WBRX8's RX8 Project
This will act like a journal, showing the updates I do to my car. I have a 2004 Mazda RX8, I am a Senior in Highschool, the begining of the modifications I to do my car are going to be little things here and there, but this is also to intorduce myself to everyone and show how my RX8 will come to be. I bought my RX8 on August 18th, from carmax. Called up Mazda to make sure the car was up to date with the callbacks and it was. So here it is.

I bought my Tein S Tech springs over thanksgiving weekend. Now that I was on winter break I was finally able to install my springs on sunday. Took a while, but this suspension is easier to work on than the subaru wrx, in my opinion. Ok now for the pictures
Tein Springs
Stock F. Assembly
Tein Front
Rear Stock
Rear Tein
Stock Ride Height F.
After Tein Install F. Height
Stock Ride Ht. R.
After Tein Install R. Ht.
Yesterday I got the alignment on it. And had him do these custom settings. On the caster that was the maximum he was able to get out of it to match.
Front:
Camber -0.9
Caster 6.6
Toe 0.10
Rear
Camber -1.4
Toe 0.15
*the tire picuters dont do justice so I will try to post up a full side shot.
