Are you gonna replace the filter color? As I told you before in the PM's, they all come with a yellow filter. They have a blue color called "Aegean Blue", which should be a nice match to your car. But, there is 2 different sizes, so I would email HKS and ask them what size is recommended for the filter replacement or I would PM Bryan (XDEEDUBBX). Bryan, replaced his filter to match the red paint of our car, and he should be able to tell you what size you need..

Part No. Application Layers Type Element Size (mm) Color Price
70001-AK019 Limited Edition Color 2 Wet 150 Aegean Blue $20.00

70001-AK020 Limited Edition Color 2 Wet 200 Aegean Blue $25.00

it really just depends on what type of rims you like, chrome...black....w/e

chrome id say 19s so it can fill out the wheel well better but if you want to go with a dark color or black rims go 18s and just keep your tires shiney and it should look great! hope this helps

I don't think you wanna go to Jordan's type of parties.. A bunch of underage girls!

Marco, you should go with some nice looking rims instead of intake & exhaust. I wish, I would of gone that route in the first place, but oh well.. If you want aftermarket wheels, than go bigger than stock! So, get some 19's or 20's! But, you gotta look at it this way, wheels with a lip on them tend to look smaller, so for example if you get like 18's your rim size might look like 17's. I hope that makes sense..

I have Mario's stock cat in my garage, I don't know if it's okay to let you use it. You'd have to PM him at bran702 and ask.. Otherwise, Gilbert says it's okay if you use his..

Maybe, what can it do for me? Is it easy to install? I don't track my car so not really sure that I need this but it seemed like a good price.

This piece greatly improves the steering feel of any RX-8. The addition of this attractive polished bar results in a noticeable improvement in car turn-in. This piece is made of Aluminum. Installs in 10 minutes..

Suspension upgrades such as high performance springs, shocks and tires can add additional stress to the chassis resulting in additional chassis flex. GREX Strut Tower Braces improve chassis rigidity and reduce this flex. By using a monocoque aluminum triple tube shaft and stout, easy-to-install steel base plates, high strength and rigidity are obtained without unnecessary weight gain.

Improves steering feel? Impossible! Do I have cut holes in the trunk for the rear bar and will my engine cover fit over the front bar?
