Hey guys! So I've been a member here for quite a minute, I just don't post a whole bunch. It won't let me post outside of here or else I would've put it in discussion 😅. Anyways, I finally just picked up my first rx8 after years and years and years. I waited until my income was high enough that I could careless if the engine blows. I got an 04 with 139k, motor rebuilt and street ported by trex ~10k miles ago. Compressions perfect, I love it to death. Already on Tien coilovers installed by angel motorsports in VA. AEM intake and secondary air pump delete. I made a post about it last week, and someone told me to post pics and plans so here we go!

Rebuilt motor, hella pretty ❤️

Dont mind the bird sh**, i just detailed it and then the bird said f u



Now for the fun part, here is my build timeline in order of first to last.
-BHR Coils/Plugs and Sohm Adapter Kit
-S2 Starter
-Versatuner Tune to increase OMP output
-High-Flow Cat/Nvidia q300 Exhaust. Maybe headers too?
-Volk Graphite 5 Spokes (not sure which style i want yet)
-Black Cherry Wrap professionally installed
-LED Tails+Third brake light in triangle.
-Short Shifter (might not do this, I like the stock shifter)
-INGS +1 or Lionkit Flares, going widebody just don't want it to look dumb (open to suggestions)

-Pettit Racing supercharger if I'm able to find one so I'm not all show no go

Whenever the motor goes, which hopefully won't be for awhile:
13B REW Swap.


Any ideas and opinions are welcome, this is my dream car and money isn't an issue. Really excited to start this build. Many many years of research and just surfing this forum led me to this build breakdown.
