ALL JACKSONVILLE RX8s!
where did you get the specs for the allignment from?
Well aslong as your happy thats all that counts.
Im very satisfied with the brake system, make sure to get the premium slotted and dimpled. i just bought pads from that site which is also cheaper then auto parts stores. how much was the brakes on the group buy? i also had a friend buy his brake system from that company and he loves them, especially since his car pushes over 300 hp but its not and rx8

I researched posts in this and a few other web sites about alignment set up for track use and settled on those numbers for combined street/track settings. As it turned out the rear passenger side tire began to degrade to fast, sounding almost like tread separation. So I took it back to Big Chief and they set alignment back to stock.

there is a DIY on this site for adding them. I did it and it works great. It is, however, a bit risky if your not good at soldering.
the axxess module just plugs in. No need for solder. And it shows song title and artist on the HU. Works great. I think they make a 3.5mm aux jack too, but I just have the ipod jack. Wish I would've done the aux also now...
Currently in North Carolina for Deals Gap Rotary Rally. Its completely badass. AND had some intense driving out here. I was able to keep pace with several Fd's and a 911 turbo, and actually put quite a gap between myself and a 20b. All in all a fantastic weekend! I do however need to upgrade my coolant system, couple runs on the dragon and had to stop to cool down

I do however need to upgrade my coolant system, couple runs on the dragon and had to stop to cool down 

What do you have in mind for the upgrade? I know we can get better radiators and you can do a 40/60 ratio of coolant and water which will help lower temps safely. My friend did that in his car but he had 35/65 and noticed better cooling in his car. he's been running that for over a year on his daily driver and no problem. just a though.
Well, for a daily drive, the coolant system is fine. However, 7000rpm's + sustained for 11 miles tends to be a bit much for the car. By next year I plan on having a bigger radiator and a better flowing water pump. Also considering a vented hood. I still have a year to plan before it happens again 

Yeah i've seen the upgraded water pump in the GB for sale but it had some draw backs at the time as it was race freindly but not a dd. well since your considering a vented hood..... you can try it on your own first to save some money. this way if you mess up, you were planning on getting a new one anyway but if it comes out good..... money in the bank. youtube and google has some diy for this.
eh, not really interested in hacking at my stock hood. I am not in any way good at body work. I can screw panels on and line them up, but cutting, sanding painting, I leave that to the people with the appropriate tools and equipment.
