I figured this would be the best place to post about my upgrade for 8.

So I just got back from deployment yesterday (glad to be home) and have been waiting to get this started.

List of parts that I will be putting into the car;
Emersil HP racing turbo kit
Tsunami front bumper & side skirts
Complete audio system (Kicker exclusive)
Tein coilover system with electronic dampening force controller
Agency power sway bars (front&back)
Greddy tower strut bars (front&back)
ACT Heavy Duty clutch kit(super street disc) with a PROlite flywheel &counterweight
Sparco R100 racing seats
Greddy pulleys
Greddy oil pan
A few other small things as well

More pictures will be forthcoming with more parts arriving

I'm still waiting on the turbo due to the fact that the BB upgrade was on backorder

Thanks man! Here are a few more photos of some parts that came in today. I have to go buy a new battery tomorrow. My old just crapped out on me. It's delaying my audio install.

Lookin good and nice upgrades you got goin on.

Thanks everyone. Installed the Metra Kit last night and that was a damn pain. Pretty much only took before and after pictures, because I wanted to lose it with that thing. Today is wiring my subs and putting in all the new speakers.

Welcome back it's bad to go away on tour but it is great to get home having not sent any money for months. Good choice to max you car. I bought a house after my first tour. I used the money from my next 4 to emigrate to America, get married, deposit for a house and of course put down a big chunk of cash for my Rx8.

Coty Melancon

Well after two days I managed to finish my audio install and have everything complete. Turbo should be shipping soon and I'm gonna install the seats tomorrow.

Coty Melancon

Alright, so new seats are in. Trying to decide what should go in next.
