Just because you spent 2 grand on it doesn't make it look good nor does it make it fast. You just made it look stupid and and made it heavier with all the chrome Pep Boys style modifications and adding heavy wheels.

So basically you spent 2 grand to make it look like garbage and make it slower.

Might try making up your mind, because all the modifications I see are a step in the wrong direction if you want to make the car better prepped for the track.

What is your race history? To get sponsors you need good results on your record, you need to know the right people and you need to have good exposure at local and regional events. None of which it sounds like you have at the moment.

Just because you can drive recklessly on public roads doesn't mean ****. This isn't Initial D. I invite you to go to a local NASA or SCCA event, get on the track and see how ridiculously slow you really are.

You need to learn more about your own car as well if you're going to get into tracking the car.

These modifications aren't really necessary if you're just getting into participating at track events. Your money will be better spent getting out on the track and getting experience in the drivers seat. If you keep changing the car all the time it will hinder you from becoming a better driver anyways. And my guess is if you're begging for a way to get "sponsored" and think that 2 grand is a lot, you can't afford these parts anyways. Clutch and flywheel is like 1 grand and a turbo kit is about 7 grand after it's all said and done.





Good luck dude...

lol. Never. Ever ever ever. Here's some advice from one RX8 newb to another. Listen to the people here. 95% of them know what they're talking about, the other 5 are picking their brains. Be respectful, don't make stupid threads (or comments) that have already been made 100 times before you, and above all else USE THE SEARCH FEATURE. Oh, and stop posting multiple times. You have 18 posts in 1 thread. Either collect your thoughts before you finish typing, or use the edit button. I'm new to 8s, not forums.

$2k.

Wow.

Awesome. Was that just a good deal on 2 Moton shocks? Which two corners did you install them on? Or was that a dealer price for a SSV cleaning? That's about normal. Maybe a new steering rack? That's about right as well. Can't even be a set of RPF1s with Star Specs. You would be a tire or two short.

Or was that $2k in Autozone chrome? They must like you there.



Hell, I've spent almost that in 2 weeks on GAS. Just gas.

His car is dope. Wish I could have it. He is lucky, he will nail a sponsor in no time. I can shave in his chrome! Nicest and bet one of the fastest 8s on the board.

Hey don't let these haters tell you what's up. How would they know anything? By the looks of their post count, seems all they do is sit on the forum and run their mouths rather than work on their cars or have a decent build. You on the other hand my friend have something going. RESPECT!.

You should check out ID10TANGO for a sponsorship though. They'd pick you right up.

A sponsor wants to get value for the money they put forth. Are you going to be "racing" in a spectator attended series? Will there be TV and press coverage? What about you? Do you have a winning background?
All of these go to how much or even if you get sponsorship. Sponsor money is tight in the best of times. These ain't it.

Sponsorship offer for "big0daddymatt27":

Hello Sir,

I would like you to review and consider the following sponsorship offer. I will paypal you $40 to remove all the chrome off your car. Once the chrome is removed I will need you to take a photograph of your vehicle displaying a vinyl sticker that I will provide at no charge. The vinyl will read "Shady saved my baby"

Upon receiving pictures and all chrome removed from your vehicle I will then forward you an extra $50.

After conformation that your vehicle has all aftermarket chrome items removed I will offer you a salary of $10 a month for 1 year if you sell your 8 and buy a CRX.*

Please PM me to discuss further.





*This is not a contract or obligation, involving Shadycrew31 or any other concerned parties. This is merely a hypothetical offer that will never come to fruition.

alnielsen's post count is outrageous. Definitely wouldn't listen to him.

Best way to get a sponsor is represent what you would do for them. It's just like if you were looking for a female. You pick the one that will do the most for you.

Well hopefully the OP is really good at ******** because his car sure as hell isn't going to do the trick.

Let's focus on his track car build:
Worn engine with 120k miles and 60psi of compression
K&N typhoon intake with electric supercharger
ACT flywheel and stage II clutch
Megan racing\d2 coilovers with cut springs to be moar lower
BBK on stock pads
Ebay exhaust and midpipe
Replica wheels with road tyres.
Ebay bodykit with ebay wing for extra downforce.

Sounds legit... i'd sponsor that. Forza motorsport, gran turismo and fast and furious ruined the car world.

Agreed, I came back just to read because I knew there would be a lot on here since I first read the thread right when it was new. Lol.

...perfect way to kill time at work. I need time to go fast so I can be on my way to pick up my eight from the dealer.
