Tenzo GT-05 19x8.5 +40 (getting a custom 20 mm spacer made)
19x9.5 +30
fender rolled 5mm in rears
Genereal Tire Exclaim UHP 225/35ZR

Tein Basics (lowest setting)
OEM Clear Corners
LED 194 (white)
LED rear tailights
5% tint rear window
20% rear passenger windows
35% front windows
front rotary crest ( i was suppose to get the rear and 6 strake kit from DLS customs, but thats a write off now..really pissed about it)

i got my Tein basics ($850 incl. all addtional charges) from the states and just let the vendor know to mark down the "value of goods" for customs to 200$ USD.

got all 5 windows done at this place on Main and 17th for $120 cash deal (balck tint none of that purple crap)

LED lights from ebay for 100$

Rims from Car Modifier in Ottawa for $1350 ( incl. shipping and GST)

fenders rolled proffessionally with a roller from KEEP LABS for $200 (included adjusting and test fitting all 4 wheels to get the perfect look i was seeking)

Bought the tyres from Tirerack for $600 for all 4 i was looking for 225/40 but they did not have that.

tyre and wheel installation and balanced by National Tire in burnaby for $80 cash deal.

my short term goal is all show (little performance like intake exhaust).. so as to not destroy the warranty.

once i get out of college and start making the real money.. ill be ALLL GO (hint: turbo) with show!!

anyways just to let you know MF is having a crazzy boxing sale.. they are selling REPLICA Mazdaspeed kits made by MF themselves (fibreglass).. and apparently the fitting is suppose to be close to perfect not like the Ebay ones which have gaps near the corner lights..

they are currently selling them for $900 but i was told that the prices will significantly drop on the day and just for that day. As well he will be selling Greddy stuff for cheap, but no TEIN :(.

there is a blue RX8 that crashed into a pole while attempting to drift at the boundary bay area, now is kitted itself with the replica bodykit from MF (he should be there on Wednesday). Only person that i know of that has the Greddy turbo as well in the lower mainland..



Lordco sometimes has some cheap stuff especially if you get a quote from another place and have an account with them.. they can reduce prices drastically.. im not sure about MOPAC..

hey RX4LIFE - coudl you post some pics please? Would like to see the 19's on your '8. That is part of my plan for next summer, but it would be nice to see a few other 8's with 19'sas well. before anyone tells me to....(rotten) i have seen the multimedia gallery on the main site allready.....

my mods:

Work Emotion CR KAI 18x7.5 on stock tires (coming in WORK XSA02C) 18x8 and 18x9
Mazdaspeed Full kit with wing (waiting mazdaspeed mirror) if i can....

i would be interested in a few of the mods.. but price pending.. .... id love the coilovers..and intake and exuhaust..BUT i will wait for the price list ..

Sorry R888

Rp supercat bought from rx7.com around $400 i think plus gasket kit. Great mod I noticed a difference in power throughout the rev range, not too loud either

sup guys here are my mods to my RX8. prob have an extra 30-40 rear wheel hp and alot more street credit!!

-paint my calipers red (bling bling factor)
-clear corners (againg with the bling faction)
-2 leters of castrol 5w20 in trunk (tested .5 sec faster to 60 b/c of weight transfer)
-K&N typhoon intake( k&n claims 8hp "b/s" baught it for the sound!! but hey if there is 8 more hp i will take them)
-meguiar's coat of wax every other week( cuts throught air better and also another .5sec faster to 60)
-brilliant black( .5 sec faster to 60. black coats better and less paint on car therefor less weight)



most of the stuff is for fun the only real performance mod is the intake $300cnd and is the revised version. clear corners are $60 form ajax mazda, red calipers $15 from canadian tire.

don't wanna do to much since its leased, and will have to give it back

tlovr out :D

Lets see:
-INGS Front nose
-INGS Side Skirts
-MS Rear Underspoiler
-Borla Cat Back
-K&N Typhoon 2nd Gen
-6000k Xenons
-Aluminum Floor mats
-Shock Sensor
-Tien S-Techs
-RP Short Shifter
-New 17" winters, not really a mod, but hey :)

Next up, is GReddy turbo, maybe with some NEXUS Autometers and a nice gauge pod.

Trying to sell my replica MS wing to go towards my turbo fund.

Hopefully I can get enough for a new GReddy Type-RS BOV.

^^ hey , whats a shock sensor?

where did you pick up your intake from for $300?

just curious, why would you downgrade the width of your wheels? stock is 18x8, no?

the exact price is $300 plus tax (cash $350 all in still a good deal), friend of mine is a k&n dealer, i will see him tomorrow and pick it up, if interested let me know and i'll see what i can do for any1 who's interested.

. pm me

$400 cash tax in for anyone else ($50 bucks more still a good deal he has to make a living too!)

tlovr out

Shock sensor is the factory mazda upgrade that allows for your alarm to go off when the car is bumped

^^ sweet..how much is it.. i like that idea since i got rims on now... hopefully its not like the cheap aftermarket shock sensors that go off when fart canons or buses drive by.

cuz i am just stock tires... and my work wheels are kinda... free so yeah :P don't wnat to buy new tires. so i just use the stock one :P

Stock....bone stock :rock:

hahaha, yeess Hybrid, "Bone" stock ;)

and the sensor was 50 bucks
