RyansRx8 12-10-2009, 12:00 AM Gay I didn't hear one performance mod in there! (springs kinda count) Go exhaust, intake, springs, sways, cobb accessport, midpipe, are all real popular with the 8...Car looks good though
allaboutmoney 12-10-2009, 12:05 AM sounds good, will do! just give me some time and things will come who knows what the future brings lol

allaboutmoney 12-10-2009, 12:14 AM ha that would be sick, any other mods you doing to your car...turbo!? lol
RyansRx8 12-10-2009, 12:17 AM If I go turbo I'm swapping the 13b-tt motor from the fd then single turbo conversion...if not that then an ls1 swap...I still have a few years to pay this thing off so working on other things before that stuff happens
allaboutmoney 12-10-2009, 12:24 AM true say, i just started paying so i got a long road to go hope to see it done on day though but for now .......................:smokepoke
Mazda_RX804 12-10-2009, 05:25 AM We should chill sometime! do a photoshoot or something. I got a 04 VR.
Quick Question bro,
I go to my gf's house, she lives in tdot and i always see a VR 8, wondering if its you. Do you live or go near the weston and albion area? Strathburn ring any bells?
allaboutmoney 12-10-2009, 09:14 AM Hey sounds familiar, I drive there once in a while, kinda close I live by rexdale and kipling though, photo shoot sounds good lol, nice to meet you, welll chill some time
Mazda_RX804 12-10-2009, 01:15 PM what u sayin sat? grab a coffee at the timmies on weston? im goin to my gfs house so ill be in tdot. links me you number
REV-illusions 12-10-2009, 02:02 PM umm... congrats on the car.... I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just be sure to check the oil level's every other fillup... always keep acouple of bottles of 5w-20 in the trunk for the occations it gets low... winter care... let the car warm up before turning it off... if you don't you'll run the risk of flooding it (search it).... which ain't fun.
don't slam it to the ground... you'll just mess up the handling. Get it through the winter... come out to the one the track day's that we host... learn how the car handles... see what some of us have done and go from there... then you can proceed to tweek as required.
Mazda_RX804 12-10-2009, 02:05 PM im down for that too^ im another young rx8 owner lol im 21:) and really do follow the steps above they are the 3 main rules in order to owning an RX vehicle lol

Hope to see you out at the meetings next year...

Even stock height is a bit 'low' IMO, especially with the amount of ice that was on the roads yesterday! My front bumper kept hitting the ice that was sticking up from the ground on the smaller streets and parking lots! they're everywhere, totally unavoidable, good thing i don't have a MS bumper or something or I'd be crying. :(
on a side note, my friend got a MS bumper on his 7 installed last month, and the second day driving it, he rammed it into one of those trailor hitches on the back of a path finder while trying to parallel park, it didn't completely trash his bumper, but it did dent and crack the bumper.

buying used didnt occur to you? I got my dunlop graspic winter tires on steel rims for 300 bucks, they were used 1 season and still in near new condition. I will never understand why people pay so much for tires.
Kijiji and craigslist is your friend!
Kafka 12-18-2009, 06:53 PM because you don't go cheap on tires and brakes...

well the main reason i went for new was cause i have TPMS, and the car bongs at startup when it doesn't detect them also the warning light comes on. I know not a huge deal but i didnt really want that so yeah went to mazda got my self the set they had some promotion on 17" RIMS and winter tire setfor 1600 so got that.
