For X-mas I gave my RX-8....
Thought this might be a fun thread.

I'll start:
For X-mas I gave my RX-8 a day at the spa. (aka a wash and 3 fresh coats of Zaino)
- 4 new Toyo T1R tires
- RP Supercat


How bout you guys? (feel free to also post pics)

Yes because it's a daily driver...
I've already scraped over some speed bumps on road trips so lowering is impractical for me.
Now I have to get my D-specs

Let's see:

AFE Short Shifter
Pettit Racing ECU Flash (no CEL, butter-smooth idle, 40+rwhp)
Racing beat gauge pod and Nordskog gauges coming soon

I can't think of anything else to buy for this car....

When you do put them in, I'd like to see them. This is very similar to what I was thinking of doing.

BTW.......Merry Christmas to you and the family!

That's me thinking ahead to my Tokico shocks. Those are the rear adjuster cables.
