Dave Lemon (owner of MazdaTrix) and I traded RX8's today and we went
for a
test drive so we could judge the ride of each others car.  We both
agree
his rides slightly better than mine despite the fact he has cut the
coils
and lowered it a bit. I am still working on a fix.

BTW Dave told me 40% of his RX8 customers have never owned a rotary car
before so that is a very good sign to rotary is gaining new converts.

Paul, I think you would get a tremendous ride improvement by getting
some nice modular wheels, I bet you could save 10 pounds a wheel.

At great expense :) Dave was using Brembo drilled brake discs. I am thinking of drilling
the stock brake disc as a service.

BTW I had to drive my butt off to keep up as Dave Lemon qualified second out of 49
drivers in the E production class at SCCA National Road Racing Championships :)
Lots of fun sliding his RX8 around the on and off ramps :)
