It's bad enough your wife had to jack the Sport version of my car now she has the wheels I just picked up for it on as well. Damnit!

Don't worry, she can't stand the 8 rims, so I guess I will have to swap them again at some point. You'll be the only one around once I am done.

The following is an effort to get this thread back on track, if that is even possible:

Winter is officially on us, so it is time for me to get busy with the rest of my plans. I would like to do a few mods to get my 8 in better shape to handle a few track days this spring and summer. I am done with engine management (Cobb AP) and brakes. I am most of the way done with the exhaust. I don't plan any more cosmetic changes for now. That basically leaves me with the suspension and an extensive tune up. Here are my plans as they stand.

Suspension:
Springs (Progressive tech) with Koni yellows
Lightweight 17X9 or 18X9 Rims with some aggressive rubber (waiting)
FSB (progress tech)
F/R swabar endlinks

Exhaust:
Add Davesport 100cpi highflow
swap tips (no more 4.5in stupidity) looking for something like this

Tune up:
Coils (OEM)
Wires (Ultra)
Plugs (OEM)

Misc:
Axial Flow Engineering Master cylinder brace
Axial Flow Engineering STS
RB Gaugepod w/OIL pres, Oil temp, and Water temp
Race Roots Clutch Pedal Brace
RB Rear Wing

I guess I should have mentioned this. Its and either or situation. Too expensive to do both.
 
considering the car.....I think the turns win. The other deal is just hard to turn down.
 
i agree on both points. lol

boosted rotaries are pretty much awesome though... I'd be all over one if I could pull it off. I still dream of a boosted FC.
