400$ per rim is quite cheap...... but italian rims? waats the brand? is it light? if its brandless, might as well go for SSW.... cos so much more designs with more offsets for u to choose from.....

Huh? u mean we can use various offsets for our car? I thought only one offset can use??

dunno wat brand, but looks nice and can tell the good quality... the silver colour of the rim also pretty light, like platinum compare to stainless steel, platinum is lighter, cleaner silver colour... :P

Beng there, done that! On the Beng-o-meter I'm still far away from 95% but it's moving higher every day, especially seeing the cool mods at the last meet :D

I don't know... maybe some lights under the seat. So when I open the doors the seat lighting from underneath turns on and with a flip if of a swich it pulses to the music.

Anyone has suggestion where I can get a wheel alignment done for the 8? or you think any big wheel shop (stamford) will do a good job already?

cheers

forget about stamford, they know nuts. not sure whether he can do the 8 (not sure if he would have the settings for the 8), do give this guy a call, kenny from riverview @ AMK autopoint level 4. in my opinion, he's the best in alignment. remembered last time whenever there's a big event in kallang, PG or sepang, his shop sure long q. do call to make appointment and check if he can do the 8.

Actually $11 per quart is cheap! our engine needs about 5 quarts, and most syn oil goes about $80-$150. And the trust oil which I'm using is already about $140.

Any idea if they carries the transmission and differential oil? I've tried redline so-so, will wanna try the RP next time if they do have it.

I definitely want to try R.E.
Please get a can for me cause i want to try and hopefully cross fingers no problem when its used in singapore.

Maybe if i support R.E. enough I can convert to aparadrink rx-8. (super wide bodykit) :D

knight sports' differential oil seems to heavy for the recommendation lah...?

can just pm me the price and the vol per can?

Frankly, i'm not fussy with engine oil. Cause i normally change them before they hit 5k, (15k now and already changed 5 times) so prefer to go with anything descent that's not too expensive. But of course, if the oil are make and meant for rotary, la gi good.

the engine oil is synthetic, and are meant only for rotary, definitely.... knight sports ones comes in 4Litres only.....

as for differential oil, this mixture is mixed for rx8 use, so shldn be a problem.....
