New Redline Owner

Mrbeanca · 08-28-2008, 02:51 PM

I picked up my 2008 Sky Redline last week and I have to say it is one fun car. It could use a little more hp but this is also coming from a guy who also owns a CBR 1000RR. For anyone who tells you can't even fit a set of golf clubs in the trunk I have pictures that prove you can even with the top down. I am looking to have one of the tuner mods done this winter, do you have any recomendations? I am living in Canada and in the nice months this is my everyday car so I like to keep the mileage similar to what i get now unless i am playing around.

Welcome to the forum!

Congrats on the ride! More and more tune options continue to open up. Discussions on a bunch of them are floating 'round the forum.

Shy of swapping in a corvette engine, I don't think you will be able to equal the speed of the Honda.

But, a sky doing a 10 second quarter mile sure would kick butt.
Let us know if you get that bug

WELCOME ABOARD!!!

Thanks Bogie, I read a number of threads talking about the TSB on the brakes. The car needs to get the TPMS calibrated as it wasn't done properly so it doesn't currently work and I plan to have them go through the outstanding Recalls/TSB as a part of that service.

Welcome and feel at home.

I am sure you will upgrade your intercooler and exhaust as part of your tune package. But forget doing a wheely in a Kappa car ...
