Don't forget about the break-in period for the rebuilt motor, Marlon. But I'm glad the work is coming along. Looking forward to seeing/hearing her again.
I put on my dads new wheels on "Mayhem". Damn are the fugly. I'm sure Ivan will agree. I'll post a pic when I get home.

in 1 & 2 at least an hour, 3 you can get well over 1 1/2 hours as the day winds down...unless some guy loses a motor....but they did get the last session in!!!
I got about 3 or 4 sessions, somewhere around 20-25 minutes each session. Very smooth track with some fun turns and elevation changes.
Break-in period is really subjective depending on who you talk to. Some say 1000 miles, some say 500 miles, some say 5 minutes. I don't know which is right, as I've seen all 3. But that's one subject that I don't think you'll ever get a "right" answer for.

yeah, Pettit Racing suggests 3000 miles under 5k RPMs to properly break in a rotary... weird

I've wondered about that myself. I've read a lot of different things, too. It seems to be like asking "what oil is best?"

That's badass. But I like how eBay auctions always say "No reserve" but then set the beginning auction price. Isn't that essentially the "reserve" price? Sillyheads. Baddass nonetheless. 
I would love to have a 20B idle in a street car. Some cat would be looking at you funny at the red light and I would just say "What?". Haha

How loud does my stereo have to be to offset that?

Who has a stereo?!
True dat. I haven't even replaced the sub in my P5 since the swap. I keep forgetting to turn the stereo up. If I had a 20B I would delete the stereo and just listen to the track Mazda composed called "20B - skeet, skeet, skeet".

A house is tempting, though..
Ugh. I can't stand that fake carbon fiber 3M wrap stuff. I'm a bit of a hypocrite since I have the CF mirror covers that actually add weight. But that wrap stuff is always an eyesore to me. I would rather see rusted metal or faded plastic than that fake wrap. End rant. My apologies. Some cat just posted a pic of his fender he wrapped in that fake stuff. Ack.
