Are you deciding to come join us in FDlsx?

 

Speaking of LSX FDs. I'll be dropping the car back on the ground this weekend. Waiting for my feed front bumper or to barrow an Oem one to set my fmic/radiator. Need to order a or two tial 50mm wastegates.

 

Man, you're getting close. This is exciting.

 

Far from close. Just taken this long to get where I'm at cause I only get 2-3 hours a night most nights I'm sitting on a box with a beer starring and plotting. Or wire wheeling bolt heads.

 

got it :D
i did ! how lame but i got a mid pipe :D i love ittt. :D

 

Finally finished my rear end and its in the car. Though I got a little excited and forgot to put the coilovers on before I jacked it up into the car. Oops! Easy to slap them in, but it got late.

 

Heres the fronts

 

I like this picture but I need to swap my water pump and get my ATI balancer installed. That will be this week.

 

Looking good what type of springs and struts did you go with?

 

They are cusco zero 2 coilovers.

 

If you can believe this.... I'm thinking about upgrading my suspension My left rear shock is getting wet

When that happens and want a hand swapping them let me know. Just need some rpf1 and sway bars next :p

 

Ok thanks. I need to figure out which ones to get and why. I have no clue about what makes a good suspension. I've been reading a lot lately and everyone seems to think that their's is the best and all others are crap. Or the only reason they get a new suspension is because of how low it can go so it will look cool so that doesn't help me out at all

I have three in mind right now Koni, Tein, and Bilstein, but that's probably more name recognition/advertising than actually if they are a good product.

 

Brad, the LSX FD is looking great. I went up to the car show in Monroe over the weekend and saw a lot of V8 swaps. I've been researching a little bit on the LSX swaps. I'm gonna have to pick your brain next time I see you ;-)

TankerG, I recommend asking that one fellow from Canada we met at the Dicks meet. He seemed to know quite a bit on suspension setups for the Rx8.

 

What are you going to do? And what is your budget?

 

Just forget the idea of an LSX rx8. Unless your pockets run deep. FC and FD; few kits out there to make life easy.

 

All I can hear is; "Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

 

It is my dd and I track about 5 times a year. Since I am replacing the suspension I might as well upgrade with the track in mind. The ones i've been looking at are around 1500 like the Bilstein PSS9s. I just don't know how to read spring rate numbers and what they mean and what to look for in comparison.

 

just tinkering with the idea. I either build a FD or buy a Porsche 911 turbo in the future. My wife prefers the 911 over the FD but we have to buy a SUV next year first. Stuck between the Range Rover or Mercedes GL....

Tanker, a buddy of mine used to be in a racing team so if you can narrow your search between a few I can ask him for his opinion on them.

 

Brad, new setup looks great!

 

I think Dan was directing that question towards Scott and his suspension needs :P

FD chassis and about 10k will get you a nice 400whp FD. Providing you do most of the work yourself.
