We are glad to have you man. Although I am sure you are saving more than $150.00 a month living here.

Nah...

Well i mean overall food is cheaper and gas is cheaper.

But I am paying the same for rent and have no one to split utilities with.

Next year I am looking for a cheaper place so i can save to get my body kit painted and buy a DD.

Pssht saving is for amateurs. Just find a nice lady talking on her phone while driving and make sure you stay in front of her. I hear its a great way to get body kits painted.

we have done so many suspension installs here in Tampa, that we can do them within 2 hours now

Well, my brother in law bought a chop saw so he was able to cut the piping for me and I got the tray uprights modified to get the undertray and bumper back on. Everything fits like a champ. I have stopped giving myself deadlines but if all goes well I should have her fired up this week.

Yeah we have done over a dozen suspension installs but the Koni's require drilling so they took a bit longer to drill and then get the dampening adjusted (rears are a PIA).

Yea that's why I hate the konis!

His car feels amazing with them and the H techs though. I am jealous of his lowness now. He just needs to pull the rears to make them stiffer and he will be good to go.

You just wait until my suspension project is done!

Chevy HHR turbo WIX paper air filter fits perfect. Very high quality. I had to modify the inside flange to fit the larger 3.5" pipe but it's tough rubber so it works and fits nice and snug. It's not in the pic but I also secured the pipe and put some foam insulation to prevent noises from vibration. It will be a pain in the *** to change but oh well. Eventually I will move the intercooler and do some duct work to the filter area.

nice man

nice, My AEM filter is nasty as ****, I might consider doing this as well.

the ultimate solution is a v-mount setup with the intercooler venting out a big duct in the hood which then gives max flow to both the radiator and the intercooler while and also freeing up plenty of cold air space for the intake filter, but it is a hardcore custom job to the max on the RX-8

Sounds familiar...

^ Yeah, looks even better in person. If I recall you even have a secondary rad tucked in there somewhere as well right?

Eventually I'd like to convince bumblebeerx8 to come down and do some custom pipe work for me.

Nice, but it's still not executed quite the way I was referring to
