I will try to get one going sometime soon. Then we could go from there. Maybe we can try it on another day besides Friday for certain people.

I just talked to another new owner that will be picking up his 8 sometime this week. Turnout this time should be great if they come out.

What bumper are you getting & is it already painted/fitted?

You should definitely get that checked before other things go wrong!

Hey guys, I have only had my 8 for about 2 months now and the addiction is more intense than I could imagine. What a sweet car. Anyway, I'm hoping I can get some help from local Houston members with a few items:

1.) I want to do a compression test. I want to install NOS but need to check engine health. Anyone know how to do this?

2.) Anyone installed nitrous before?

3.) How can I adjust my camber? I am told you can do this with stock camber arms (I have Tanabe springs)

4.) I have a lip kit being shipped to me and need it painted. I read someone here does paint. I would love a quote.

I pay in beer and food and am willing to turn a wrench for anyone else that needs a hand (obviously I will pay money for paint). I'm not terribly savvy mechanically but I do any work on my own that I can. I plan to do the NOS by myself (yikes).

Yeah, I'm sure. I've been doing my research and it seems harmless enough. Plus, the dealership is replacing my motor next week, so I'll have a brand new one. Also, you don't have to spray all the time....

I'm back from my hiatus.

I just got my plugs and BHR coils and wires so I hope to get this project installed in a month. Gotta fix my other car first.

I'm a newb so I've been researching on installing the BHR. I have a decent idea but the getting the new bracket in sounds tricky.

If anyone is interested feel free to join in and learn with me!

^ I'm going to bump this request.

Time is very limited for me; I'd be willing to pay someone for their time, garage, tools; of course I'd help. I love to learn but I don't have much free time to tinker and problem solve.

Request: : I need help installing BHR coils/wire and change plugs. Involves mounting the bracket, I have no clue.

Let me know, I'm thinking of somewhere like $10 an hour.

Please email me @ integra.thanh@gmail.com
