Anyone know or seen this guy driving around? I was waiting to turn left onto wehrle from transit the other day and i spotted a silver RX8 with black wheels w/ polished lip. I didnt think anything of it until i heard the exhaust as he got on it in first gear and when he shifted to 2nd i heard the BOV go off. ---

I was talking to him a couple nights ago real cool guy, we crusied with him a couple nights ago. he actually wants to pull the engine if he blows it with this turbo kit and put a twin-turbo rx-7 motor in it. Not sure why but its a nice car, he needs apex seals to run more boost. ---
