Hey Bros and Sis,

Nothing to do...so create a thread for 8s with auto trans.

As you know that 8 auto has very little after markt mods..hence creating this thread for all the auto 8s to get info on mods......

Guys and pretty gals pls contirbute , help us 8 autos .......

Thanks..

 

auto ones...

1. aesthetics - interior and exterior
2. handling
3. brakes
4. ICE
5. exhaust - but have to get the right ones! some are not tested on auto 8 and will result in lost of power
6. intake - same goes for intake

 

lohsk, see here... another one that thinks we look like monkeys and only the gals are pretty... sigh. :p Sorry for the hijack, but I just wanted subscribe to this thread with a post.

Anyway, like what you guys have mentioned, mods for the auto 8 is limited and what's available for the manual 8 may not work well for the auto 8. So if you drive an auto 8, better read here or check with the auto 8 owners before you get the mods. Some have already tried and suffered so benefit from their experience. By the way, I found aftermarket ventilated slotted brake rotors for the auto 8s. In case you don't already know, the auto 8s have smaller front brake rotors, 302.5mm compared to the 320mm on manual 8s, and not many brake rotor manufacturers actually make the smaller brake rotors for the auto 8s.

 

Haha... I almost fell off my chair reading this... :D :D :D

 

DBA have it for the autos.

Anybody knows if there's any distributor for Racing Beat Intake in Singapore ?

 

That's the one... but any DBA distributor in SG? I don't know of any RB distributor but I'm sure places like McWell or other workshops can order in for you. Just don't install at McWell lah. Still going to cost quite a bit for shipping coz it's HUGE ***, that's why I'm trying to bring back myself.

 

this one i can confirm tell u the answer.... NO :D

i can bring in for u mah......

 

Can we install another cooler like in the manuals?

I do think the 8 is quite well tuned and there isn't much to do anymore. And alot of mods are untested or unproven. And the complexity adds to the difficulty of modding further.

Then again, its a boon as it can help me save more cash!!!

 

cooler yes... however, our auto guys have installed another toy instead of the oil cooler.... something to do with transmission...... see lah, ask u come meetups u dun wan...

 

Izit? I went wat, but I still dunno.... wat izit ah??

 

er...ATF cooler?

 

bingo!

 

No DBA distributor in SG that i know ....

Don't forget to factor the cost of new brake pads for your new rotors. (plus steel braited brake lines / u will need new brake fluid too bro) ...... wondering with all this, u almost can get a Endless 6 pot already ...... :D :D

 

Hahaha.....

What's the price bro?

No reply from RB when i enquired on the shipping cost....

 

Anybody knows where can i get Delphi Lockheed Battery for rx8 ????

Or any recommanded Battery .... Mine is dying anytime soon.

 

No DBA distributor? Nevermind, I bring in myself... hee hee Anyone wants?

Brake pads - $300
Steel braided brake lines - $300 (includes fluid & bleeding)
Strut bar with brake stopper - $240
Not testing the stopping distance of my 8 by hitting the back of another vehicle - $priceless

No lah bro, do you know how much Endless 6-pot will cost???

 

Hwah! exactly what i had in mind. Correct me if i am wrong

1) improve transmission life
2) smoother operation
3) cooler centre console (next to left leg)

Whats the damage to install one of these?

 

i dunno leh... i'm a 6MT guy man.......

u have the autos pple...... again, there goes "WHO ASK U DUN ATTEND THE MEETUPS???? :D :D :D :D

 

ya lah, ya lah. coming soon...

I got at because i lazy to drive mt and i drive alot.

If this was australia or us, i confirm get 6mt without thinking. You should know how fu*k up our traffic is. And before you get to 3rd gear must stop already.

 

Halo guys and monkeys..

HEHE, first of all ....girls like monkey like us wat...so handsome....

Hey thanks for contributing...continue to contribute ..dun be shy...

The ATF cooler enhances the life span of the auto gear trans. It cools the fluid in the trans hence reduce heat that causes the gear to breakdown....which means u can "thwa" the gear like nobody biz/....... get it..

IT cost ard $300 ++ if the price is still the same foe now.....u can get it at MCWELL...paya ubi....LOOK for IVAN say gabriel ...recomm ..he can give u disccount.

Today is my last DUTY .............meet u guys TML

 

Congrats on regaining your freedom.... catch ya at the next meet.

 

haha .... :D Well, at least i tried ....... (to poison u)

Hint : Someone will be out with a endless very soon...
Clue : A very polished car.

 

Just a note on the ATF cooler, use braided hoses and after installing it drive the car ard and make sure it doesn't leak. The first time I installed mine I noticed there was a slight leak. Apparently the hoses wasn't secured tight enough and everytime pressure builds up when driving causes it to leak a little....just a little bad experience I thought I share.

 

Thats what i am worried about too. I guess it all boils down to the person installing it.

 

Yo bro, may have to catch up with you some time soon to help me check if mine is leaking. Dam worried cause of the person installing it, its mc....
