Default Renesis' Update Thread

Yup yup place for all my stuff lol. This is so i don't mess up the board with my nonsense. I'm gonna start with the most recent mod to old ones.

L.E.D.'s Interior



previously only my dome light was an L.E.D. the rest were just blue 194 bulbs. After I pulled them out like 2 of the 4 were burned.
I now have a FULL L.E.D Interior. I took the best pics I could get. Also included one of my instrument panel. I can set it to show white with red lettering or blue with red lettering and I always leave it on blue!

the last time I polished my rims was back in october of 07 for the car show. I wanted to show everyone what they look like before and after being polished.
Before Polishing
as stated this is what they looked like before i polished them



With Polish on it
Just to show you that i really was polishing them

After polish
I washed my car in the shade so you could see the difference



In The Sun


Here's an update, on saturday we painted all 4 calipers blue, i painted my w/w fluid holder black and installed the sub/box/amp set

no, no,
i mean the insulation on the strut towers/firewall.
im sure its just sound deadening tho.

and for some reason, i like to keep my engine bay as clean as the rest of the car.
the next warm day we have (which wont be till at least march...), im cleaning every inch of my car.

I love the Rx-8s, they just need a more reasonable boost option. $5000 for an ECU reflash by HKS as well as $6,000 worth of turbo equiptment is rediculous. The 430 whp resulting isnt [/align]

I wonder what the tq numbers would be...probably no more than 280-290, IMO.
