funny part is, most of the times a seal is broken, it happens after the detonation. at idle or cruising. not under a load.. basically after the fact.

I don't think I'll get another RX8 again....my next project will be some kind of Turbo RX7, either a 1st gen, or a nice S5.......car payments suck....
