Preping my 8 to come out of storage this long weekend... going to check and clean the spark plugs a bit first before I fire her up.

Then its off to the shop for 1 week for the installs. lolz

 

^ what goodies you putting on now ? :p

 

I've added a few things to my list.

My ssv is sticking so attempt to fix without removing it.
Clean Spark plugs for good measure.
Repair crack in bumper, then repaint it.
Install Shine auto burnout front lip.
Mount Simon's tires on my new wheels and put them on.

 

I installed the Mazdaspeed rear strut bar last weekend. Trimming the carpet panel require patient~

 

Where'd you get the shine auto lip from bud?

 

if you need a shop to repair and repaint your bumper, let me know. The guy that fixed my ms bumper did an awesome job at a great $$$.

 

I'll need my bumper slightly fixed and painted... can I ask what he charged you?

 

whats the name of the shop just curious ?

 

My buddy's place is called Viz Autohouse in Markham

He use to service a couple rx8 on this forum. Mill Chan for one and another member with a yellow rx8 running an ING's kit.

Tell him that the Rick with the red rx-8 referred you.

I cracked my authentic ms bumper at track and his body guy was able to fix it for me whereas no where in Markham would or could do it.

Ive been there many times. Victor is a good guy, they do good work. I recommend anyone to go there.

 

Got my header and midpipe installed today along with an oil change to Pettit Racings new RevMax 15w-40 oil.

 

what midpipe did you go with ?:P

 

I went with the TurboXS header and the BHR midpipe.
I already had the Greddy SP2 cat back.
Sounds good. Nice and deep and only slightly louder than when I had the stock exhaust manifold and catted midpipe.

 

stock header here. turboxs midpipe and catback.
I find it loud.
Hopefully i dont get tickets.
i figured because im not driving a Honda i should be alright for PoPo's.

 

I was gonna give it a shot myself, I've done quite a bit of body work. One of my friends had a compressor with a spray gun, I just need to get the paint mixed.

Hey Simon were you coming back from the shop when I saw you?

 

No, I had just pulled my car out and that was my first drive of the year.

 

Oh nice, are you taking your car to Dave's to get the tires changed?

 

I going to bring them with me tomorrow but we've got a lot of work to do on the car so they may not get done. If not, I'm going to get them changed early next week.

 

Tires are changed Phil.

 

Awesome, just send me a pm, let me know how much and when I can drop by.

 

[quote=oamusa;4446472]Im gonna check this place out thanks. I want to get my trunk lid repaired and painted. Damn rust under the lip. Might as well fix it early. Probably going to de-badge too.

Installed my coilovers and end links last night. Huge difference. The stock ones were really getting bad. Dropping rims off monday to get powder coated. Cant wait to get the summer tires on. New clear corners coming in next week too. I hated my old ones after a few months. They are the ones without reflectors. What a waste of money. Ah well.

Take care.

 

I'll pull out the beast in May I think.
Gotta get my Sohn installed
Need to flush the rad
The rear alignment I'm running needs to be changed
There's some intake issue still unresolved
Such is owning a 2004 RX8
Can't wait :-)
