1. aesthetics - interior and exterior
2. handling
3. brakes
4. ICE
5. exhaust - but have to get the right ones! some are not tested on auto 8 and will result in lost of power
6. intake - same goes for intake

Anyway, like what you guys have mentioned, mods for the auto 8 is limited and what's available for the manual 8 may not work well for the auto 8. So if you drive an auto 8, better read here or check with the auto 8 owners before you get the mods. Some have already tried and suffered so benefit from their experience. By the way, I found aftermarket ventilated slotted brake rotors for the auto 8s. In case you don't already know, the auto 8s have smaller front brake rotors, 302.5mm compared to the 320mm on manual 8s, and not many brake rotor manufacturers actually make the smaller brake rotors for the auto 8s.

That's the one... but any DBA distributor in SG? I don't know of any RB distributor but I'm sure places like McWell or other workshops can order in for you. Just don't install at McWell lah. Still going to cost quite a bit for shipping coz it's HUGE ***, that's why I'm trying to bring back myself.

Can we install another cooler like in the manuals?
I do think the 8 is quite well tuned and there isn't much to do anymore. And alot of mods are untested or unproven. And the complexity adds to the difficulty of modding further.
Then again, its a boon as it can help me save more cash!!!

Don't forget to factor the cost of new brake pads for your new rotors. (plus steel braited brake lines / u will need new brake fluid too bro) ...... wondering with all this, u almost can get a Endless 6 pot already ...... :D :D
