It's official!

 

awesome dude congrats

 

Thanks Pro Bro. I still can't believe it!

 

Congrats, and nice Z. Looks like a good quality build so far.

 

Thanks alot!

 

Congrats on getting her paidoff, it's been nice to see your car progress over the years

I paid mine off over a year ago this month so it's been nice to not have a car payment!

Any pics of the RX8?

 

Thanks Waizzz! I appreciate teh term "progress" because that is what it has been. Now, I want to feel the large amounts of cash roll over me....except I have vet bills to pay now

I bought the 8 when I was 19. I knew nothing about offsets, or tire widths in relation to wheel gap. Forgive me. everything else I stick by.

I DO miss the car, even though it was underpowered, it just felt snug to drive. My gf agrees too, I recently test drove the "R3 spirit of Goku" or whatever and it feels so calm even at high speeds. She thought we were going 40-50 and we were going 70-80 around a sweeping turn! But in the Z, I imagine it's what the last stage feels like before a horse is "broke" Love the Z.

very nice, congrats im on my second Z i love em! lol . car looks nice that bumper is begging for a big a$$ intercooler . By the way since you have an HR be careful with that bumper since it was designed with a DE in mind so one of your intakes is actually getting more air causing your ECU to have to compensate from bank 1 to bank 2 since your MAFs are seeing two very different things. If it ever acts up start looking at that factor first.

edit* btw when I saw the pic of the girl I initially thought that was your girl, I said "HOLY FU(K!" out loud at work lol

 

Thanks a lot!! I know there needs to be some goodies in the mouth of the beast, but I need a dd to take this gal's place if I'm looking into that.

On the topic of the hole in the bumper, I was just reading in the "look what I got today" thread about someone getting a Titek cf one, and the "discussion" of it even doing anything at all came up. I appreciate the input, but I had an Amuse rep before this with the Titek Cf inlet, and that was over 1.5 years ago and no issues as of yet, knock on wood.

That IS my girl




not

 

Put an oil cooler in there for now lol.
thats weird maybe because you have the short ram intakes, i remember someone with the stock HR air boxes had the Nismo V.2 bumper and the car acted crazy, turns out the V.2 bumper was intended for the DE and had sort of a scoop for the intake which caused the driver side MAF to read differently from the pass. side. But anyway just a heads up thats all

 

Yea, the car had JWT Pop chargers on it when i bought it so I'm not even sure of the gains there, they sound neat tho
I don't really have any plans to track where an oil cooler would be necessary, but I was thinking about throwing an interfooler in there just to get people off my back

/troll

no way would I put an interfooler in there.
