My first project on my RX-8
So im planning on fixing up this thing and giving her a little pep to her step. This will be my first time wrenching on a rotory car.
The plans: new plugs, wires, coils, starter, engine mount, and remove the cat.
Tomorrow im going to put some spark wires and plugs in (both are NGK). maybe delete the cat too.
Ill probably post up some pics of my projects along the way.
In the future i plan to paint the rims, lower it and maybe do a body kit. Im looking back and i guess this thread is kinda pointless for now i guess it will just be the start to my build thread. lol

Then i took off the mid pipe and cut the flanges off to reuse.
heres a pic of the start of the new mid pipe. sorry forgot to get pic of final finished product. will do next time its on lift
The cat was in pretty bad shape so im glad i got it off
On to the plugs and wires!
After all this was done i put it on the ground and the bitch wouldnt start lol. after a few taps on the starter its fine now... so now i have to go get a $200 starter lol. took it for a spin and has alot more power and sounds much better. still spit a little at high RPMs and misfired. so i guess its time for coil packs
