Im going to be getting the autobahn kit from Shine auto project, should be picking it up today. Front Bumper and side skirts. And getting the Evo-R rear lip.

Once those come in and go to paint she will be ready to show.


Then the next step is small performance upgrades, Intake, spark plugs... lil plug and play stuff.

Go here and you'll see the exhaust I'm talking about. No one in the USA has them right now, I'm going to be the first just like the RS*R springs!

Here's the link to the RS*R Springs:

EDIT: Here's a picture of them before I installed them.
Those are some sweet looking springs dude! Why don't they sell them in the US market? Also, what's the drop height on them?

PIT CREW in san gabriel

ok, so have anyone ever heard of this place thats located in san gabriel next to weinerschnitzel? i know they have been around for a while. and i know since back then that they are mostly into honda stuff.

their customer service SUCK! i just decided to be friendly seeing that i drove by after seeing 2 RX8's outside. i guess one of them has one. the customer that was inside who owned an 8 was cool... i think his name was ben.

so anyway. i've always known they over-charge. but he's pretty "what-evers" when i mentioned about the 8club.com and didn't really considered about group discounts.

however, their custom sticker section is great and the customer service is cool too.
pretty much the only reason i see of now to patronize from that store... sad, huh?

There's a bunch of stuff for the 8 that's still not in the US market yet.

The drop height for the springs are...
Front Drop - 30mm(1.2in)
Rear Drop - 20mm(0.8in)
