Pics to come shortly!

So what else have you guys bought for your 8 for x mas?

 

I wish I could say something. And I did. I bought my first house, so that I have a nice garage for the 8

 

^ Congrats on the house! Now you can wash the car in your garage in the winter

 

Jeurgen thats awesome bro. where abouts? last i recalled you werent that much older than I was. So definately an accomplishment! Maybe its time for me to stop dickin around and start saving for a house, but sheesh the mod bug just bites so hard especially around this time of year, when i see alot of nice cars on the forums where theres nice sunny weather. Makes me wanna go crazy with the car.

 

I know the feeling Kris!

Congrats spdfrk! Getting a house at such an early age is a very big accomplishment!

Kris, you got a different set of rims??

Congrats spdfrk!
I remember buying my first house at the age of 24 or 25. It's a big step.

 

A new house is a great thing. I've been throwing my money away on rent (and cars) for too long. At least my townhouse has a garage ... although not one you could wash the 8 in, just a good storage spot.

And what are these 4 new things you got? Must be wheels ... so let's see.

 

Yes Sir, they got in just in time for xmas (I got them on xmaseve) I sold my old set to a local member on here.

ima snap pics today. the lips are freacking HUGE!

 

Hey guys how much does it cost to do calipers and rotors?

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/just-spent-my-income-tax-return-134025/ - Like in Shinks post??

 

That's a big brake kit. Probably $2000+ at least. Or you could just buy slotted rotors and paint your calipers. Kind of a pain to do just for looks though.

 

Hi Lesha.
RPM in Breslau has a nice package;
EBC slotted rotors
EBC Red Stuff pads
Powder coat of your calipers
Stainless Steel brake lines
Upgraded brake fluid.

You can join us for an install meet in the spring...

 

Sure but what is the cost?

 

Leesha,

They are GREX (Greddy) 6-Pot break kit in chrome... they cost more than $4K.... if you wanna be a really baller I'd get Project Mu kits... real JDM and slightly cheaper for under $3K... Buy u gotta have a set of big wheels to fit over those breaks!

 

I think that Dan quoted around C$1350.

 

Not bad...^^ Does anyone have a pic with red calipers on VR???

 

I was just looking for one...

 

ChrisM has them...we need him to post a pic...

Hey DarkBrew, I might PM you sometime to talk about RB sway bars. I'm just reading up on them to better understand what kind of a mod it is, benefits, etc.

 

Leesha, what is it you want? Red calipers, slotted rotors, or bigger brakes?

 

I was going to order the Racing Brakes that Rishi has up for sale (was quoted 835 USD Shipped) for the front set of aluminium calipers / brackets and pads.

But for that money and what i need my brakes for, its not worth it. I dont track the car, so im not going to waste money on a BBK. if its just for looks i can spend almost a grand somewhere else like towards a SC or turbo.

 

I like the slotted rotors and red calipers and bigger brakes....

 

Me too.

 

wheres these pics damnit?! i gotta see what wheels fit and 8 with a 5" lip
