Dave and All,

I couldn't find that area on Tracy's = site and as=20 the Series 6 has tapered bearing on the stationary gears, I'm wondering=20 of the RX8 has gone that way also.

Secondly, what again, is Tracy's = modification=20 for the thermal pellet - I'm wondering if I can do without the = thermal=20 pellet completely.

Is this so? What year(s)? Is the = auto=20 starter different from the manual?

Does the RX-7 = thermal=20 pellet plug work, or is the RX-8 different?

Thanks again, in = advance=20 :^)
