The Ultimate RX8 Build Going On - Pics and Story

I have not been on this forum in a while so I thought I would share this new build we are doing. This RX8 will be equipped with many of the best products. For the wheels, we have custom made HRE 844R in 19 inch staggard setup. The wheels are a gloss black with a painted match outer lip. For the brakes, we are equipping the car with the Rotora front 6piston big brake kit and 4piston big brake kit, both which have 2 piece drilled and slotted 355mm rotors. The suspension will be equipped by JIC Magic and Agency Power. The car will be riding on the JIC FLTAR coilovers with the Agency Power front and rear adjustable sway bars and sway bar links. The car will then feature a complete INGS NSpec body kit with a Seibon carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber decklid. To give it that GT look, a APR carbon fiber GTC wing will be installed.

The power will come under the hood with a JDM 20B Cosmo engine. This car will be completely custom built from the wiring, intercooler, headers, radiator, and turbo kit. We plan on running a large single turbo to produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 crank horsepower. As we are just in the beginning stages, stay tuned to this thread for more details. You can also view all the build pictures here that we forget to post.

get a Varis hood instead of the Seibon, the fitment is usually better. Besides, I don't think your client will have issues with the price difference.

I don't think it'll be a time attack car, 19" wheels instead of 18"...
Anyway i'm subscribing to see what this car will look like!

Out of curiosity: what transmission are you going to use?
