Just a few questions
So I spent some time and read this https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/new-potential-owners-start-here-202454/ and it shed light on most of my own questions. However I do have 4 more I want to ask and I would appreciate some feedback from fellow owners.
1st question: Thoughts on cat deletion. Im interested in a midpipe and removing my cat. I do understand (based on what i read around here) that cat deletion can really help with keeping your renesis healthy. How does that come into play with emissions etc? I want to run without my cat do you have suggestions? I still have stock exhaust do i need aftermarket to apply this? I also have a k&N typhoon (which im selling to a friend then buying a RevI rb cai).
2nd Question: Thoughts on grounding; I saw this on ebay idk why it says "performance chip" but it seems to be a grounding kit aka voltage stabilizer. I want to buy this now and installation seems easy enough. I figured this would help with low idle issues etc. It claims to help with voltage and engine kink over does this seem worth it? http://goo.gl/Lo0Nw
3rd question: I understand wheel spacers move your rim outwards and i see that term thrown around here alot; do i really need them? Are they just for looks? My previous pair of tires seemed to stick out a bit more at the back but the new ones seem to be closer. Cant really explain it but im guessing spacers will fix that issue right lol?
4th Question: Last and final question for you guys! My A/C does this weird thing where when i put it on cold it blows hot air; I have to turn it off then back on and the air comes out ice cold. Its really weird. If i turn the dial all the way to the left it will blow hot, and it i turn all the way to right it blows cold. This issue doesnt happen all the time just occasionally. Could this be related to the missing undertray i have on the drivers side (left)? I believe it happens in hot temps only.
Thanks in advance to anyone that responds, just give me your opinion, suggestions or tell me what you use! I'd like to hear.

5th Question:
Why don't you use the search function? All of the answers you seek are easily found. No one wants to spoon feed you. And even if they do, are you going to just take their word for it?

I did use the search function for most of it. Im not looking to be spoon fed just some opinions; and yes im open to suggestions and ill probably take their word as idk anything about cars. If i had found an answer to my questions i wouldn't have created a thread for the last 4 i needed answered. If you arent going to help keep your post to yourself. No need to be a dick buddy......

2.) I'm not even going to warrant the chip discussion much thought besides "No."
3.) You don't need spacers, unless you have some crazy weird sized rim....stock rims work fine.

1.) Midpipes are cool and all, but you will not pass any form of emissions for obvious reasons. Some midpipes fit stock catbacks.
2.) I'm not even going to warrant the chip discussion much thought besides "No."
