Who wants to help me install my BHR coils, install my sway bar endlinks, and change out my HID ballasts when I get my car back?

Thanks, might have to take you up on that. I can do it at my office but then I have to lug all my tools around. My driveway is rocks and dirt so it sucks for working on cars.

I thought you were buying my coils? Haha. I would try and install the coils today but I went to a birthday brunch and I'm all shitfaced right now so it doesn't look like that is gonna happen.

have you changed your tranny and diff fluid? if so what did you use to replace it?

I am thinking of REDLINE MT and 75w90 respectively

and here is the stupid question.... how many quarts of each do i need?

No I have'nt in about 50k but I need too. And from what I have researched its best to stay with stock fluids (I went with stock fluids last time). People have had problems with Redline and other fluids.

My tranny has over 90k on it with no problems (knocks on wood). Unless you are a track addict I don't see any reason to run fancy stuff. But transmissions really depend on the driver. I have always driven stick and was taught properly so mine tend to last but I often cringe when I drive with others and see how harsh they are on their gear boxes. I'm down for a fluid change too.

Redline for diff is okay but not for tranny. There are many problems with the RX-8/S2000/Miata trannys with Redline and Royal Purple tranny fluids. Just search and you will see.
