I think it is on the fuel pump too. But I was wanting to be wrong.

I change stuff on my car probably too much.I'm always fearful about shit. I'm doing BHR coils this time so I won't need to change again. I was a dumb ass and got the blue anodized ones to match my car not thinking you can't see the fucking things on the car.

[r0tor]

I'm not sure about the BHR coils.  On my old engine, before they would change out the engine they made me replace the coils because if a large number of reported misfires - I had the BHR kit on at the time.  I bought new OEM coils and slapped them in and the misfires went down significantly... But still had misfires due to the engine having poor compression.

I have not put the BHR kit on the new engine yet, but I know the dwell time on those coils is designed to be different then the OEM and I'm wondering if there really is any benefit without changing the dwell times in the ECU.

[Onslaught]

I've had them a long time. And I never put them in because I'm not 100% sure they're better then what Mazda uses.

The local RX-8 club guys sold me on them. But then they started blowing engines left and right and my car was fine. So I kind  of started thinking perhaps these guys aren't the ones to listen too.

Interestingly enough, all 5 of these tires are the same size according to the sidewall markings... "But one of them ain't like the others" and has about 1" wider tread width

[68_427]

What were your old tires?  My S-04s have a wide tread width as well.

[r0tor]

Conti DW.... So glad they are gone, I can actually hear my exhaust over the tire roar now

why is the rear so much lower than the front?

Are you keeping dead bodies back there?

I dropped it so the side skirts are level to the ground.  The wheel wells have a slight rear rake.

[68_427]

Just like BMW.  Larger front wheel well to minimize clearance issues under hard cornering.

Car looks good, photos are good too. Damn I want a new camera so bad, in time tho in time.

I thought you already had a NEX?

I used my a6000 with my new 50mm F1.8 lens and a polarizer...and a very little bit of post processing with polar (free google chrome app).  I never had a lens with such narrow focusing so its taking a bit of time to get use too.
