AutoExe makes some really nice kits.
new front end

old front end

Akiros · 02-21-2009, 11:38 PM

yikes. hope he got a good deal. riced out kit probably means the car was ragged out. rotaries don't like that.

Mmm not necessarily.

From my experience with the RX8 community A LOT of the owners are aging middle 30's-40's guys with no taste. Horrible wheels and fitment, bad paint schemes, gay ass aero, etc...

s13dan · 02-22-2009, 12:02 AM

yea most RX-8's are fucked from the start because of bad owners...

sub9lulu · 02-22-2009, 07:44 AM

the R3 ?

from mazda

lucky7 · 02-22-2009, 09:06 AM

tell him to leave it OEM. aftermarket body stuff looks tacky as hell. it'll make the car look like a matchbox car. oem or bust.

Yup. With a nice drop and wider wheels the car looks damn fine OEM.

This is my buddies.

When he wasn't as low.

CmR333 · 02-22-2009, 04:53 PM

trust me from experience tell him to monitor and maintain that car to aircraft specs or he will have problems later down the road. as for the kits all the ones from auto exe are top quality but top dollar as well. tell him to look on rx8club.com im a member there as well same name and all. he can find out anything and everything about that car there, pm me if he needs any help. and if it does pop i can show him how to put a real motor in it like i have lol.

Tell your friend to sell the car.

Get an rx7, some BN, and take a loan out on some ridonkulous wheels and call it a day.

CmR333 · 02-22-2009, 08:47 PM

or just do a sr swap like me. to bad i already sold my tranny. they are expsensive

s13boy89 · 02-22-2009, 08:50 PM

well he bought the car with the kit already mounted like that

CmR333 · 02-24-2009, 05:50 PM

just tell him to get the mazdaspeed kit and call it a day. its clean not to low and dosent make the car look like its getting ready to fly to mars.
