Good morning fellow RX8ers

As a new owner - only 10 days - I ordered my first goodies for my new ride.
I am posting some pictures and please tell me what do you think.

Note: The first two items , Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Car Kit for my P990i and ScanGauge II , are already reveived but not installed yet.

Thanks

 

sweet! i've never seen those pieces for the steering wheel before, but maybe i just haven't been looking.

 

I have all the set. It came from Japan but these were missing from the wheel. Now its complete

 

what set? where did you get it? how much? pics?

 

When I saying all the set I mean all the piano black JDM interior parts.
They came stock on my car for Japan
What is included (expept the radio face of course):
-Door handles
-Door buttons surroundings
-Rear view window surrounding

The only one missing was the wheel parts.
Now that I ordered them its complete.

Those piano black is by far better looking and more stylish than the carbon fibre ones.

 

If those are valve stem caps in your fourth picture...............be prepared as they will get stolen.

 

Welcome to the forum! Pardon the newbness, but what is Scan Gauge?

 

the shinkas come with the piano black pieces

 

first of all some details on the scangauge ii you can find here:
http://www.scangauge.com/

secondly I am aware of the chance to get stolen for these valves.

Life is Sh+t

 

Now the wheel matches my doors as you can see.
Thanx JapanParts.
(sorry for the crap photos...i am working on it)

 

Japanparts takes a Bow; thanks for your Order and welcome back anytime

ooooo...so that Scangauge works wth CAN? Might have to save up...

 

Scangauge is also perfect by the way.
The good thing is that is plug and play, it can save times and readings,
it does not require and drilling or cutting the dashboard and finally when you get bored looking it in your 8 you can easily unplug it and plug it in your wifes SUV

After this present she can thank you, big time....

 

Can you post a picture of where the connector for the scangauge is at on our cars? Thanks!

 

Yes I will post the pic in the afternoon.
Its the ODB II plug under the steering wheel.
This plug can be found in most of the cars produced after 1996...

 

Installation of ScanGaugeII completed.
After 2 months trying to find the best place for ScanGaugeII today morning as I was driving I found it.
Went directly home and installed it.
Take a look of the pics. Tell me what do you think.
Tonight I will take some more night shots.

 

no cruise control?

 

Cruise control is for sissies just joking
My 8 is JDM and in Japan it was too hard to find a white one with Cruise Control.
Anw I would never use it here in Cyprus.
There is only one highway street crossing the whole island.
So it does not bother me really.

 

As I promised. Some night shots.
Notice the Colour setup

 

some more

 

i just never realized that you can get an RX8 without it.

 

looks weird without the cruise control buttons. but nice congrats on the new car and yeah sorry that your valve stems are going to be stolen. You should probably keep them off besides days you go to car meets.

 

Yeah fortunate.
You are right.
The good thing is that RX8 is my weekend car,
for workdays I drive an old Nissan Sunny.
So no worries about the valve stems, for now
