From what I heard it won't add any noticable performance at all, just a more aggressive sound. Doesn't seem these little rotaries like boltons to much.

Hey, I just saw a yellow RX-8 w/ a MSpeed spoiler and a gigantic Pikachu sticker on the hood. Going on the 880 north.
I think this is a dude on the forums. I read about it a while back.
Nice looking car, I so want a MSpeed spoiler.

I didn't get to hear the BOV, we were both in traffic but I was lucky and had a dude w/ me so I was in the carpool lane.
Good looking car, given I might not have gone w/ the Pikachu on the hood but I'd kill for that spoiler.

Alas, no BOV fun for me right now--I just installed Moton Club Sport shocks and going through the break-in period before getting them corner-weighted. Although I may end up removing and reinstalling the rear shocks in order to add helper springs.

Where'd you get the MS spoiler? I'm definitely in the market for one... just trying to find a decent price.

I'm pretty stoked, I'm getting the Axial Flow short Shifter this weekend.

LionZoo had a smell from his gearbox, he went there to get it fixed. See, I wouldn't lead you guys wrong.
Dontfeedthenerd, if you are looking for the MS spoiler, either talk to Lazi, or buy one from, finishlineperformance, they sell the primered and ready to paint.

Who's going to be able to make it out on Friday? I'll be there and I know Adam will be there showing off his new "mod". Hopefully I will be able to install the front springs before Friday.

So apparently the Firestone lifetime alignment thing is only to put it within the manufacturer's recommended spec. Obviously that won't work for me as I want the car at a perfectly tight spec. Anyone care to comment?
