New parts arrived/arriving
Got some new parts in, with some more arriving maybe later this week. Looks like I'll be busy this weekend ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Evo-R endlinks...a lot beefier than I thought.
My Rays lugs
**EDIT** Adding this picture to reduce confusion...

Evo-R tossed this in for free...don't know if it was intentional![Lol2](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/lol2.gif)
The 19" Volks...still waiting on tires to arrive
Mazda appearance package front lip...still waiting on the sides to arrive

Still waiting on my Megan Coilovers and Progress sways to arrive from Fluid Motorsports as well as my wheel spacers.
I also got the Axial short shifter, didn't take pics though. Was too excited to install it.
Total cost was about $6000. It was a toss-up between a turbo or exterior/suspension work and I chose the latter. After a long discussion with the wife, we (read 'she') decided we don't want to deal with the hidden costs of turbos, nor a blown engine.
Maybe once I get back from Korea...

The tires are going to be a less expensive (read fund shortage) Toyo Proxy TR1 since these rims will be my "show" set. 245/35/19 up front 265/35/19 in the rear.
My co-worker just let me know that there are some regular auto-x events at the Marina airport. So he recommended that I use my stock wheels with the Dunlop Direzzas that are currently mounted and join him out there. I've never done auto-x before, but have always wanted try it.

very nice, i love doing a whole bunch of mods at once. but then if you do anything to the engine its hard to tell what part gave you HP or torque

Please do take pictures after the wheel and tires are mounted, a couple of close up picture on the wheel & fender gap and how flush is the wheel to the fender. Wheel are my next mod.

I don't want to put the wheels on until I do the coilovers and swaybars first.
