My Name is Giovanni Alcala


UPDATE!!! 08/12/2014

Hello my fellow rx8 and rotary lovers... I'm new here, Kinda.

let me first start with some backround.

I am from Gilroy, CA. went to San Diego to purchase my 2004 Mazda RX-8 GT. Lightning Yellow. she was a beauty, fully loaded, heated seats, leather, Bose,
sport pckge etc etc...

Brought her home, (thanks to this forum i've been making full use of the "Search" function.)

Because of a CEL. i replaced the coils, plugs, wires, air filter and gas cap.
she ran superb for a few months, then my uh "bearing" for the tranny went out. forgot what it was called, so i went ahead and replaced the clutch with a Exedy Organic clutch kit. (no more Slipping) purchased at 62k miles.

First things i did was window tint, paint stock rims Black, put in Grom Bluetooth to stream music via my iphone BLuetooth. then i put in a Single Alpine Type-R 10" Sub. and Alpine Mono AMP. sat on that untill april-may 2013.


Here are pics of it stock...with tint and system




Then Between April-May 2013 the MOD bug got a hold of me and i started making large orders of parts... i was already lurking these forums and Google, i knew what i wanted.

Is the car going to run E85 or pump gas/race gas/meth?

Reason I mention is, if it will run E85 you would be better off with 6 ID13000s...
