that wing looks horrible

 

 

goes with the rest of the car, at least he doesn't have a full veilside kit and just euro lip spoiler, that would definetly look funny.

 

Honestly... I like it but of course I'd love to add some critisizm as well. You might want to try and find a wing that flows a little better with the car... The big *** wing look is fine for your car... just not that wing. As far as the rims... those new 2006 (actually might have been 07') volks that are black with the red stripe around the lip... those are yours. You HAVE to buy them now. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, for some reason te37 came to mind, but I'm not really sure... I dont have their new product pdf anymore. I'm sure someone here knows.


oh yea... and ditch those ricer taillights

 

hey GRBMAZDA, didn't you used to have a turbo kit in your car? what happened?

 

those ricer taillights that youre talkin about are stock!!! get it straight bro

 

I'm pretty sure he was just joking

 

Yep I used to..But god bless me and i took it of just before i damage forever my renesis...Well now i have many na mods which gave me very good power and my car with this setup in rims and tyres slides with third gear for fun...Excellent power...And when a good turbo is out then i ll hit a good number...hehehe...

 

so... let me guess. its not as fast as it looks?

 

^Guess again cause you where wrong ;P
50hp over a stock euro 8 but here its not the appropriate thread for this kind of information

 

Black hoods are so fugly. I dont get it.

 

cant reach the mid 13's in the 1/4 still? meh w/e. your car, do what you want. as long as you like it and youre happy with it.

 

Does the stock euro 8 come short handed, compared to the 6 MT we get here, cause I just wanna know how you managed 50 HP with bolt on mods, pulleys, plugs, wires, an intake, header. You must have found the secret ones, since the rest of us going down the NA path, can only manage to come up with 4 or 5 HP. Have you discussed all of that at length anywhere, I would like to read it. Not slammin' ya, just curious, let the rest of us in on the secret.

 

^Yep my mechanic found the secret ones..The key is the programming of the ecu to take the new values of your mods...Thats the key!!And offcourse my single exhause hehe!!Think about how easy is now the get the gus out from the straigh single exhaust...

As for you SayNoToPistons how can you say i can't reach mid 13s??Where did you get that??I haven't made a gtech yet but also think that i have 19s and 265tyre rear and still spinning!!I don't have a reason to say bull@@@t but i have one of the last dyno to saw you if you like when i came back in a few days from my vacation...

 

Gets better every picture.

I would do a few things different, but that's why we are all diferent.

Still like it.

 

Dude I remember this car from Greece! Big thumbs up!!! Great job front to back side to side lol

 

have you thought about changing out your hood to somehting vented? (yeah i know you would have to repaint it)

 

I do believe he mentioned he was looking into it.

 

i had a single exit turbo exhaust prototyped on my car and i ended up losing 4-5 lbs or torque.. =( ...

 

good point, I have not seen any large gains from an exhaust, or any of the mods he has. So he must have a genius for a wrench, the ECu has not really been crakced by anyone else.


GrRx8MaZdA, do you have your dyno sheets posted somewhere, or a thread where all of your performance mods have been discussed at length. I would enjoy reading it, and don't recall seeing it anywhere, but this is a big forum, with a lot to read.

 

^ +1 ... 50hp from intake and exhuast? no porting? wtf?

 

Hey man wtf is not appropriate phrase here ok?if you want to laugh or anything go to another thread...So i just came back from a trip..I ll post one of the last dyno sheets.This is before i make the last programming to the ecu..(my mechanic not me)

So to answer some questions fast...Yes i ll make a hood-Veilside+Varis in the stock hood to have perfect fitment...

Also the ecu has been cracked in a big percentage so mate you are wrong...Believe me.I have seen it with my eyes..And if you were in Greece you could see what a big difference there is between my car and a stock rx8 and remember i have 19" with 265 tyre rear and still spinning...I will make a thread soon for the mechanical..I didn't make cause i finished the car and i didn't have time-summer in Greece hehehehehe!!



So please if you have questions send me a pm or wait to open the thread..

 

people he is talking CRANK hp. his car is rated at 231(europe rating) but when they dyno the cars in europe (with that crazy european figure out the crank hp thing which is completly WRONG) the results are 200- 210ish hp. His car dyno'd the european way is seeing results of 250. he has all sorts of parts PLUS a reflashed PCM. . but again that is CRANK HP.

now im wondering who did the work? was it the folks in italy? Astra Racing? is that who you got the pcm done by?

 

I think the car looks GREAT.
The man did what he wanted to do and it came out the way he wanted it.
I salute you for your hard work.

 

Zoom you are absolutely right..250crank when the stock high-power in Europe takes out 200hp-210most crank...So i am 40-50over stock here...Not bad at all right?No no Italian guy a 100% Greek guy who had very good relations with Usa mechanics and japan tuners..He took my car from death and not its spinning mad!!
