About the tranny: No, I did not use a 6speed Rx8 tranny.... I wish!...... good Idea though..... I will check into it..... see if it fits a 12A.

If you have any specific questions.... send me a PM

The headlights look awesome... Do they raise and lower, or are they always up?

The headlights are kinda-custom. They were made for miatas, but with minor modification they can fit 1gens.

The headlights can be set to raise and lower... however because of the turbo piping I was left with the only choice to leave them in the up position.

You can't get any detailed than that, but not to many people have the patience or time to take alot of pics, prep the pics, uplaod the pics and type out the instruction...I have to say great work there.

To know if this kit fits, measure the headlight dimensions on a second gen... they have to be the same as the 1gen.

No modification is required if you leave your headlights in the "up" position.... but if you want them to go up and down, fabricate the motor linkage.

Sweet car!

Hey, can I ask one question: in the After picture, you have a new rear spoiler. It looks like the old dealer add-on aftermarket style. Can you tell me how it attaches? I may have to take one off a car in the near future, and any insight on how thedse are hooked up will be helpful so I don't scratch the **** out of the car. Thanks!
