started getting her ready for the REMIX show.

 

installed 99 spec front bumper and new SMIC

 

going to do a good wax job on the car...first one

 

Laz was up bro call me up man.. Long time no see. you gonna come out to Remix event @ Dolphin Stadium on the 31th ?

 

Did Mothers 3 step detail process for pre-wax, glaze, and wax. Was skeptical but now my paint has never looked better. Got rid of all the crappy swirl marks left by the previous owner and made an average paint job look soo much better. Very pleased. I'll have to try Zaino or clay bar next time.

 

was trying to make it to show off the new body and 18x12s, but doesnt look like it. my drivers side lense flew off, didnt even see or hear it fly off. now need to order one from Jay and car is in paint.

 

Woke up at 4 am before work (couldn't sleep) started cleaning the engine bay and mocking up fab for undertray and CAI relocation

 

I pulled the cover back, shook my head at the dust that's it's collected, put the cover back on and worked a little on the suspension.

 

just finished taking the open core to my mechanic and getting ready to finish sanding the engine bay.

 

whooped the hell out of a new camaro (Bumblebee) and a nissan sentra..lmao..poor nissan..to bad I was by myself so no videos this time....o and only at 13 lbs..

 

Installed a tough mod today...

Gotta finish the passenger side door, got the passenger side fender on.

Full interior strip, carpet removed. cold side turbo pipes / intercoolerpiping. UIM. now for the LIM the rest of the heat shields and to put that stock turbo where it belongs. Did this over the past weekend.

 

The race prep is coming along nicely I see

 

I will be replacing it with lightweight carpet. Jesus that stock carpet is heavy. a good 30+ lbs saved. All the plastics will be going back in. My AC still works. Will be a full street class full interior full AC beast.

 

Haha! When I pulled the carpet out of my Parts car I was like, "WTF? They saved weight on everything BUT the carpet apparently!" Can't wait to get to interior work in 6 months or so in order to get quiet coat and a different carpet in!

Speaking of...Mark...what are you doing with your Stock Turbos? Might be interested. Also...did you have tan or black interior door panels?

 

I have tan, willing to go black. Or do a tan plus cash for black. The stock turbos on it are done burning a healthy amount of oil. I have most of a 99 set and most of another stock set at my house need be.

 

im so happy i saw this thread today!!

i was driving to school on 107th ave and flagler down here in Miami

a kid in a grey RX8 pulls up next to me and starts telling me about this little rx8 meet their gona have on thursday and is telling me how much he loves the car and all

...3 seconds later, because he wasnt paying attention...drove straight into the car in front of him...i felt really bad but couldnt help laughing

im happy that i can now officially say FD's are so sick they cause accidents!!!

 

dear god.

Here are some pics of the progress.

 

Yes, would like to remove carpet too....the only thing tan in my car is me.

 

Soo finally bolted the new turbo in, put the lim back on. Now just need to reinstall the fuel system, oil coolers, then the rest of the ic/intake and we can do a test start. Fuel pumps and new fuel lines of course. Vacum mess is left to annihlate aswell. yadda yadda.
