Got a few things in the mail last week, progress has been slow with the car lately but updates will come slowly but surely. The pulley is from Super Now it will be powder coated along with my stock pullies. And the canards are from Odula, the fit isnt perfect so I will have to figure out the best approach to fitting them better before I mount them for good. I think they are pretty good looking though. Haven't really seen them on many 8s here in the US.

Had some nice weather recently and with cheap gas prices I figured taking the 8 for a drive was a good idea. It felt nice to drive it again.
Starting to get the time to do some things with the car so next up is replacing the stock expansion tank, mounting up an oil catch can, finishing up my tray over the radiator, and mounting the canards.
Heres the good stuff.

The new guy is asking 10k. I think it's up in St. Charles somewhere. The CL ad has prices listed for all the parts and they are way inflated. Stance coils cost $1500 now.

I thought that those looked like the same style, looks like you got the larger version. I have a few other things going on now but I have all my new bungs welded on and fittings ready. Ill most likely swap it when I drain the coolant to switch it out. Hoping everything goes well.
I love your intake set-up. That is on my to do list. I have lots of fuel trim movement now and thing a little longer intake with some screens may help it out.

Yeah they are great reservoirs, price wise they just make sense. I just had to add bungs for my specific use for the coolant reservoir and the turbo coolant reservoir. It worked perfect for the SOHN reservoir. And I added the push to connect hose and fittings as level sights.
The intake was a chore to get perfect and I will likely make one small change the next time I have the engine out. The intake work great though, it has a honeycomb straightener riveted in a few inches in front of the MAF.
This is a more complete picture, I just need to add some riv nuts for the air diversion panel and I can slap the bumper back on and rock and roll. It's never done though, I can already see quite a few things I want to fix. The next intake tray will be laser cut just like our lower under trays are.

I really like your intake though. Do you know where you got your MAF screen? I've seen a few different ones but haven't made a decision yet.
I loved having that kit on the old car and MBs look good on the 8 but its pretty common now a days.

Just let me know when you are ready I can sell you just the Billet MAF housing with the built in honeycomb. I have a company make them to my specs and then we make the rest of the intake. The company sells standard ones but they were too long for my needs.

This has been March in St Louis and the jeep has been great. The RX 8 hasnt gotten out much at all this winter.
I have been anxious for spring but also have so many things I still want to get done with my car before then. I am trying to finish up a couple older projects and also a few new ones. Everything is planned out but just needs to be completed now.
I bought an RE Amemiya hood from the forums and have also had my wheel color switched up. I hope to have the hood painted by next weekend.
I bought a Mishimoto Catch Can which I am waiting to put in until I make a fancy mount area for.
My Canton Coolant tank is all ready to go in but I plan to drain the coolant when I install that. Once this is done I hope to finish up my radiator air tray.
