RX8 Wide Arch Kit
Hey folks, buying an RX8 today that I plan on fitting an SR20DET engine too (don't kill me yet) and I need a wide arch kit also as I will be running 18 x 10JJ up front and 18 x 12JJ at the rear for track and 18 x 11JJ up front and 18 x 13.5JJ at the rear for street...
Does anyone know if Mad Mike sells his Lokey Kit ? It is awesome !!! I have emailed them through his offical website but just eager to get started.

Ooooh burn. If I had a dollar every time some noob posted up about an engine swap that he was going to do that never happens I would be rich. I have seen that feature, I can appreciate the work, it's a sweet ride. Hopefully you make this happen, then I will eat my words. For now the jury is out on you.
Search for "wide body kit", there are a couple of options.

Besides, stretched tyres and bucket seats belong to the realm of showcar fail that not many users here like.

For those who are trying to be helpful instead of whats wrong with the car community...
Mike is running the bn sports wide arch kit on the madbull fd3s and I think the front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper are bn sports also but adapted by lokey to suit the wider wings and rears. Its the quarters I am interested in more than anything, the step from the lights is savage, if I could buy them it would help with the time frame.
Don't like the R-Magic or Re-Amemiya kits currently available.

Have you checked mazdatrix? They have some rear flares. I think they look ugly though.
Generic flares should also do the trick but they look ugly as well 90% of the time.
Panspeed makes specific ones too. japanparts.com has them

Pic's are rubbish for the Panspeed items but they look fairly stock...
I think Mad Mike has pretty much dominated the wide arch look with the badbull LoL

The panspeed ones are just like stock, only wider.
Cut the stock one, rivet the new one in place and you're done. I'd take them over the mazdatrix kit to keep a sober look.
Fitment may be a concern for the mazdatrix rear flares too. I'm not sure if you need their entire bumper. In that case the s1 rear tail light would look a bit out of place. The pictures show it

Kruizer, welcome to this forum , in time you will learn that if your not one of the "In" crowd, or dont have post's in the thousands, and want to do something unique , your gonna get flamed . FFS, some guy on here had many, many post's on removing a broken bolt , not to mention a vendor who received monies and didnt supply the goods who is still a member of this forum, go figure. Anyways , good luck with your mods, and post's pic's when your done.

Lately there as been an influx of stupid noobs making ridiculous claims and in general just being retarded. I got caught up flaming, so sue me. It happens, in real life I say things I regret all the time
As for flaming, well I have been flamed plenty, I consider it a compliment.

very nice altezza. get used to the negative comments and bashing. this forum is full of negative know it alls. one of the main reasons i miss owning sw20's is the mr2oc.com people are much more friendly mature car loving people.
