The replacement

The replacement
so sold the 8, I had various issues with mine 2 transmission rebuilds, 3-4 engines (i forget the count), and various other little things so I finally replaced it with something that will probably be even more of a head ache, but I never said i was smart lol
Before

After
At first I thought it was a r1 but it seems to be lacking the 2nd oil cooler and had leather seats and cruise control (that doesnt work lol) and no sun roof so it may be a base model with a *** load of options put on it afterwars
specs: 3mm seals full balanced engine, stock twins in non sequential setup, ported wastegate(so he says cant tell withotu taking it off), powerfc, greddy front mount and piping, hks bov, 6 puck clutch, greddy exhaust, hks down pipe, tein flex coilovers, bunch of other crap i havent figured out to
this car used to sit outside nearly forgot in a parking lot for a long time and i bought it off him. Car is running perfect the clutch slave and master cylinder was replaced as it failed on me after being used for the first time in a long time(nothing like a surprise as ur clutch pedal getting stuck on the floor) . tint was redone and its starting to look amazing again.

slight changes under the hood (still work in progress)
6 injectors, 71mm brog warner (mechanic wanted bigger ~_~.) 4in down pipe and mid pipe(you can see its not mated to the turbo yet, howe al radiator, dual denso fuel pumps. BHR created a custom resonator for me to use if my car ever gets out of the shop.
next goal is ac![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Random funny looking pic someone took of the car when i had the headlights up still (d2s projector retrofitted into the head light, aiming is a pita). also my wheels are so dirty they look gun metal instead of silver lol
