We will be taking delivery of our RX8 soon and it will proove to be one of our favorite project cars. What would you guys like to see us do with our car? What kind of wheels? Engine mods? Suspension? Let us know.
These are a few of our project cars we've built. What do you think?

 

those project cars are sweet


I would like to see 19 inch volk gtc or racing hart cx rims on the 8
lowered, exhaust, intake, headers

I like the Rmagic kit and spoiler, ms mirrors

I'm excited to see what you guys will do with the 8 because those other cars you did are sweettttt

 

Sounds awsome! Id like to see it with the magic kit in white with The same Volks and then try some different suspension set ups like either Teins or something adjustable. MMm then some full suspension on that one and Big Brake Kit........Flywheel upgrade and full engine dress up! Theres more too but then id just be getting greedy lol!

 

Don't hold yourself back zerohour! We want you to be as "greedy" and creative as possible. That goes for everyone else on the forum too! We want the cars that we design to reflect the personality and culture of its owners. Its really the diversity and passion of you all that transforms our cars into art. We want everyone to have a part of its desigh. Only then can we truely be proud of our work.

 

I'd be way happy if you could get us our (real) 247 HP back...say make that 247 WHP :D !

 

yes 247 whp would be awesome and the stock suspension could handle it quite well i think

 

Develop a s/c kit now Dan! So, sorry... I should have started with, "Hello again, Dan!".

 

One thing we're definatly looking forward to is the suspension. Mazda uses alot of bracing in thier track cars. You can bet that should ad up to one sweet handling ride.

 

You guys almost have the rx8 stuff on the webstite?

Looking forward to seeing the stuff online

 

We're holding off on putting up on the existing website for now because we are in the midst of building a bigger, better website that will have everything on it. When we have other parts availabe we'll post them here in the vendor section.

 

JIC coilovers. Volk Racing GT-U in bronze. RE-Amemiya Front Bumper/side skirts(the r magic is in fiber glass, yech) AutoEXE rear bumper. I'd say go with the FEED intake, RE-Amemiya header, Amuse Exhaust, Mazdaspeed selective LSD, mazdaspeed front/rear strut bar, mazdaspeed chassis brace, front and rear anti roll bars, RE Amemiya clutch with flywheel, R-Magic Eyelids. That's about it for now.

 

So Lightemup, was that by chance your wish list?

 

Well, yeah. :D

 

The VividRacing crew just took delivery of our '04 RX8. She's the bare bones package, 'cept for the apperance package(f. lip, side spats, r. spats, and spoiler). No matching leather. No sun roof. No navigaton. No DSC/TCS. No fog lights. Nothing to distract us.
Just a Renesis rotary, 6 spds, RWD, an excelent handling platform, and access to only the best JDM parts and accessories. That's as good a place as any to start a project.

It had to be the Titanium Grey Matalic. Mostly because "Master of Puppets" was huge for me in high school. J/K. The color just made it look like a glock on wheels and just had to have it. The blueprints are laid out...so are the tools...and so it begins.

cant wait
you guys have some nice cars

 

Cool, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on the car.

 

Yea but for the love of god... please don't add 500 lbs in weight in plastic parts to make it look 'cool' because it really defeats the purpose of 'tuning' a car. I don't mind minor additions to give it an edge, but like the picture in your signature... most of that crap is useless and makes the car handle worse and drive more slowly.

Just my $.02 of course...

 

Are you going to be selling the appearance package off of the car?

 

Sorry synthtk, not selling the apperience package. We'll need that to resell the car. Besides, untill the body kit goes on it gives it a little xtra added style.

 

Just ordered some goodies from Japan today. Some for us and some for you guys. More to come soon.

 

what kind of goodies

 

Damn! Nice job with your selection of parts. Its gonna be sweet!
Nice color choice!:D

Is it possible to see individual HP results from intake, header, and exhaust?

 

Well as far as the goodies from Japan, you'll have to wait and see. We'll do what we can for H/P results but dynoing is expensive and our pockets aren't that deep. But who knows, any thing is possibile.

 

Keep us posted! I'm sure you will do a great job, just like your blue wrx that I saw in vegas!!

Took my RX8 to the track today, and the only upgrade was GRBeta falkens in 245/40/18's.

Nobody passed me, and this is a MACHINE in the corners out of the box.

Now I need suspension and little super charger kit

 

When do you think that you'll have more info online (either new website, or new postings)? I've been watching anxiously. I'm new to the aftermarket mod scene and have been able to learn quite a bit through the RX8 forum.

My goal? I'd like to up the HP / performance of the car, but don't want to piecemeal things together - you know, a Borla exhaust here, add a chip there, few stabilizer bars somewhere, etc. I'm looking for some good, solid info on how to do this as an entire project.

So far, I've seen a few projects out there - like one vendors 3-rotor mod, but I can't quite convince the wife to cough up the $41K needed for this one. I really think she's being unreasonable.
