Well back to modding the RX8!
In January our Driveway had a new baby added to it. It is the Pontiac Solstice. Been acting crazy ordering for it and completely forgot about the other cars in the Driveway. And since I have to get my wives car up to par to beat Daisy this year I am gonna need to start soon. >LoL< Will be posting pics of it tomorrow since I am on the laptop today and all the pics are loaded on the Home Computer.

No clue really yet. I have a full body kit on the way as of yesterday. Already have the Revi Intake and Exhaust. Looking into some header to add to the mix, but dont really want the OBX one i have seen. Have an email in with Revi about when theirs will be coming out.
Dont really wanna turbo it so i am no sure where i am wanting to go at this point. Any ideas?

Depends on which route you would like to go with the mods. There are enough to keep you busy. My goal in Interceptor by EOY, and Supercharger 1 year after Hymee and Axial releases theirs.

Well havent been on here in a little while. So not sure what all has come out recently. Since it is the wifes car she is a looks person, so I am mostly gonna go looks until i find a decent F/I kit that has been tested and then run with that.
Big0: Hmmmm is that a challenge? We are taking it up to JT Auto Customs next month for a full custom Stereo install. Dunno what is gonna take to win best of show and all, but we like a good challenge!

Upgrading the brake system improves stopping. You dont always need better stopping only when racing i believe

that brake upgrade knocks 24lb off the front suspension
otherwise, you have a lot left to learn ...

There is always stuff people can learn. Even you!
BTW: If I was wanting to make this my fastest car I would. But since I have an SRT-4 that will blow away the RX8 in a race, it really doesnt seem worth it....
Thanks for the info though.

I mean it is a giving in a straight line. That would be overkill to even mention that.
