just gettin it in the mounts was a bitch...

Rear sway, skid plate, adjust rear struts, and fix fog !!

Changed to 9k rear spring, reinstalled progress technology sway (remove rear during winter to allow more understeer) and welded a scratch/hole in cat.

coilover rebuilt. flipped some shims and cause my bump damping force to increase.. great success!

YEAH^^ just throw me a single turbo RB26 and I'll be JUST like him

LOL zach, everyone tells me to just ditch the bumper and show off that front mount, and I just might for a couple weeks. at least till I can finish up all the mounting brackets and 'minor' bumper modifications I have in mind (see pic below)

yes oldskoojdm, I know I'll have to cut a few bumper brackets and make some adjustments here and there but I also wanna cut my valence and make something like this


excuse the crappy 'chop. it was just an idea till about 3 mins ago.....

^ that's what i would do.



what did i do to my ride today?

took ff the ghey wink mirror feels so good to be able to see traffic lights in front of me.

i like my wink mirror haha do your seats sit high? i can still see all the traffic light in front of me...

my seat is at the lowest sitting position. guess it varies car to car

I reset my ECU to clear a CEL. It was from a mixed up vacuum line on my intake so no biggie. It's nice to finally have a car with no warning lights lit up all the time haha. In the RX-8 the airbag light was always on because I didn't have stock seats, which have airbags in them.

I also put some Rain-X anti-fog stuff on my rear window since I don't have a rear defroster haha.

Friday I'll be swapping my CV cups and the car will be ready as it's gonna get for the meet!

Wink mirrors are cool, but it didn't fit in my car so i got rid of it. I screwed around with my hids since both side started to flicker recently . I didnt know that rx8's had in seat airbags.

Update: Since its so nice outside i felt motivated to fix my broken hid harness and finally installed hids in my fogs and took out the led ones.
