block heater and extension cord will solve your cold start needs in the winter.

Small update since I'm a lazy, cheap bastard. Pulled it apart this week to install a competition clutch stg.4. I have to wait to get the flywheel resurfaced monday. Installing the walbro 255 and pte 1000's at the same time. It will also be getting an exhaust built as soon as it is back on the ground. I will miss the open downpipe, sadly.

I beat on it every time I drive it. Slowly gathering parts to build the engine. 8lbs of holset fun has been keepin me plenty satisfied though. I love the way this turbo performs. The wastegate did fall off once. Apparently cheap bolts break after a few heat cycles...oops. I still need to install the stock rail i tapped for a barbed fitting to run an aeromotive fpr for the e85 stuff.

Sold some stuff, bought some stuff...
2001 KLG4
RX-8 6-speed
Competition Clutch clutch/flywheel
V8Roadsters mount kit
Ebay headers
Plan on using MicroSquirt, LSX coils, and a Scirocco radiator tucked under the core support. 2.5" exhaust.
Prothane complete kit for the suspension. Might add a Rb hollow bar and Wilwoods. New wheels are Rota Grid, 15x9. 225/45 BFG Rivals should be here shortly.
Autolonexion V2 flares and Trunk are the only real changes to the exterior.
