Oh the addiction...

Ahh the addiction is calling me to order something else for my 8. But the wallet looks at me with disgust....


Anyone else run into this same problem or am I just the only one?

You know you ain't the only one.

Right now I really want a front air dam but.....

Hah, my 8 is mostly stock because of that. I try to think of it as money/value, and when everything that makes this car better costs half what the car is worth, the money goes towards different things.

If I told you guys, it would ruin the surprise.

great choice!
I bought that as an X-mas gift for a local member, he's loving the shift ****. It's a fantastic combination with the AFE

^+1 Trunk spoiler FTW!

My trunk spoiler of choice is secret tho only about 4 members have them

To the op - one thing i can tell you about getting bit by the mod bug - no matter how well you plan out your list - there's a good chance it'll change in the near future. New products are always coming out for the 8 so don't be surprised if your plans suddenly changes - i know i went wayyyy off from my original mod list

People are installing "short shifters" when the rx8 already comes with a very very short shifter. How small do you want to go down to? Tweezer size?

Some sense is in order.

"Manual shifters rotate in a ball and cup joint. Increase the length of the arm below the joint and there's a corresponding decrease in the distance you have to move the shift **** to change gears."

It's a lever thing.
