Swing through dude. Maybe we can make it into a install meet?

 

hey, did any of you guys try the TITEK SS HEADER, I found one on ebay for 509, free shipping, don't know if RB charge shipping for their header or not. but this one seem similar to the RB header.

sorry for going off the topic alittle bit (still relates to the header but...)

 

Never heard of it. Where do you live though? Maybe you can come to our install thing this Saturday.

 

here is the link for the header
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TITEK...spagenameZWDVW

I can't come, I would love to come, in fact, I want to install the header myself too. I live in Denver, CO. far away from you guys.

once you done, let me know how you feel. also let me know what kind of tools you need to take down the OEM header.

 

I guess it looks nice....But i know the RB header has been dyno tuned and gives +5 hp give or take so i would go with that plus they are just a trusted vendor. Contact the people im linking to below cause they tried to sell me on but i already got it from lucky

https://www.rx8club.com/members/rx8_rotory_noobie-49945/ (he got one and its sitting in his closet cause he doesnt wanna install)

https://www.rx8club.com/members/pstnlss-35716/ (He got a GTspec header so contact him he got it from fluid a few months ago)

 

I just contact both of them, hope they answer soon. can wait to have the header install. btw, what is your next modd,

 

Cool, they will hit you back soon and i'm sure they havent sold it. For my next mod I want to get the COBB AP from MM but then i want to get some new rims cause mine are FINISHED with all the crack and dents they have due to NYC driving lol

Thinking about these with a staggered setup:


Also i'm going to sell my OEM style carbon fiber hood for $150....Its fadding but a wax and buff will get it looking like new in no time.

Clear is messed up on 1 spot but you cant notice it unless your looking for it. The points on the corners of the hood are kinda dinged up from the previous owner standing it up on the hing part but overall for 150 its a great deal....If anyone wants it ill bring it through on saturday.

 

when i got my header installed on the 8, the header was leaning against the crossmember and that cause vibration whenever you let go the clutch, so i bought a brace kit to replace the crossmember and now the vibration is not that bad, again my header is from boostbrothers.

 

yeah, me too, I'm kinda debating between two item right now, one is the header and the other is COBB AP. I guess i can go for the header first then wait for another...century to get the AP. lol. I would love to buy a used AP if there is one.

 

But then you wont get the custom car tune.......Better to buy it from MM and get the custom tune for free.

 

oh....is that so....well then. I will buy from MM then. just bought a RB short shifter while brousing the forum. now i'm low in cash for the header now.

 

RB shifter is a awesome mod! one of the best i have!

 

did you buy a gasket for the header to the mid pipe. the guy sold me his header ( thank for you susgestion Juansito) susgest that I should replace the gasket between the header and the mid pipe. do you know where to buy those gasket. did you have your header install yet. any problem before and after the install.??

 

huh? wft?

beers

 

you can get the gasket at the dealer or a vendor on this site.

beers

 

I will try the dealer once I got it. also, do you guys think that i should install the header and the clutch at the same time or do the clutch first and then header later? the reason why I ask because I just receive a new exedy stage 1 clutch today and really want to install it. the header not going to come untill next week.? should I wait.?

 

exactly.

Juansito I just left a message on your cell. let me know if all is good. I can use my friends garage. rain or shine it will get done!

oh btw nygps is invited

this will be a shorter trip for you guys too since I have access to a garage.

beanz-

 

is it gamechilds garage?? i heard he has a lift.....

i need proof lol.

 

Ahh, where to meet tho ?

someone better tell me before 9am tomorrow. if not. I'll be trapped (GF FTL ) and wont be able to go anywhere for the rest of the day ...

 

not @ gamechilds. who needs a lift when you have a strong lad with a good back lol

I wouldn't mind going to gamechilds to use a lift. nygps drive up to my pad in medford. 135 oak st.

did I make your 9 a.m. time frame?

 

No you did not T_T (cuz women never keep their promises ... )

NOw I have to go out ... and I cant see the header install

I HATE YOU !!!!! :P

 

plan the escape by 11:30 ish my boy is not going to be home until 12:30.

besides, I gotta hit up juansito now.

 

GAMBEAN dude, thanks for so much for everything last night man you are the man dude!

That HEADER INSTALL was a str8 up bitch!!! 2 stops to petboys 2 stops to the hardware store 2 cases of Heinekens and some BBQ and in total about 7-8 hours we got it installed.

We had to remove the ******* crossmember cause you cant fit the damn RB header in cause it sticks out 2 much. plus the ******** that sold me the header didnt give me the bolts for the damn emissions air pump and those were a ******* bitch to get installed too......

Now the good....Im not joking when i say the RB header increases low end RPM like a bitch!!! Its not no butt dyno either and it sounds awesome!!! The speed to redline is way faster than before and i know i redline my car almost 20 times a day so when i took it around the block the redline was faster.

If you got the time man its definity worth the install but it is is a bitch -- a lift would make it so much easier! remember you have to remove the cross member when doing it or it wont fit.

Gambean man thanks so much for your hard work.....

 

you did it. now it will be my turn soon. would be help it you took some picture of your installation though. I thinking of doing it myself with some friends too. what kind of tool you need for the install.

you said you have to stop by pet boys. for what. buying a gasket. btw, do you need a new gasket for the header and the midpipe.? any reference will help man.

again, congrats

 

And mine
