Oh, forgot I did this mod! I upgraded to lower temperature thermostats in the oil coolers. Stock oil temperature at the coolers is 220-240F when they open which is absurdly high for oil temperatures on the street/autocross/even track use so I installed these lower temperature thermostats that are 165-175F. Much safer oil temperatures!



I also finally have a working airbag light. I had the light on in the cluster because this indicator didn't work properly. Ridiculous to have the airbag light on because of this mostly pointless indicator, but whatever. Laws are laws.

Shaftworks USA dampers. Never had shocks with my name on them before



Raceseng Circuit Sphere knob thanks to Black Friday sale! I have one on my ND and it just feels nicer in the hand and looks cool on that car but on my RX-8 it shifts a LOT nicer too. Huge benefit that I wasn't really expecting.

Are your balls still busted, Ken?

[DocWalt]

I got the new coilovers on this afternoon/evening and it rides better than the stock Bilsteins/Tein lowering springs (considering it was likely riding on bumpstops this is no surprise) while still being stiff and responsive while hooning it a little. Looking forward to actually getting to use them, though it seems like that will be in the spring.

Ignore the crusty rear suspension, haha. The only rust on the car is the rear control arms/subframe. I've been replacing arms here and there. Everything has come apart ok (except for the alignment eccentrics front & rear)









Balls are very much not busted, Kevin

[j2k4]

Did you buy this car from a pig, Doc?

Glad your balls are intact.
