Not photographed but addition details include:
*Removed the airbag and top how-tos from the visors with goof-off.
*Fabbed up my budget splash flaps for the front wheels, .50cents each. Flaps are only used until streets are swept.
*Drilled out the factory shift knob to lower it 1/2".

Hoping for RX8 sways, Eibach springs and a performance alignment this summer.
 
Last few nights I fabricted a box to cover one of the computers in the engine bay made obvious by the new intake:

I read that as having 151k on the odo and was like "How the hell is that car so scary clean with that many miles?"

I'm retarded.
 
Thank you! Looking forward to bringing it out in the Spring and actually getting some seat time.
 
very nice! looks like the method in which I had to install my cai's..Good luck on the bridgestones re50s, mine wore out in one summer, yikes!!

I just re-read, you drilled out your shifter to shorten it? Wouldn't a short shifter kit remedy this or no?
 
Well the shift is very smooth, precise and short, but there is about a 1/4" of room in the shift knob so I figured I would take advantage of the free mod.
