gratz on the new 8. Let the endless modding begin.
1. clear corners
2. AFE short shifter
Those are the two mandatory mods that will then lead you to the other 1000 that you'll eventually do.

Jedi, I watched a review on the AFE shortshifter and they said it was not worth the money

Welcome,
I too have a 06 Shinka. This forum is mandatory for the proper care and feeding of the " 8 ". You can find out just about anything there is to know about the car but you must search first. Congrats and one one of the best features of the Shinka is the piano black console strips instead of the standard silver.IMO

Welcome to the Club. 
BTW, symptoms of that bug bite can include Fun, an extreme sense of happiness, a desire to hit 9K often, and in most cases modding.
What are your plans for the car? Post pictures if you can...

Hey Silver,
Thanks for the congrats, I'm sure that down the road I'll change to stickier tires and better cooling on the brakes, but for the time being I'm going to leave as is. It's just too much fun to blow past the wanna be's.
