Sorry it took me so long to respond to this thread. I am interested, hope you won't be too dissapointed in my lack of ownership of an 8. (Made a stupid decision with my first dealer bought car and I can't afford to get rid of it). Send me a PM and we will discuss a good time/place to meet.

BTW, NICE rims. I just wonder how safe they are going to be to drive with in Cleveland, the Pothole capital of the world? :p

 

Devoid: This is the most AMAZING RX-8 I have EVER seen!

If only you were closer to Cali

Thanks for continuing to keep us updated through out the build.

Did you have a set budget when you began this project or just going until it's "complete"

 

That's a two-fold question! Yes, I DID have a budget when I began this project. The problem, however, is that it has turned into a go until it's complete.
Phase 1 will be complete upon completetion of all the electronics installation.
(Which BTW, I have now secured the installation of a TEIN Flex dampner system with Electronic Dampening Force control...ie I can control dampening and ride height sitting in the car)
Phase 2 will be complete upon the first oil change when I will have the clutch line, clutch, flywheel, tranny fluid, and rear diff fluids changed.
Phase 3 will be complete upon securing a MAZDA supercharger.

Then...done. I won't be able to physically do anything else.

 

Within the next 2 weeks, I should be installing the new suspension system, exhaust sytem, brake lines, and clutch line. I'll post pics as I take them!

 

What did your installer use to get the piano black finish around the radio after he hacked it up to fit that screen in there?

Thanks,
Rodger
