Greetings from Florida
 

Hello Gang,

I am the proud new owner of an '05 Red 6 spd RX8. Sadly though, I inherited it from my brother. (He was a member here as "VALPAC" ) I am starting to go through it so I can find out what mods he did. So far I found a ton of Mazda Speed things already.

Here's what I can tell was done. Just not sure about who made it:

Mazmart's Reman engine w/new rotor housings and rotor

REmedy R9 HiFlow water pump

Cold Air intake

Aftermarket nose that has a different splitter and no Mazda badge. Is the radiator I'm seeing in the left grill where a fog lamp would be aftermarket?

Mazda Speed side skirts

Front tower brace (carbon fiber) and rear chassis braces

Racing Beat front and rear swaybars

Tein coilover shocks

...and I'm still finding more.

He used to talk about track days a lot. Not sure if I'll keep it and track it or sell it. Need to find out the value. It's a blast to drive for sure. If I didn't just get a '15 Corvette Z51, I'd keep her.

I'll post pics soon.

Later

Welcome

Sorry

Car sounds rather well set up. I can say you likely enjoy the track a little more with the 8 than the Vette if you are just starting out. The Vette is an awesome car, however it needs a level of awesome in the driver that is a bit tough to attain starting out.

Pics will help us identify some of the parts when you get them.

Where in Florida?

Welcome!!!!

I'm in the Jacksonville area.

Great idea to track the 8 before trying the C7. Especially since my Z51 is about 10x the value.

Hey man, Welcome to the club. Just start posting some pictures I'm sure we will be able to help you out.
