When I saw it all that was there were some letters, lol.

Are the stock speakers really that bad, or is it just a fun thing?

Legot,

I was getting some heavy crackling from the rear speakers so i want them gone. Since im doing them, i might as well upgrade more while im at it. I already have it all torn apart so why not right.

Im still hoping i can find someone who has done what im going to attempt to do so i can read what they have done and how they did it. I hate electrical crap.

I always do that when i update pics just so i know they work before i type everything out.

Update,

I just purchased quite a few parts off of a friend of mine. It was like Christmas on my day off i loved it.

So in this haul i have..
-Syncro saver(RX8Performance)
-Alum. Oil pan(RX8Performance)
-Engine mounts(RX8Performance)
-Oil cooler screens(Hymee)
-Cobb AP
-Clutch pedal reinforcement bracket

Im slowly cleaning up and repainting everything i've taken off so far. I just layed the first layer of black on my crash bar before i left for work.

I have pictures and i'll update when i get a chance.

Legot,

I have not forgotten.
A lot has gone on in the past few weeks, some good, some bad.

As i said though i have gotten in some new parts from a friend and i figured i should share.

To the far left is new Engine mounts, Syncro saver, clutch pedal reinforcement bracket and the box is for my new COBB AP.

Second in from the left is my new Oil Pan. Under it's right side are Hymee oil cooler screens.

Next picture is my wife's Christmas present Squeeks(white and black). Tan one is Sophie and Marley is running around somewhere..

Last picture is my new Oil Filter relocation kit that i purchased from Bryan4140.

The Oil Pan is from RX8Performance.

It is a very sick pan

Are you building the engine? Upgraded seals/Porting or is it just a stock reman going in?

GK,

I have a low mileage motor with high compression scores across the board lined up for the time being.

Im going to rebuild My current engine slowly so i can learn the process.

I will eventually get a motor from Pettit or BHR <- that will be ported, pinned and upgraded seals obviously.

So yes, once done i will have 3 engine's total, as long as nothing gets Fubar.

I hope that pan fits better than the one I installed that had to be cut and ground on to get fit. It looks like it has been redesigned but still makes installing and removing the engine without hitting it a PIA though.

It's just a Blox oil filter relocation kit for a Honda, you can get it new for $80.00, all you need is correct length hose and fittings (any hydraulic hose shop will sell high quality hose and fittings). Race Roots just makes the hoses and sells the kit for three times the price,
