**Gammaboy** · 31-01-12, 07:51 PM

Google it - it's the name of a turkish movie hottie

**RNS-11Z** · 11-02-12, 05:55 PM

Hahah it's my sisters plates, forget the plates for now they are coming off soon but cbf doing it now.

In the meantime hello 1000kms only another 1000 to go. Ala fitted a custom made muffler on the rear to shut it up, thank god I did. Drives awesome can not wait to get it around a track. Next on the list is brakes.

**buzz** · 11-02-12, 08:53 PM

Is the mega muffler for the track as well, or just so it is quiet enough to be able to think when driving on the street?

**RNS-11Z** · 21-02-12, 09:06 AM

Buzz, for track and street.

Finally have aircon working, now I can run it in!!!

**OKE020** · 22-02-12, 11:42 AM

Hey mate, what muffler did you end up putting on this? i have a west 12a race car in next week that needs to meet lakeside noise levels and still make good power.

**RNS-11Z** · 22-02-12, 02:37 PM

Scott, a mate of mine recommended I see Brian from innovative exhaust @ capalaba for a muffler. He custom/ hand makes for any car. He did Gorans myt16 vl recently so I went and saw him. If you hear it now, huuugggeee difference. I just fitted 1 muffler behind the rear bar. I can not believe the difference it made since its still straight through.

These guys do a bit of work for 888, know their stuff.

**OKE020** · 22-02-12, 10:02 PM

Ok cool. Yep brian knows his stuff, glad you got a result.

**RNS-11Z** · 05-03-12, 12:45 PM

vague indication of price old boy?

**RNS-11Z** · 05-03-12, 05:15 PM

Well, i got a receipt for 11k for the engine work alone. I will sell it for under 10k, everything listed in the add. Any one who gives me a good offer can take it. I know im going to take a loss.

Well i was going to sell the running gear and install a 6.0l ss motor and box, but ive decided to stick with it unless it blows.
Its back at the suspension shop getting some adjustments done, hoping to drop it off at bens shop to fit A computer. Fingers crossed word comes back from haltech today about the ecu so we can plan on what to do. I also have another 500kms to go then its finally fucking run in.

**Coffin** · 28-03-12, 10:41 AM

Keep the rotor, build the car, and come racing at Targa next year with me ..... with the rotor it maybe the only way I could possibly beat you

Funny you should say that, the BMI Racing 4 rotor RX8 has been sold as a roller and is coming to live in Thailand and will be powered by a turbo diesel. !!

thats the plan!!!!!

**RNS-11Z** · 01-05-12, 03:32 PM

well. made the decision today to ditch the flybywire shit. going with a new throttle body, etc to run a cable set up and stand alone ecu. just need to do a bit of research on how to control the valves inside the engine that control the opening and closing of ports. ben thinks this can be done once he has a motor to pull apart. so by the look of things july i should have an ecu fitted.

**RNS-11Z** · 04-06-12, 09:05 PM

Dropped it off to Rotary Motorsport today.
On the to do list:
Stand alone haltech ecu
Pwr bigger oil cooler
Remove flyby wire set up
And a tune. Hoping it's done by the time I get back from my trip

**jimmyg** · 28-06-12, 03:27 PM

Back from your trip yet? Updates?
