pro Solo D street prepared rules. I purchased it relatively stock with a rebuilt title, and decided it'd make a good track toy. I run it locally with a great group, and we are slowly dialing it in. Current race weight is around 2780lbs at 1/2 tank of fuel. The truck setup also revolves around making the grid life more comfortable between heats! My Fiancee co-drives it with me, and we have a great time!
