Hello all!
Soon to be Rx-8 owner in the So.FLA region.
I've been silently lurking/trolling the forums and learning as much as I could about the car over the past few months (and driven a few as well!) and I must say I'm glad to start fresh on a new forum!
I've got a hefty mod list coming and I'm excited to meet all the locals and their tuned 8's! I live in the Sunrise area of Broward and I always see a blue 8 running around.
Anyways enough of the jib-jab. My last car was a full Stg3 B5 S4 putting out about 437awhp @ 21psi on full RS6 K04's. A pic of her before she died--> (silver)
Due to a failed turbo inlet pipe and an impeller shard going somewhere it shouldn't she died an untimely death =( which landed me in an Acura 3.2CL as a DD.
I've worked on numerous projects with Audis, 350z/G35's, and GTIs.
A recent one I've helped in is the transition of a BT B6 A4 from a GT3071R to a GT3076R
If you guys need any help with mods, let me know! I'd be more than happy to help, and make new friends.
Hope I've got the 8 before the next big GtG!

Thanks! I plan on getting a black Mica but the titanium gray has been growing on me, as has the sunlight silver...I really don't know but at this point its a toss-up! Just waiting for the rest of the funds to come in...the way the economy is right now it was already hard enough finding a loan.

Ignition wire swap
Progress F/R Anti-roll Bars
AFE StS
Custom gauge mount like Jedi's
Then a little bit later on
Cobb AP with maps from MM
MS Front tower Struts
Water pump + 2nd Oil Cooler
And after a while another radiator

= A Rich man's car.
Fun and fast....if you can afford it..
I worked like a slave in order to buy parts and maintain it properly. But, these cars are cursed I swear, something ALWAYS goes wrong.

i guess you're the man i need to talk to when i plan on getting my B7 S4 lol, (still undecided)
welcome to the club...trust me when your black rx8 is clean (rarely) it is the biggest attention ***** ever. i have zero regrets going with brilliant black, the curves of our car show off nicely with black paint.
