Had an epic trip to decker canyon last night, by epic, i mean epic fail. LionZoo and I came up with the idea to take some photos of the car in motion at the hairpins at the entrance to decker. While the photos turned out amazing, the trip ended in disaster when LionZoo picked up a peice of wire that punctured his tire on the last shoot. Since rx8s don’t come with spares, and the tire gunk we’re supplied with totally destroys the tire, we ended up having to drive back all the way to the 626 from malibu, pickup a tire, and come back to malibu. When we got back it was 3am already. Needless to say we were beyond tired, changing tires at 3am is not fun at all.

Over Xmas i received a nice box with this stuff in it. Thanks to BlackHaloRacing, who make many quality parts for the rx8 my car now idles much more smooth and pulls stronger than before. Awesomeeeeee!

Lionzoo helped out with the install. After a lot of cussing and bleeding it was in. The coils are placed under the upper intake manifold and amidst a tangle of wires and harnesses, making getting them to fit a major headache. Once they’re in tho, they’re nice and snug.

My friend sent me this awesome video of the Subaru WRX at Rally of the Tall Pines. I think it goes to show the intensity of these races, and how important your co-driver is to be competitive.
