Haha, so is the 4th of July going to be your RX8's Independence Day? :P

well hopefully there will be a full engine sitting on the garage on the 4th. putting it all back together from there is still going to take me a bit. But once the engine is built I feel that the hard part is behind me

but we'll see if it explodes the first time I start it or not

I've had 5 RX-7s. 86, 87, 2x88s and a 93 R1. God, I miss that car...
