Okay. I appreciate that info. Did the Super Now tie rod ends have any effect on steering angle?

Not much has been done i recently installed a midpipe and had my exhaust modified to hang a lil higher and I removed my air pump. Right now im trying to figure out why my tails keeping going out/blowing up the 10a tail fuse

So I'm back with some updates & motivation. I still need an alignment to tone down my rear negative camber & correct toe in. Battery was relocated to rear trunk, plans to tuck some harnesses soon. lately I've been hoarder tires & parts.
So about a month ago i picked up a known running motor from a local dude that totaled his rx8 which I plan to build with the help of some friends or just send it to a shop to have cleaned up, ported & upgraded apex seals in the near future. Right now im waiting on a shine auto type f front bumper, buddy club driver seat & rail, and a Super now pulley to come in the mail.

Hey I have a few question , hope you dont mind. lol
1 Where did you pickup thoes side mirrors? Ive been trying to get some lol
2 What coilover are you running? I ask that cause I gotten some TEIN Basic coilovers and Ive thrown my car around on some roads and parking lots but its seems your car tends to really dip in those corners.
3 Other then your CAI, any other engine mods ?
I ask all this cause im trying to set up my rx8 for drifting too. Im coming from drifting a old 86 mustang , and a 86 sr5

Any updates on the motor build? You're going FI or staying NA. I'm looking into rebuilding mine soon as well, mainly around reliability and the occasional lead foot syndrome I have.
But not assembling the motor myself tho lol. I'm gonna have it done by a shop, but looking into light porting and an upgrading seals as well. What apex seals are you gonna run, and whos doing the porting?
