Who Can Build The Perfect RX8?
#27
Hi,
I am in High school.... and want to ask anyone who knows Rx8.... WHat do I need to build a perfect RX8.
Here is what I like.
Good acceleration,
Sexy Looking,
Silver or Gray,
Beast As Fuc* Rims,
Banging Music,
Nice Paint Job,
Something that when my friend and his new 2010 Evo pulls up.. He says "**** your life" and I smile and drive off (knowing that I really couldn't beat him in a race.. unless there is something I dont know.)
Thanks,
So post the recipe to the perfect Rx8. And dont ask about a budge... I dont have one. I am in High school making $1000+/week... So spending money comes easy to me since I look more as assistance on getting a job, or making girls hate.
This will really be the most expensive thing I have ever done, and I think its worth it consider I will keep it through collage.

Well I am actuallly looking more in terms of Sounding beast under the hood and a sexy body kit.
So thats pretty much it. I do not want to win races, just wanna turn heads like when I see an rx8 right now. I know I couldnt beat the Evo, which is why I am not into all that high priced engine swap thing.
Thanks guys,
P.S I do not sell drugs, I work with a friend making $50/hour repairing computers.

If you get a 2010 R3, turbo it to 280 or so, you would have a fighting chance of beating an Evo. All depends on the drivers. A 3700lb curb weight really hurts the Evo vs the ~3k curb weight of the R3.
Everything else is personal taste. Look what other people are doing, find products you like & budget until you can afford them. For the best value learn how to install most of the parts yourself or enlist the help of friends. Getting involved here and watching for deals in the for sale (parts) section might also help. If you're really lucky you might find that someone has already built your dream car and is putting it up for sale here.

No Doubt. You can get tons of bad advice if you dont know who to ask. Some people will try to make their opinion sound like fact. As far as insurance, Any car with high performance is gonna be bucks at your age. Look around on some posts, these kids are paying around $2000 or so. so you might as welll use your high paying chore money and buy a corvette or something.

Next time, try to come off more humble and maybe you will be more likeable. Not all of us were lucky to be born into money or lucky enough to land a great paying job. Its considered a sensitive subject you will soon learn. The best paying job I had meant busting my _ss in construction dealing with the elements of heat and freezing weather for 12+ years and than getting laid off thanks to the banks.

Wow, thats the most jerkish thing I have ever heard... Who assumes I was born into money. Actually, I was born in Cameroon. One of the long list of poor african countries, we speak french and dont have money for toys. I didnt get any toys till I was 12, and christmas was something unheard of (well we celebrated it, but never knew of the gift part). I came here and due to my deprived child hood toy collection.. phones became my toys, and now they are the reason I make a lot of money at my age.
Do you know what time I get up in the morning.. 4AM.. SO I can work, go to school, come back, work, do my ap homework and then sleep. Thats why I want a car like the Rx8 so bad... because for the small free time I have.. I wanna enjoy a ride around or go on a date (something I rarely do, since I work hard).
So I am sorry if I seemed like I was born a rich dick... But thats nothing close to the truth. And as a matter of fact, my family moved here, my mom made $24K a year for the 5 of us, and we lived in a 2 bedroom apartment and only 4 people could stay there, so my mom hid me from them. But with all this going on, and me being like 9.. I thought we were rich. Like we finally had tv's at home, water, food, and school.. I didnt have to walk 3 miles both ways....
Anyways, ya, now you know that I am not a spoiled kid that has money flying out his ***. I work hard, and earn it.

Well in that case, congrats. Its nice seeing people get out of those situations. I apologize but cant stand hearing people bragging about money in these times. I am not saying you were but I bet a majority of us felt that way. Its nice to see the young considering the 8 but as one said in here. Alot of us wrecked our first cars and abused the crap out of them the 8 accelerates so smoothly and quietly, that you think your going alot slower than you actually are. Speeding tickets at a young age with already high insurance rates isnt good.

Well I did not want people making their usual statement.. "You cant afford that" because I can, but because of my age.. its always a problem.
I usually tell no one how much I make unless its relevant to my conversation or helps me in some way...
As far as insurance.. my moms insurance wouldn't be too bad, and since I am a straight A student... I should get a discount. For street racing, or speeding.... Im not that stupid. Ill get black on black on black, and try to watch out at night for cops.
And I watched a video of the RX8 accelerating then doing a donut, and I am so!!! getting this car.

You should have fun with your ride under 2 conditions:
1. Fully support yourself, that means paying every single penny on everything.
OR
2. Have wealthy parents that are willing to spoil you.
