Default 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.



And onto the new one, when I first got it other than the blower, MS bumper and Exhaust is was stock.



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.





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.





Heres a random pic during the battery relocation/coolant tank move. Everything is much easier to work on now.



and a blurry battery relocation pic.



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.



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.

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.
