Spare tire kit installation for RX8
I purchased a spare tire kit over the internet for my RX8 but there are no installation instructions. Does anyone have any information on how to obtain installation instructions or a service bulletin for the spare tire kit? Has anyone tried to install a spare tire kit before?

I installed mine last weekend. Took about an hour and was a very straight-forward installation. I had a complete kit with instructions but found them only marginally helpful. The diagrams where somewhat misleading and the text (like many Japanese translations) could have been written better. Unfortunately, I tossed the instructions when I was done.
I considered taking some pictures of the install for a DIY post, but I’ve been just too damned busy.
If you really get stuck, P/M me and I’ll try and help you out. If you have all the parts laid out I’d be happy to talk you through the installation. I don’t trust myself to type out the procedure from memory and once you hear what needs to be done I think you’ll be able to get it pretty easily. If I get a chance this week maybe I’ll take my spare out and take pictures of the key areas of the installation.

Thanks for the link with the instructions...just what I needed.
I also would very much appreciate a picture of the installation without the tire in place. I was glad to hear that this is a straight forward installation.

They take up a heck of a lot of room.......and a puncture doesn't happen too often if the pressures are kept up. Do all NA RX-8's have TPMS?
