Jazzmeson's Simple Shinka Build

Hey all, I just felt like sharing my car and how much it has progressed in the last couple of years of ownership. I'm a bit on the conservative side when it comes to modding the interior and exterior since I want to keep a lot of the elements that makes it a Shinka. I went for a look that balances show and functionality since I take the car to the track and autocross several times a year for fun. It's somewhat of a slow progress, but it's getting closer to where I want it to be.

Mods List:
  • Shine Auto Project Type II Front Lip, Side Skirts, and Rear Add-Ons
  • KD-IV Burnout Type II Eyelids
  • Lebren Blood Red Rotary Accent Light
  • Rotary13B1 Aluminum Accents
  • JIC Magic 4-Point Brace
  • Agency Power Pulley
  • Weapon-R Oil Catch Can
  • Mazsport Style Custom Canister Trio
  • Axial Flow Engineering Short-Shifter
  • Mazdaspeed Oil Cap
  • FEED Stainless Steel Clutch Line
  • Racing Beat Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel
  • R-Magic Heavyweight Super Shift ****
  • OEM Series II 4.77 Differential
  • OEM Clear Side Marker Lights
  • Black Halo Racing Mid-Pipe
  • Black Halo Racing Ignition System
  • Black Halo Racing Intake Undertray
  • TurboXS Header
  • AEM Cold Air Intake
  • RotaryFX Clutch Pedal Reinforcement Bracket
  • Progress Technology Front and Rear Sway Bars
  • Progress Technology Lowering Springs
  • Koni Yellow Sport Shocks
  • HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust
  • Rotary Aviation OMP Adapter
  • Enkei NT03+M (SBC) 18x9.5 +27
  • Hankook Ventus V12 Evo (K110) 255/40/18
  • Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump
  • Stop Tech Street Performance Brake Pads
  • Exedy OEM Replacement Clutch Kit
  • Lo-Tek Gauge Pod
  • Auto Meter Sport-Comp Oil Temperature, Oil Pressure, and Water Temperature Gauges
  • Racing Beat Oil Temperature/Pressure & Water Temperature Sensor Adapters
  • Brettspeed Tuning/Cobb Accessport
Upcoming Mods:
  • StopTech Slotted Brake Rotors
  • Polished Radiator Diversion Panel

Does my Rotary Lounge pillow count as a mod? It's great for sleeping in between track sessions. I'm very happy with the progress of my car so far and will continue to add some stuff slowly, but surely. Several people I really want to thank for helping me out and giving me advice since I got the car are gregs, \\Konig\\, Lebren, Atilla, k__9virus, kdoiron08, and a lot of research and information on RX8Club.

Thank you guys, I appreciate it. I love my NT03s, took almost two months to get them, but it was worth the wait.

Your welcome for the photos =]

I agree with 9krpm, I love seeing tastefully modded 8's with a good flowing theme.

Thanks! I've been on and off about tinting, mainly because I like how the Shinka interior is easily visible. At the same time, I do want to do dark tint since it goes well with the color. Argh! Decisions, decisions.

Hi do you still have the car? I'm also in LA and would like to view a BCM in good condition up close in person. Can you help a fellow rotorhead out?
