Hey guys, I just wanted to say hello. I'll be picking up a Project RX8 that I'll be gearing out for SEMA this year and will probably be hitting you up for some feeback, comments, opinions, etc.

Right now, it looks like Design Engineering, Inc. (DEI) will be hosting the car in their booth and it'll be geared out for Drifting so if anyone wants to drop some suggestions my way before it hits my shop feel free!

I'll post pics and updates accordingly.

 

i'd suggest you stop spamming the forums with threads - this one is plenty

 

owned

 

i prefer the term "bitch slapped"

 

that works too

 

uhh, could you be more vague or? suggestions on what? wheels? exhaust? interior? What does "geared for drifting" mean? Are you throwing a 13b in there and boosting the buhjeezus out of it? or are you just throwing backwards vinyl all over the place and calling it a "drift" car? I mean, if you were serious in looking for suggestions and all then you could have been more specific, this just looks like someone trying to spam their company name otherwise, and we don't need any more of that crap.

 

................wow.....

 

I have a "sneek peek" at our sema project....i can email the pics if someone will post them for me.....thanks.....

 

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome guys.

 

After doing some serious research RX8 turned into a bust real quick. The RX8 has got nothing on the RX7 which was a big suprise. We got a dealership to give us one and after like 2 weeks of motor reasearch and online reading we opted out and gave the damn thing right back.

 

NEW UPDATE - DEI completes SEMA Drift Car: NISSAN 240SX - thanks for all the Help McKinney!

 

Ownership by forum members is over rated, but thanks for playing.

 

Yea it would take someone with a brain in his head to do something ground breaking and different.

I see you took the cookie cutter 240sx path instead.

 

now get the hell outta here...

CB.

 

He could of atleast used a 97+ to be a bit differant but dam... a old school 240.. those are only what 16 years old?

I think maybe he just bumped this 4month old thread to brag

 

not only that..an old school 240 as a demo car??? how original.... i swear man, people these days don't have a mind of their own..

 

lollerz

1) The RX-7 is faster and that's a big surprise? Have you been living in a cave? Did you do a test drive?

2) The RX-7 was also priced in the low end of Corvette territory. The RX-8 is in Camaro territory. The difference in price will buy you a buttload of mods.

3) Weeks of research? All you had to do was go into the forums and look for turbo threads. PTP and Greddy both have kits. If that's not enough tire-shredding power, you can always swap in a lower rear gear.

From a mechanical stand point it is what it is - the RX8 was engineered for exactly what it does. The reason people haven't broken out that motor is because of that realization. Now there have been a few companies that played around with and dumped a ton of money down the drain and into that motor but c'mon....you all are going to hate on me when this is pretty much the honest truth?

Haters...pff

 

Building a demon takes time and seeing is how worthless some of the responses were why would I want to come back. But now, since everyone a self-proclaimed expert on forum pages (ha) I see the career posters have come out of the woodwork.

 

like this chach...

It just sucks that I can go to any other forums for suggestions or comments on new projects and even with such a "generic and vague" post still manage some great feedback and suggestions for my builds.

But you RX8 guys...hmmmm, just having a hard time realizing that the car is an absolute dog - Really, if you had the choice would you really take an rx8 over an EVO or even an SRT4?

 

CryO2man - officially out!

 

oh and, BUMP this
