I'm pretty excited. I just blew a wad on my "8" whats the general opinion on this list.
- Kenstyle rear (japanparts)
- Mint Blue side skirts (japanparts)
- GT competition CF fr. bumper (bodykitz)
- Razor CF hood (bodykitz)
- OEM CF trunk (bodykitz)
- Accolade fenders (Accolade)
- Esmeril Racing turbo kit (mazdaparts)
- Esmeril racing ignition (mazdaparts)
- Auto Exe Competition brake rotors Front/rear (mazdaparts)
- Auto Exe racing brake pads front/rear (mazdaparts)
- Auto Exe brake line set (mazdaparts)
- Agency Power Titanium exhaust kit. Cat deleted pipe/center pipe/catback exhaust (rx-7store)
- Apexi "EL II" boost/oil temp/oil pressure/water temp.electronic gauges (rx-7 store)
- Apexi "EL II" meter control box (rx-7 store)
- ACT motified street disk clutch (rx-7 store)
- ACT prolite flywheel (rx-7 store)
- Stainless clutch line (rx-7 store)

total for all this **** is over 20 000k. Anybody know a good divorce lawyer? I'm still looking for someone to install the Esmeril products and exhaust. Is there no one in B.C. that has rotory/turbo expereince? I live in Victoria and there isnt anyone here on the island that i can find.

nice list.

- you could have gotten the turbo cheaper from NgoRX8
- Accolade products suck. Let your body shop know they'll need to do a good amount of work to get everything lined up properly.

I spoke with NGO about the turbo but he didnt have the EMS. At the risk of sounding like a ***, I dont do used/second hand very well. New from Esmeril is less of a head ach and quicker.
As far as your Accolade coment. The fenders are beautiful. They may have a perfect fit issue but its nothing a little work cant fix. When they are done right they will be awesome.

Will do. I still haven't received anything yet. I did get a call from customs about the Front bumper, hood, and trunk lid.The custom brooker is sending me paper work to fill out. So much red tape. This is the hardest part of the wait, after you buy something you just want it in NOW!!! I'm planing to do all the engine/clutch/brake/exhaust work before any body work. I need to find someone close that has the experiance with RX8's and Turbos. I hear there is a group in Vancouver but.... ARE YOU OUT THERE? I NEED HELP!!

You should try ForceFed Racing in Langley. I am sure they would be able to help you with the install. You better join the BC RX8 club (http://www.bcrx8.ca/) so that I can drool over your ride at our meets.

Well there goes the HKS Hipermax. No longer available for the RX-8. I'm thinking about Tanabe Sustec Pro 5 w/ TEAS. Think that's a little over-board? I do plan on taking this thing on the track.
Anybody know how heavy the TEAS actuators are? What kind of power drain would this have on the Esmeril Battery? Having Active suspension with 8 presets, all done in .013 of a second, triggered by your own speed settings and with a travel of -1 to -2in front and -3/8 to -2 1/4in rear, sounds fine to me. Opinions please.
