I've got the 6 speed myself...
I'd love to do any runs, so we'll definitely do a run at the end of the April.
Phat - have a good one! Will you be online at all for us to arrange the run? Otherwise, perhaps we should exchange numbers or something...

1 x Cerwin Vega vmax 12" DVC in boot
2 x Cerwin Vega 5x7 in front doors
2 X Cerwin vega 6x9 on Back shelf.
it should very clear, no boot rattle or anything, the only problem is the stock radio is quite weak and it's not as loud as it could be.
i've also got blue led's fitted in the interior and under the side mirrors.
got the fron autoillumination.com
the car looks brilliant at night.

But I do reckon red puddle lights in the door mirrors would match the red lighting on the bottom of the inside of the door pretty well... Which led's did you get from autoillumination? Was the install easy?

Also, I tried autoillumination.com, but it comes up with some "Network Solutions" kinda search page - I'm sure that's not right - is there a dash like auto-illumination (tried that one as well) or something else that's in there. Also tried googling it and couldn't find the actual web page...
Anyway - looking forward to the pics!

howzit guys? im back, c the thread's been quite... 
missed my 8! so breakfast run's off 4 2morrow, 
next weekend sunday's now the new date, the 25th. who's all coming? NVIGOR8. your sound install: the solution to sort your ''under power signal'' problem out is a LINE DRIVER. most std units have a 2v-2,5v rca line output voltage, the Line Driver will boost ur signal up to 9v which is too much anyways, but it's fully adjustable. any good brand will do the job. any power (12v) problems? and did u get a cap or better batt? i c u got the VMAX sub, i thought u had the HED. 
Good Choice! 'post us some pics' IRQ5. those interior globes are available locally from Autostyle.

About that rear bumper change...
Hey Phat8...
I did a bit of searching around and found that I won't actually be able to change the rear bumper like I wanted
Turns out there are clips behind that section that hold the bumper onto the body...
https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...7&postcount=12
Oh well - I'll have to get hold of a proper kit one day - Will probably end up going for either the Mazdaspeed or the INGS+1 kit - really like them both!
Anyway...

those lights from autostle have only 1 led on them, the ones i bought have about 6 on them, far more brighter and clearer.
i'll look into the line driver, thanks for the advice.
i'll post some pics on monday, things have been hectic, I'm doing an MBA, so ther's not much time for anything else.
enjoy the breakfast run on sunday.
