I've been working on getting some things fitted on and everything bolted together and i've finally gotten all of it done. I'll have to grab some underhood photos tomorrow and i'll up date.

Mods so far are:
JIC 4-point strut bar
JIC FLT-TAR coilovers
Hotchkis front and rear sway bars
adjustable endlinks

and several carbon fiber things which are:
intake
hood
trunk
mazdaspeed spoiler
mirror covers
center console trim
and inner door handle bezels

here's a few quick pics i snapped today before i had to get back to the house to get ready to go meet up with some friends:






hope all of you enjoy!

 

Looks great! I love the R3 bumper. How much did you drop it with the coilovers?

 

Nice to see a modded R3 finally,,,

 

Very Sexy 8, Nicely Done

 

No kidding. Just about all the modded R3's are over seas...

 

wow that looks great

 

Zomg!!!!!!

 

first modded R3 Ive seen...looks good

 

Looks fantastic, I'm starting to warm up to the R3... maybe some wheel spacers to flush it up, unless you're planning some aftermarket wheels.

 

sick r3

 

Finally an R3 with a drop! good stuff man

 

damnnnnn R3 with modssssss!!!! nice oneeee!!!

 

yes very sweet i cant wait to see one in person at SS

 

I don't know the exact drop but theres not enough gap for me to put one finger between the tire a nd fender

 

damn....phone owned me with the double post!!!

 

man your car looks amazing good job

 

thanks for all the kind words guys. It's a little discouraging finding nothing for the 09+ rx-8's "specifically" so i started improvising a bit. Everything fit perfect on the car except the JIC 4-pt strut bar, and all that had to be done was the two bolt holes that mount at the back of the engine bay had to be opened up a bit to fit onto the stock studs that the stock 4-pt mounts to.

rodjonathon: i'd like to make a meet down in houston but i have no idea when my schedule is going to allow me to do that. i'd really like to make it out to houston and dallas because i know a lot of guys really want to see some modded 09+ 8's but with them having been out such a short time they're few and far between in texas

 

 

Car looks great! Can't wait to see what you do next.

 

Nice. Looking good.

 

that's a very nice R3 indeed, you took the path of the right modifications.

 

Thats sick! love the color
