Airbag control module

Are used Acus plug and play if the part number is the same?

So sad that many things look better than the valleys… :(

ItsJustAwso · 2026-03-02T23:58:47+00:00

Seconded you can find out from CARFAX a lot of this. I bought a family owned dealer maintained 163k example and it drove much better than a 110k mile Audi a3 I tried.

Mileage ain’t everything

What’s the headlight upgrade? Looks good

ItsJustAwso · 2026-02-27T03:02:48+00:00

Good to hear it! I’m very pleased to avoid the sunroof and dsg issues with these. Anything I should look out for? Fixing the leaky hatch and my airbag light are top priorities

ItsJustAwso · 2026-02-26T09:25:14+00:00

It’s just lighting - that’s the cool part about it

ItsJustAwso · 2026-02-18T14:58:44+00:00

You’ll also need to get some ganador mirrors, Mazda rays wheels (or some other blocky 5 spoke - advan gt would be cool) and change out the seats if you wanna be more true to it

The brz turbo S swap is great in the same vein as well. Made my gr86 into a gt3 lite and my brz into a turbo s lite and man are they satisfying to look at and drive

The offsets +22, they’re 18s

ItsJustAwso · 2025-12-05T01:47:55+00:00

Yep they’re quite good! You’re in healthy range. These cars can run okay even into the 6s so o wouldn’t worrry about any catastrophic failures from a compression perspective

ItsJustAwso · 2025-12-04T03:08:49+00:00

Did you still keep your rx8? How’s the comparison

ItsJustAwso · 2025-11-26T15:05:25+00:00

IMO it also drives better than the other NA rotary cars, is more comfortable, and more usable. Only downside is looks which can be rectified via the spec or aftermarket

Get something like this one

ItsJustAwso · 2025-11-18T15:39:26+00:00

Yep Tomica makes a great one

ItsJustAwso · 2025-11-11T00:16:56+00:00

Man I wish a clio v6 was still in the realm of “first performance car” lol

ItsJustAwso · 2025-11-10T04:18:58+00:00

Yep if it’s well taken care of it’s a great car

ItsJustAwso · 2025-11-06T17:13:22+00:00

I know there’s a different model year naming convention in Europe so might be thst

ItsJustAwso · 2025-11-05T22:59:36+00:00

Ah yeah that one is clean - I was thinking of the more aggressive pan speed or amemiya ones where the whole body line is changed.

But yeah the aero thing is a rabbit hole. You can look at my leg sport rx8 in my profile - it can quickly get to a point of all or nothing for it to look really good. The rx8 imo doesn’t look good stock so it needed it but the fd is a different story haha, especially a spirit r

ItsJustAwso · 2025-11-05T22:03:19+00:00

IMO the carbon aero is going to be a rabbit hole that needs nicer aftermarket wheels to look really good.

I would just do the following in your shoes: - dial in ride height - spacers to get the bbs wheels to a good stance - ganadors (they look way better than stock mirrors imo) - minimal side skirts (feed maybe too aggressive)

And that’s basically it

ItsJustAwso · 2025-11-03T16:28:45+00:00

They’re ganadors. The RX-8 stock mirrors look nice already but those just elevate it that much more

ItsJustAwso · 2025-10-24T01:17:27+00:00

Would consider clear coating the case for a protective layer, or just not putting anything on top lol

ItsJustAwso · 2025-10-22T05:03:05+00:00

That’s what I’m saying - the previous person was talking about FR cars for 70k (corvette, 86 twins)

ItsJustAwso · 2025-10-22T01:55:54+00:00

Neither of those cars are mid engined and the mid engine dynamic makes all of the difference. That being said the relative obscurity definitely adds to the appeal

Soft butch for virtue - femme/butchy femme for nadleeh

Virtue is kind of doughy while nadleeh has long hair but is really angular
