Mazsport cooling mod is $20.00 and is off the car. You need to give me a couple of days with it to straighen it up as I still have the old hoses on it but it comes with installation instructions (should take 30 minutes to hook up) but then you will need to hid the wire and that could take a little time depending on were you decide to put the wire. If you want it, AJ then you can pick it up or I'll bring it to a meet. If you were real smart (and I know you are) you would stop by here after I return from Cali and pick it up - you may even get help installing it .
Sold! I will heed your advice and wait until you return from Cali. Thanks!

Both items sold.

I leave here at 3pm and get home about 3:30 - if you going to install give me 1/2 hour to eat dinner so come at 4pm, OK?

AJ, I'll post when I get back and we will get together.

Those of you that are trying to reach Armim by post or email will have to wait for a while. *** shut off his internet. It should be on again in a couple of days.

Deuse, I have had two 2004 RX-8's with dif build dates and never had my sun shades melt or fall apart on me. Then agen I'm always telling my Girl to go easy on them and never leave them down in the sun.

well got around to changing out the plugs and wires in the rx8 while I was changing the oil. put some taylor 8.2mm wires on and I am glad I have the service manual as with trying to size up the old with the new I forgot which one went where lol. As soon as I find my digital camera I'll take some pics of the old plugs and get them posted

AJ, see Armin today if you can. He has the cooling/fan mod with the install instructions. Now a few things I wanted to point out:
1. hoses provided need to be changed and you can use your existing hoses. Only left on there for descriptive purposes.
2. Carefully read the instruction sheets provided - there is also a DYI in the forums on it's install.
3. Confused???? Do not let it bother you - stop by my house and I will assist you in it's installation (after Monday).
4. as you face the engine, the long straight hose goes to your overflow reservoir, the switch goes up along side between the ECU and the battery boxes with the wires facing horizontal to the left. The wire with the stake-on is the ground and should be hooked to the ground side of your battery. The two relays just replace the ones in your electrical box under the hood on the drivers side front. The relays are the same and can be inserted in ether order.
5. Still confused? Leave it alone until Monday or when your ready and I will help you.

anthony. are u getting a high flow cat put on???

if so, at our next meet i'd love to take a ride in your car and see how much of an audio difference it makes. I wouldn't mind my car a little tiny bit louder, but not by much. and i plan to get new tips soon so if i get a high flow cat i guess i can say that i have an exhaust system done lol.
