You buy the pads/rotors I'll change it for a dicks burger. Easy as pie.

Finally put my lsx coils on the 8. Been so busy with work and the FD but the weather cleared up long enough. All I had to buy was a Mazda to GM harness and everything else I had or made. Fixed my high rpm misfires which is nice.

No. That takes funds away from the FD. This is back burner clunker now.

No way it will be running by summer. Trying to get the most done before it leaves for the cage. I don't get much time a day to work on it so very slow and always saving/waiting on parts.

Here's a clip of my Mazda. I might be buying that NSX. It's a 91 with an 02 front bumper. It's a trip to drive it around

A teaser. Wasn't the full effect but wheels had to wait a bit.

Custom cut caliper brackets specifically for the FD and these calipers.




Wilwood 14.25" 6 pot and 13" 4 pot aerolite calipers.

Going to mount the rears tomorrow or sat afternoon. Should have the power to stop my monster.

They are bigger than my head...the rears are 4 pots but still very big. Still waiting on hardware to show up; prob be here Tuesday. Car goes back on jack stands till wheels show up. Slowly coming together. Rewiring the whole car is a nightmare I'm not having fun with currently.

I'm from the Puyallup area and finally just got a job where I can actually sort of afford to do some **** to my RX 8, granted its a paddle shift automatic no a manual, but whatever, I don't care, Anyone know of any places that upgrade rotary engines, I.E. Porting/Tuning and such, and somewhere I could get my torque converter worked on/upgraded and a shift kit installed? If you know a shop in that area, Puyallup, Tacoma ETC, PM me, It would be much appreciated. The car's fun but I want it to be more fun.

Well after a couple various routes and making things look "clean" finally decided to bore holes into my bumper and dump the gates to atmosphere that way. Yep. Pictures are distant future. Just take my word for it.

Looking into fully soda blasting the car too and fresh primer. Not sure if any where locally can do it and primer same location.
