The Ultimate Super Combo - No Budget -

I thought long and hard about this and then I realized all the answers are spread out somewhere and we all have them within us.

Instead of eeking that out, (mostly due to laziness), I came up with a grand idea.

Inviting ALL persons to BUILD your DREAM SETUP!
Bill Gates Just handed you a Blank cheque and said, spec & Build...

Absolutely no do-overs...

One-time, Perfect machine with all current market setups anything from the ground up, shoes, suspension, drivechain, functional exterior, forced induction...

The Perfect handling Rx-8... The Supercar... The Demon of the Streets ...

The ULTIMATE Show Piece!!!!

Feel free to throw some pictures for all those Adobe Enhanced individuals.

I would so get it

But where are the super-combo ideas, or no one wants to spill what their perfect machine is before someone just goes out and buys all the components. :D

I would somehow get a 4 rotor in it. Turbo of course.

Then a gearbox that could handle the power. Lightweight spaceage everything. ceramic everywhere, carbon fiber. titanium. With an open exhaust

Completely stripped, all the GT spec carbon fiber panels they sell, cage, 5 pt harness, cockpit of gauges inside, lexan windows.

In fact they can just re-do the frame in titanium.

I'll just give you my dream engine parts list.

6 port Renesis. Casting flaws cleaned up from intake manifold runners. Disable AWP and remove hoses associated with it. Port primary intake ports and fill in with epoxy the AWP "lip" at the port opening. Clean up all intake and exhaust port runners. Grind open the exhaust ports into the water jacket, reweld, radius, and smooth for proper flow. 2 piece eccentric shaft with center bearing. Custom cast rotors based on '87-'88 Turbo II RX-7 8.5:1 compression rotors machined to accept Renesis side seals, oil control rings, and cutoff seal. 2 piece Ianetti ceramic 2mm 13B apex seals with 13B corner seals. Engine stud kit to replace tension bolts. 3rd oil injector per rotor being fed by pre-'89 mechanical oil metering pump. Ported oil passages milled to increase full length diameter internally. Hymee twin screw supercharger w/v-mount air/air intercooler. Scanalyzer reflash tool. Mazsport ignition coil upgrade. Lightweight 8 lb. aluminum flywheel w/ACT street/strip clutch.

I'm probably forgetting something.

My dream is to get the electric turbonator, the electric supercharger, the magnets that go around the fuel lines, the universal performance chips on ebay, a large TYPE-RACING spoiler, chrome spinning hubcaps, a very big V-TEC sticker, along with 6 inch exhaust tips. I can't wait!

I'd consider my exterior to already be my dream set up, but as far as engine goes, I'd take a fully N/A built 20b, dsg tranny, and some Zeal coilovers.

My ultimate super combo is to wrap my RX-8 in spray-painted gold hershey kiss wrappers, wait till its considered a national treasure and quadruples in value, and then sell it for a GT-R.

C-C-C-C-combo breaker!!!!!

Methanol and Nitrous, or just go all out and run on Nitro-Methane........

No Cryogenics on the eccentric or rotors?

I would Cermet coat everything in that engine that it was possible to coat...

PS: I'd also start with the 16X design....... and make it from Titanium
PS2: Take a tip from MM and pay the Bunny Ranch for co-pilots....
