Welcome to the forum, guys; enjoy!

 

More new 8's again?! It must be about time for someone to wreck again... I don't think I will be driving for a while.

 

There can be only one!

 

It sucks, because with my record so far, it will probably be me! Oh well. I upgraded after my last one got totaled. I wouldn't mind another upgrade. lol

 

lol welcome guys and there will be no wrecks! mine will also go thru the whole winter but the winters here really arent that bad...

 

I just wish I had some winter tires/rims. But I pretty much have no money as with the new car, my monthly payments went up.

 

welcome to the forums kasfin i know the feeling the backseat when it came to my daughter she said "i look cool in this car daddy" that did it for me. the R3 is a great choice as well if you ever decide to sell the recaros let me know.

 

ryan what are you talkin bout no one has GReddy in stl? you should know better than that. lol. yea Mizzou is the place to be this weekend. This place was crazy this weekend just talking about next weekend, even Dean Edwards (the guy from Saturday Night Live) was in Columbia at the bars talking about how he wished his show was next weekend. Game is at 7 PM Nate.


Welcome to the site guys, happy modding!!!

 

My price range is 600 and down. I'm going to Rob's Muffler tomorrow to see what mi custom exhuast will be. I'll probably go with flowmaster or cherry bomb. Thinking about pairing up a mid-pipe with it. Anyone with mid-pipes, any problems with them (cel's going off)? And I drive mine year round. Snow tires won't help much. The car is too light for the tread to be effective. I've worked at a couple tire shops. Best thing is to drive slow, drive smart, and don't drive if u don't have to. Enjoy your R3

 

Flowmaster Super 10 or Cherry Bomb Extreme

 

Well for 600 and lower theres only two exhaust I know of other than a custom setup like it looks like you're going to do.
HKS Hi Power and Turbo XS unless you get a used system from someone on here.

 

I agree. That's why I thought I would go with the custom. Plus I'll be the only one. I'll dub the exhaust "the highlander". :o)

 

Any midpipe without a catalytic converter will cause the car to throw a CEL because the O2 sensors (pre and post cat) will not detect a change in air content. The only way to mask this is with an ECU tuner a la AccessPORT. I for one will be holding out for the BHR midpipe with cat and a Racing Beat exhaust.

Winter tires help tremendously from my experience with this car. Summer tires (and even some all-season tires) will have major difficulties on even the lightest dusting on the slightest incline. Winter tires change that.

 

Brett I was talking about the gretty SE exhaust you have the SP2 right? I didnt know anybody around that thad the SE lol I'm wanting to go back to the 8 or FD so bad ughhh

 

Cherry Bomb or Flowmaster damn you have an american muscle 8? It should be interesting to hear, i hope it sounds great... As for a mid-pipe Im selling mine (AP DR) im going to get a hi-flow cat at some point if your interested the price is 160 obo...

 

Anyone else for clumbia this weekend

 

At first I didn't think I would like the recaros, but after a 4 1/2 hour drive from chicago to STL, I realized how nice they are. They were pretty comfortable, I can't believe anyone would complain about the seats.

I just dropped my son of at school and grin on his face when he got out of the car, he was hopeing everyone could see him getting out. The 8 is probably one of the coolest cars compared to all the minivans and suv's that the mothers drive at his school. The only other car that gets my attention there is by a dad who drives his two kids to school in a Black STI.

 

Sti always has to one-up us. Hahahaha! They are way better then soccer mom cars and everyone loves the suicide door. Thanks for the offer on the mid, I think I'll also hold off for the high flow cat. I'm going to start a new trend, Jap-Muscle. :I) okay maybe not. I'm just looking for a nice aggressive sound and better flow.

 

I might be up for Columbia this weekend...get off at 530 though on thursday I'll see if I can get off sooner

 

Well if game is sat I may just go saturday or Friday. Depending what Brett recomends. So thusday is no biggie but I do work 10 am on Sunday lol

 

have a lax game saturday dont think ill be able to make it

 

I am going up to the Iowa v. Wisconsin game this weekend. lol I have an extra ticket if anyone wants to see where the real party is at!

 

Good news- robs muffler printed me out a quote for my "jap-muscle" exhaust also known as the highlander. Going with the flowmaster 10 series, 3" tips and 2.5" piping with shop fees and labor is $515.
Bad news- while it was lifted I noticed a fluid coming from my front right strut. They said it's probably blown. Lus fusz said I have to bring it in to see if it's covered under warranty. So I have my fingers crossed. If they won't should I go with kyb or Monroe?

 

Cole u missed out today. That yellow 8 was at the ve today. Mini rx8 rally if u showed up.
