Well I thought I would start a build thread since my motor has been replaced.

2005 RX8
Suede interior
Nav
RS Exhaust (eBay find until I can afford a Borla)
BHR Midpipe
BHR Ignition Upgrade
Konig Deception 18x8 +40
Red Led interior lights (doors, dome and map light)
K&N Typhoon Intake
Suede shift boot with red stitching
NRG CF shift ****
REW Oil Pressure Kit by MazMart
Smoke Tail lights

Planned Mods:
1.5" static drop (have the springs just need to install them) (Soon hopefully)
F1 Racing Style tail light in the rear bumper (Soon hopefully)
RB gauge pod w/ Autometer gauges
And many more.



Since I am veteran, I wear this decal with pride.

I thoroughly enjoy a awesome build. I plan on keeping it simple since the car is already sexy as hell.

I am going to be adding some after market gauges. I am going to use the RB gauge pod. I am going to be running a oil pressure, water temperature and AF ratio gauge. Is there anything extra I need to get? I am going to be running full sweep electric gauges.

Get the lotek pod instead the RB pod IMO is not that good. Both quality and functionally.

EDIT:

I cannot go that route due to my GPS screen.

Even better do the tablet to OBD gauge conversion.

Now I am debating between GOODbox and going analog gauges. Really do not want to go with the tablet option.

Anyone have an opinion on GOODbox?

IMO prosport EVO gauges are one of the best to get, I'm swapping my glowshift out for them this winter. Never again will I get analog with stepper motors. So much noise.

I was thinking full sweep electric by Autometer. I had a set in my Ranger and loved them.

EDIT:
I like those. Digital and descently priced.

What offset are you running? I am really thinking about getting the gold or bronze.

Mr_Pieper

18x9.75 +20 with 245/40 all around.

hoosier1104

iTrader: (2)

Do you have any rubbing on the front tires? I already have that size tires and they are basically new.

Mr_Pieper

Rolled my fenders beforehand and not having any problems.

hoosier1104

iTrader: (2)

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

EDIT: Are you still on your stock suspension?

Mr_Pieper

Lowered on springs. You will need at least that much or more aggressive fitting wheels look really weird.

I think I am going with 18x9 +30.
