I've added a few things to my list.

My ssv is sticking so attempt to fix without removing it.
Clean Spark plugs for good measure.
Repair crack in bumper, then repaint it.
Install Shine auto burnout front lip.
Mount Simon's tires on my new wheels and put them on.

if you need a shop to repair and repaint your bumper, let me know. The guy that fixed my ms bumper did an awesome job at a great $$$.

My buddy's place is called Viz Autohouse in Markham

https://foursquare.com/v/viz-auto-ho...85c9280187bd21

He use to service a couple rx8 on this forum. Mill Chan for one and another member with a yellow rx8 running an ING's kit.

Tell him that the Rick with the red rx-8 referred you.

I cracked my authentic ms bumper at track and his body guy was able to fix it for me whereas no where in Markham would or could do it.

I went with the TurboXS header and the BHR midpipe.
I already had the Greddy SP2 cat back.
Sounds good. Nice and deep and only slightly louder than when I had the stock exhaust manifold and catted midpipe.

I was gonna give it a shot myself, I've done quite a bit of body work. One of my friends had a compressor with a spray gun, I just need to get the paint mixed.

Hey Simon were you coming back from the shop when I saw you?

I going to bring them with me tomorrow but we've got a lot of work to do on the car so they may not get done. If not, I'm going to get them changed early next week.

Im gonna check this place out thanks. I want to get my trunk lid repaired and painted. Damn rust under the lip. Might as well fix it early. Probably going to de-badge too.

Installed my coilovers and end links last night. Huge difference. The stock ones were really getting bad. Dropping rims off monday to get powder coated. Cant wait to get the summer tires on. New clear corners coming in next week too. I hated my old ones after a few months. They are the ones without reflectors. What a waste of money. Ah well.

Take care.
