Too bad you have the NAV eh cortc? You can't install the MS gauges!

Think you'll ever install the rollcage?

Why would you want the braided clutch line? Just because it's offered?

You can get it from canzoomer i'm not sure about the short shifter though but maurice can get a lot of things from mazdaspeed japan. If not Chuck at rotaryextremem can import just about anything. It's not cheap though.

Well the MS clutch line improves clutch modulation and feel and with the flywheel should really make a difference... As for the brake lines I just installed last weekend; what a difference, very solid pedal feel...

Just received confirmation from Maurice at Canzoomer that the parts will be here by Sept 30th... The under brace will be here within a week or two; that should stiffen things up nice...

and yes.. I really want that short shifter. Tell us how it feels when in.. My arms are very long and i have to tweak my wrist a bit to shift. if my hand sat even 1 inch lower I would be happy.

Good luck with the installs.

Ohh and its very obvious why you want that braided clutch line. That's going on my car ASAP.

great. but its only really working as a long RCA cable.. untill we can get our hands on a JDM t.v. tuner. here read the DIY here https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-mazda-oem-rca-input-install-35676/

it shows the install.. btw i have one more if anyone wants to to buy it. $130.00 ..

p.s. where did you get the shifter ? and did you also change your upper cross brace to the CF or racing beat one.. or did you just leave the OEM brace.

I'm getting ready to order:

RX-8 Front Shocks (2) QSEA-34-700
RX-8 Rear Shocks (2) QSEA-28-700
RX-8 Front Sway Bar QSEA-34-151
RX-8 Rear Sway Bar QSEA-28-151
RX-8 Rear Sway Bar End Link (2) F151-28-170
RX-8 Lowering Sport Springs Set of (4) QSEA-34-01Z

I was wondering why Mazda calls the sway bars "Stabalizer Bars"? They list this part number for sway bars which is different from above: GRMS-8M-K07.

And what about these: RAMS-8M-K01 Coil Over Suspension?? Any comments cortc?

I think the RAMS-8M-K01 is the beat all of suspension parts.. there pricey but i would love the ability to adjust on the fly.

Anyone running these yet ?
