Highway8 10-20-2010, 04:16 AM I already have my kit installed but I wonder if you would consider offering the kit with different size lines and/or different hose ends (all 90deg for example)? With the lines being so dificult to bend, having the proper length is very important. I had to shorten mine to mount in my prefered location.

Pics Please!!!
I really won't one of these kits, however I have no idea where I would mount it.
Race Roots 04-20-2011, 09:45 PM I have seen it mounted in 3 places so far,
Passenger side top (most common)
Drivers side low
Battery Location (Turbo Build)
Here is a link to the other thread on this topic that has install pictures:

Ooohhh the hoses are long enuf to reach to the battery area?
I might try that .... relocating the battery to the trunk and removing the airbox has freed up a tonne of space.

Sweet
Do you sell the bracket as well?
tiltmode43 04-24-2011, 02:23 AM I really have other things I should be spending money on but this is damn tempting. Definitely on my list of things to do some time soon :icon_tup:

It does come with the black bracket in the first pic, this customer spent another $10 for a special modification he needed to do.
bumblebeerx8 04-24-2011, 07:38 PM ive been looking at this too. next oil change ill pry pick one up if i can get different line lengths if needed
Race Roots 04-25-2011, 09:47 AM Lines are precut and fittings already installed only the one size.
paporx8 04-25-2011, 11:16 AM how much more difficult is it to install the none black one ? or is it just a matter of patience. And if i were to put it by my KN intake would any cutting or adjustment need to be done ?
Race Roots 04-25-2011, 02:04 PM The blue/red with silver lines are not as flexible as the black lines so it would make it more difficult to move around and route but not too much.
I am sure if you are mounting it by the intake some sort of modification would be needed, however it does come with brackets so at most you may just need to drill through the shield to secure the filter base.
Kusanagi 05-04-2011, 07:29 PM Received my kit yesterday, thank you Brice! and nice T-shirt too :)
I will mount the kit in a temporary location this weekend, and will get some laser cut bracket made for the RHD rx8, it's more difficult to mount in a RHD due to the water bottle and brake booster being in a different spot compared to LHD rx8, so see how I go.
Quarterly bonus coming in this Thursday!
Time to find something to spend it on ... mmmmmmmmmm

Hesselrode 10-29-2011, 04:26 PM Do these use stock oil filters or do I have to switch to a Freddy filter?
MS Addict 10-29-2011, 05:23 PM Oh no, don't tell me that's a Fram filter in that picture. I spy orange with that tacky black grip top..
And you should be able to use your stock filter just fine with it. Just like a stock one in the pics.

You can use the stock oil filter without issue.
