Cool

Brad offered up his Garage Thursday evening, so I suspect that's where it's going to go down for my Coilovers. The next 3 days are then wicked busy, and the following weekend isn't much better. We'll figure something out though, sounds like a good time.

It's up to Brad if he wants a ton of people crowding around his garage

I'm more or less off the internet except from work for the next few days because I'm moving.

i can help you as well. check out the bhr ignition if you're looking to upgrade, otherwise you'll need a new set of oem coils (like $120 i think) and plugs. it's really an easy job.

I think it's time for me to replace spark plugs and coils too. Where should I buy the parts? And I could also use help/guidance

^ i can help w/ yours since you're really close too.

parts depend on if you want oem or upgrade. for upgrade get the BHR ignition and you'll get coils, plugs wires, and a discount on plugs. for oem, go through one of the online parts dealers or your dealership.

install is quick so we can do that anytime. it does make a huge difference to have fresh coils and plugs.

Rawr,

Where else could we go where we could take over the parking lot? That everyone can drive to and has good food? There's a burger joint I would suggest, but they have no parking.

Nice..so when we're going to do it?...I'll bring beers and some food...

Finally just received my TurboXs midpipe...can't wait to install this...Can somebody help to install? I believe it will need some fabrication to fit with OEM catback..

I was going to order parts but I searched for BHR and have yet to find a link to get pricing after doing multiple searches. I may just go OEM to save money but wanted to check the pricing for the BHR kit. Look forward to meeting other RX8'ers in the near future.
