Tein RX-8 in Sport Compact Car
A few pages on Tein's car, with the coilovers and EDFC, performance brake pads, Fujitsobo exhaust, and 18x8.5 Enkei wheels.

I was kinda disappointed with the article because they didn't talk much about the RX-8, they kinda just went on and on about the Tein parts and Tein without saying much about the other parts on the car (although it's a given to talk about what modifications have been done) or even the car itself. Hopefully they'll do another article on a tuned RX-8 again and do a much better job talkin about the car, how it drives, etc.

Because I did my homework, I got exactly what I wanted. I hope you find yours.

I've read that article twice. I am impressed by Tein's approach to the RX-8. I love suspension tweaking, and it's refreshing to see SCC put something out besides JDM Skyline this and high-power that (I think they're following Super Street too closely). I would love to sample Tein's parts on my 8 .

Not to hijack the thread, but Mazda learned its lesson on the RX7. It was the "pure" sports car the public claimed they wanted Mazda to build. And it turned out to be literally too high-performance for its own good. I've got one and it's fun. But my wife refuses to ride in it.
Practicality isn't the reason I bought my 8. But it was sure part of the equation.

PS > I bought the RX-8 for practicality. It replaced a 4-door, 5-seat car that was my daily driver.
