epitrochoid

cant wait to see it with the Hiros!

philodox

Yup, my winter wheels & tires. Milli Miglia EV-R 18x8 and 18x9 with Pirreli Winter Sport 240 tires 225/45-18 & 255/40-18

For the summer I have Axis Hiro's 19x8.5 and 19x9.5


Thanks Mike. Nothing else for the exterior. The only thing I have left is to find a center dash gauge pod for my gauges and then I'm done with the the look of the car. Then it's just performance upgrades.

TxRx8

Dang, what the hell do you do for a living dude! Turbo, rims, kit... I mean ****, I want that job!
Your the man. It's over. :D

Awesome

LiL BenNy

hmm looks terrible ill do you a favor and take if for you........ =P

philodox

Trust me you don't want the job. I was in Iraq for 15 months as a civilian contractor.. that's how I can afford the splurge on my car.

Red Devil

Looks great, and I'll think I'll pass on the whole civilian contractor gig.

phil, did you have to buy new fog light brackets with kit or you re-used the original from the stock front? thanks.

philodox

if you wish to use foglights you have to get different brackets. they were easy to install though. they run about $67 or so from Rosenthal

mikeb

pretty cool

you pretty much made your own mazdaspeed rx8
turbo and all

Paul_in_DC

Don't go there... :D

rudy8

hey dude
like your web site...and all the mods.
makes me dream about doing a turbo.
hey...one question.; what is your gut feeling about having a turbo in this car? not just the rush of adreneline that comes with power, but the daily feeling of balance?
does it still feel like the car you fell in love with initially, or do you feel overmodified?
i only ask because i once had a 911 and i modified it so much it no longer had the balanced character of the original car even though it went like hell.
great work in any case....love reading all about it!

Omicron

Looks reeeeeeeeeeeally good Jon!

philodox

Overmodified? Not in the least. at 7psi you don't sacrifice any of the RX-8's "daily drivability".. it's only 240rwhp, well.. that's a lot, but still.. it's still easy to control the boost and drive around town to run errands.

Thank Omicron, much appreciated. I'll have that thing ready for you by the end of the week. I'll send you a PM when it's ready.

Moostafa29

Looks great. Do you plan on completing the rear? It would also look a little meaner with a lowered stance.

Hellblazer

Looks good.

philodox

coil overs are one of the next things on my list. I have the racing beat springs on there right now.. only lowered it by about 1/2".

flip

nice.. nice.. NICE! :D
