Hey everyone, this is my 2006 rx8 as it sits now, many more mods to come. It has taken awhile to get to where it is right now, do to the fact im 19 and i have only had a typical highschool job to fund this haha, but here it is.

Let me know what you think, comments are welcome, just dont be an *** cause ive done all the work on it and spent alot of time getting it to where it is, enjoy.

 

whats under the hood?

 

here you go

 

lol dang tweek i was trying to get the other 5 pics posted before someone commented hahaha, i just wasnt fast enough lol

 

Im probably blind, but is there anything major except the intake and strut bar, possible nos?
Where do you race it, i mean i hope you do seeing as though you have the harnesses and a roll cage O.o

Lol, beat you to it.

 

There's definitely some suspicious piping going on under the hood and a BOV (TurboXS RFL?). Plus that radiator looks extra shiny

 

Love the interior man.

Suspensionwhat i am working on now lol hence only one item under this category haha)

looks like it would be a good setup for a road course car! looks nice.

 

Looks great man. I would throw on some clear corners, just my opinion.

 

ya i have been meaning to get some the oem orange ones are so ugly haha

 

Very nice car, Much props!

 

how many whp and how munch psi

 

Its the stock greddy kit so its not that powerful, but when i got tuned it put down 260.9 whp and 203.4 wtq at 5.5 psi on the dyno...however i am getting a boost controller, accessport, bhr ignition upgrade, and the bnr greddy turbo upgrade next so once i install that and get retuned im hoping for well over 300 wheel

 

It def looks like you are headed in the right direction. Throw some coilovers on there too. Otherwise it looks nice so far.

You're not alone, lol I just turned 20 last week and spent nearly all my money from last summer till now on my car. My neighbors get scared everytime I start my car lol...

 

lookin good not bad at all for someone who is still 19 great lookin car bro

 

No brake upgrade? More HP needs more brake power. Stock brakes work great with a good set of pads, SS lines and fresh clean fluid. A BBK isnt needed unless you are running race tires and pushing the car hard on the track, even then you dont always need it.

For the suspension, I suggest starting with a good set of sway bars, I love the progress tech adjustable bars, great product and superb value. They will drasticly improve handeling with very little negitive effect on ride quality.

Dont cheap out with the springs/struts, it will just cost more in the long run. If you plan on tracking the car, coilovers are the way to go. IMHO you want something that is rebuildable with seperate compression and rebound adjustments and of course corner balance the car.

 

Looking good, and definitely heading in the right direction. Props!

 

very nice dude looking good. If I didnt have so many loans, id have my turbo already

 

im 19 but my **** is bone stock! if only i didnt have mortgage payments + car payments! lol.

 

nice corbeaus. keep up the good work, looks like your big pimpin in highschool

 

Ya im working on getting sways and suspension now, and for brakes i was just gonna do some slotted/drilled rotors with SS brake lines and hawk pads... really appreciate your input and info on suspension/brakes.... and im defenitly going to check out those progress tech sways haha

thanks, i turbod my 8 the end of junior year, then got my seats/harnesses senior year, and everytime i was driving through the parking lot at school to park, it was nice turning everyones head with the turboxs rfl bov to haha... luckily im not in highschool anymore and now i am a sophmore in college, and next summer will hopefully have an internship to fund my build instead of a part time job hahahaha


On a suspension note does anyone have any input on coilovers they have now that they just love, cause like i said suspension and brakes is what i am trying to work on now

Thanks everyone

 

search around the club about stance coilovers.

 

Looks good man, get the BHR undertray for the intake, that would clean the engine bay up a ton.
