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

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?

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.

I have the MS front on my 8...worth all the $$$ I paid for it. Let me when your ready to lower your 8.... I'll be getting rid of my set of H&R springs next year...its way too low for my likings... Its about a 2+ drop.

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