No the 8 is N/A and I won't be doing any more mods to it since it is currently for sale
the V-mount is being done on my turbo FB that Brian is finishing up for me. The plan is for it to go to DGRR this year instead of my trusty single turbo FD (shes getting tired and will be rebuilt after I build a garage big enough to house everything) The Fb will prob have more power than the FD and better street manners also. |

Bad turbos? Let me guess, Greddy kits? Have the owners done the "fixes" to keep the turbo from cooking itself? |
Wheels painted - Check!
Exhaust Modified - Check! Ready to worship at the Church of Wankel - Check! Bring it DGRR 2012 :) http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...pringview3.jpg |

Just need to do an oil change before we leave, make some custom CD's, get walkie-talkie radios and GAS UP! http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...GettingGas.jpg |

4) Installed front splash/mud guards 5) Installed RE-Amemiya Super Dolphin Tip catback Only this left is to get my tires flipped to my 2010 RX-8 wheels and an alignment. Both of which should happen this weekend :) This pic was mid tear down. I'll post a completed photo once the wheels are on. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P...321_092555.jpg |
Alright, shitty cell phone pic with the new wheels on. It is pretty much done with the exception of a good cleaning, and a re-seal of the right rear taillight.
