Haha fair enough mate
Slightly off topic, but since you track your 8, what is you wheel,tyre and suspension set up? If you don't mind me asking I have Mazdaspeed shocks and springs with 19x8.5 + 35 wheels and 245/35/19 tyres . I do have HKS hpermax11 shocks on the back ATM but have not tried this at the track yet. |

It is basically an RX7 tranny set up to bolt into an RX8 .
A local three rotor RX8 guy is running the same set up. Should work well for you. |
Nice, perhaps later I will look into tranny modification myself.
this thread needs more pictures btw! |
Just curious, why is the thread titled, "Brettus Turbo 11"?

Hard to come by over here. Mazda Motorsport members can buy a new one, only source of I'm aware of in the USA exc ept for importing one. That won't be cheap either. R51K-03-000 GEARBOX, 5 SPEED RX-8 13B RENESIS 2004-2005 $2758.45 Notes: RX-8 (JAPAN MARKET) |
Is that the Mazda Motorsports price?

in theory the 5 spd FD3 aftermarket upgrades should fit, PAR Engineering has both full race dog gear set and also synchromesh street gear sets that are nice. There is also OS Giken etc. . |
Mine was an opportunity too good to miss .... bought in on line auction for $100 . It's done 90,000kms but i figured for that price i can rebuild it and it would still be a deal.
|
it looks like that or more :uhh: You should look into an aftermarket gear set if you overhaul it
. |
dznutzuk would be the person who can likely provide the most info on the comparison
https://www.rx8club.com/major-horsep...setups-225750/ apparently all you need is an FD3 trans and then the bellhousing and tailhousing from the 5 spd RX8 to swap over and then it should bolt on. . |
Maybe more ... dunno . Figured i would try it out , see how the ratios worked out for me and rebuild it if it needed it . The guy that did my engine offered a full rebuild for $700ish .
|
Only if he hardly replaces any parts. You can spend that much in parts alone in the blink of an eye.
|
that does seem cheap.
|
She lives !!!!
Really liking the new gear ratios 3rd is perfect for around town 5th is now exactly 3000rpm at 100km/hr and 3500 at 120km/hr - just where i wanted it ! Went back to stock flywheel (from ACT Prolite) and I'm very glad i did ! Low speed torque unaffected by Brettspeed runner mod - better if anything . |
congrats mate
when u getting on the dyno? |
Awesome man. Congrats. Get some video man.
