Some AutoExe additions to the car that I made a few weeks ago...the car is now noticeably more stable at high speed, corners more neutrally, chassis flex and diff noise are way down. The 6 point front strut bar was incredibly difficult to figure out the fitting on, since getting it down between the cowl and fenders isn't very easy...I also had to draw in the passenger metal a bit in order for the bolts to draw their threads in. I'd highly recommend the Member Brace Set, and strut tower bar set to any RX-8 owner, though. Installing yourself gives a sense of accomplishment, and the driving rewards are well worth it.

Looks purdy I wouldn't want to uninstall that bar anytime I needed to tear apart the engine. But then again as an NA S2 owner you probably don't ever have to do that

Knock on wood! hahah. I'm hoping that my Renny holds out for long enough to get the funds for a NA 3 rotor to be built for her....that'd be the ideal transplant. In the meantime, I've just been doing my best to keep ahead of the maintenance curve, and keep her happy.

Thanks for the compliment on how it all looks :]. Cutting the carpet in the trunk to make the rear bar look factory took a good bit of effort, as did removing the larger king pin bolts underneath.
