Arca's RX-8 Time Attack Build Thread (13b-REW Swap)
This truck is a non-catalyst truck. Was originally sold in Arizona, it's got the sticker and everything so no catalytic converter required even for inspection. Apparently it's SUPER rare to find a non-catalyst with a manual trans in this year range.
Sweet!
I know, not a whole lot of updates or progress. When I got promoted at work I went to night shift and it's been killing me. Have only been able to manage to sleep for about 3 to 5 hours a day no matter what I do, so I'm a zombie all the time now.
Thought I would post because these showed up along with the rest of the body kit and they are super ******* cool. Front door is 16.5lbs and rear door is 11.4lbs. I think between all of the doors, going from stock to this is more than 200lbs of weight savings. Not pictured, complete widebody kit to fit 18x12" wheels and 315mm tires, carbon fiber roof, and carbon fiber trunk. Stock hood is already aluminum and of comparable weight to wet carbon hoods so I skipped that.
