So many things to do in spring.......
- lowering springs
- B-pillar applique
- NEW interior LEDs
- Touch up paint chips, polish, revitalize paint with new Meguiars dual-action polisher...

Come on ******* weather... play nice and give us the warmth!!!!

 

Anyone know where I can get good paint to paint the hubs of rotors.

 

G2 paint system... time for another group buy!

 

Im in, i think scott needs some too, we need them before we get our rims on by april

 

I'm in for the paint for the ugly hubs

Footman, which springs and which B Pillar?

 

Hey Footman...since you like all the group buys, should do one for the SS.

 

SS? what is SS? Luftwaffe? Blitzkrieg? what? what?

 

ss = sunlight silver

 

That still makes no sense.. what the hell is "a group buy for the sunlight silver" then?

 

Eibach, and the genuine Mazda piano black B-pillar with RX-8 lettering at the bottom... I already have it, just waiting for warm weather and a handwashed car clean enough to install the damn thing.

 

SS = short shifter lol

 

ss = sunlight shifter

 

I'm so tempted to get the gearing done now...aaaa...waiting to find out price.

 

when you find out how much let me know, i'm tempted now too!!!

 

you guys are really into that arent you? im just not willing to have my speedometer out for the amount of difference that i think this will make. I also voiced my opinion about how i think it will make shifting more frequent and annoying. if i was on the track alot and could use tighter gearing then i might concider it....but my slow rotary keeps me out of trouble on the street. haha.

 

Well you know my opinion, i think it will make the car faster and more drivable. If I owned a 2004-2008 RX-8 it would be the 2nd mod I would make. (1st would be lowered with Eibach Pro Kit) lol

 

Al, hadn't you just finished telling us about how easy and cheap it is to simply use a shorter tire before we started talking about gearing?

Why don't you guys just try that? 225/40/18

 

olddragger has the smaller tire which comes close to mimicking 4.777 and said it made a noticeable difference. The guy I contacted about pricing still has nothing to tell me on that front...

 

Problem doing it with tire is 2-fold. 1st you will severely under tire your car and affect handling etc. The second problem is the same sppedo problem with the way it would read.

 

what? How does reducing the sidewall under-tire your car?

 

Will do!

Who did you contact thunder? I talked to the guys in Pickering (as Al suggested), they still have to get back to me. They have to looking seeing if it is the same as the RX7, since they actually haven't done an 8 yet. Said they will get back to me, I will post when I hear something.

Eibach springs - Al do you sell them?

 

Yes Al have Eibach springs in stock last time I check...

 

how much?

 

not instock.. that's just an empty box... but he can order. Call em... not allowed to post prices etc.

 

pm price?!?!

Cheapest I can find is from tirerack for $220us.
