Xtreme,
I just got mine 3 days ago....believe me, the wait is worth it. An auto as well (am really no good anymore using a stick). Now thinking of changing to 17" . Felt that his would have a balance tire profile and rim with the car size. I know most people would like even to change to 19" but personally, I already think 18" is too large.
SO, for those who wanted to change wheel to either 18" or 17", been doing a little calculation on diameter of wheel so that it stay as close as to the original (so that it won;t screw up the speedometer that much):
225/55/16" - 25.7 " Original basic auto
235/40/18" - 25.4
225/45/18" - 25.97
225/40/18" - 25.08
225/40/17" - 24.08
225/45/17" - 24.97
225/50/17" - 25.86 Looks like this combination is ideal.

If u wanna spot a mm RX, look out for the moon/sun roof & headlight washers instead. PIs have dual tone leather seats too!
Cheers!

hello guys,
coming for my first service, feel like changing all the fluids in the car...
what sort of engine oil are you guys using? the book (the jap manual) reccomended 0w20 SL grade which is a bit thin...
and how about the ATF oil? what sort of oil should we change to?
thanks!

Order a Velocity Red from mm a couple weeks ago. I have 2 tone red leather seats. But that increased my booking fees to 21k. The delivery date also later. Estimated in october. Sigh.....

hi guys and gals,
i'll be an owner of the 8 soon. probably in sept or even oct as i might not have the time to collect it. i think i'm quite an idiot to get the 8 for a car as i'm only around less than 2 weeks per month!!
but i guess, it'll be 2 weeks of hapiness each month.
cheers,
pharaoh

Hey all,
My 8 has been in SG since the beginning of August but won't be on the road until mid September and neither will I. Would love to get together with you guys, but gonna have to give the Sept meet-up a miss. Organize a big one in Oct or later lah... I bring my DSLR to snap for everyone
Cheers!
