RX8inSTL's RX-8 Round 2
Here's a log of my build thread for my second '04 TiGrey RX-8 I bought my first 8 nearly 6 years ago now and sold it almost a year ago, I had planned to buy an FD. I started looking in the FS threads and found my new car, the only factory differences were the all black interior and 6 disc CD changer. This one also came with a Pettit racing Supercharger and a Mazdaspeed front bumper.
Heres a picture of my old 8. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7370/...a25f983c_c.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7364/...654caa0f_c.jpg And onto the new one, when I first got it other than the blower, MS bumper and Exhaust is was stock. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7175/...034d4402_c.jpg One of the first things that I did was lower it on a set of Bilstein Coilovers. Here she is nice and lowered at DGRR. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5464/...4d01ae98_c.jpg After that I was able to finish the MS kit and get a new set of wheels on the car. The wheels are Enkei Kojin 18x9.5 +30 with 255/35 Dunlop ZIIs. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3880/...6b317328_c.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5588/...727069e1_c.jpg Heres a random pic during the battery relocation/coolant tank move. Everything is much easier to work on now. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3872/...8b7274f9_c.jpg and a blurry battery relocation pic. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2948/...88aa6284_c.jpg Here's my most recent pic from a cruise today actually. The car felt really good today. Ive got a whole lot I still want to do with the car, right now its really just getting started. Im slow with my car modding though so hopefully you can stick with me. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3953/...af4277cb_c.jpg Also stopped by a carshow after, snagged a spot between this CTSv and Vette. I live in the midwest. Its an LS fest here everywhere. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3953/...eede0d6a_c.jpg |
Beautiful 8! I really like that second pic and the one of the engine bay.
I'm from Cape Girardeau, if I ever get the FD running again and bring it home I'll hit you up to go for a cruise lol. |
Looks great man, keep up the good work!
