Hi everyone,
Now that there's a couple tuning options for S2s, is there a reputable tuning shop in the Bay? Anyone? Or should I be looking to make a socal trip???

I would definitely make a socal trip for tuning. I don't think there are a lot of active s2 tuners here in the bay area. If there are, i don't know what kind of experience they have as well.

Thanks for the feedback Mazdaspeed. Do you know any tuning shops down there? Or maybe I will ping the Socal guys... Since I will be using a new tuning platform, I want the best tuner that isn't afraid to use these new options...

How do you like your RX 8 so far?

I'm loving my Rx-8 more and more everyday. Learning something new each time I get behind the wheel. I'm pretty grateful for this site and for the knowledge a lot of the experienced drivers share. There are only 3 rx8's in my town, so there isn't much of a "local community" here, but I am going to keep trying to find some enthusiasts
close by to bounce ideas off of one another. Thank you for asking!

CHEERS!

Hey Izzy, i currently do not have those items or i do and they are on the car :P you wont have trouble finding the ms cai ,the ms body kit on the other hand is a different story, it is discontinued and it'll be very hard to find authentic ones on the market. with everything else, definitely shop in the FS section here and you'll find a lot of awesome things.

Here are those updated pictures. I have only had the vehicle for 2 months. Let me know what you think!

I also installed a Blue AEM CAI yesterday (about 30 mins to do). I love the sound when putting the pedal to the floor. If you are thinking about getting a good sounding CAI, AEM is wonderful.

If anyone lives in the Modesto area, let me know! Would like to meet some local Rx8 owners.

CHEERS!!

Anyone know a good website to buy coilovers? And anyone have any suggestions on coilovers?

I have the AEM intake also and love it except one thing.There are two screens in the tube , one before and one after the MAF. unfortunately they arent secured the best and had the screen after the MAF fall and get lodged into the throttle body. just from my bad experience i would reccomend removing that screen, and if yours didnt have it to begin with im jealous!

Car looks good man!

Depends on what you want your car to do.
If you want to be slammed to the ground the BC Racings go pretty damn low.
If you want it to handle and be useful for the track, the KW's are the way to go. thewy are pricey but god are they good. I have had mine for almost 5 months and they are amazing in every single way. But they dont go super low by design.

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2

Yup, depends on what you want to do to your car, i have HKS Hipermaxx's RS, decent DD, a little rough but handles great especially on the track. If price doesn't matter, i recommend Tein Flex's with the adjustable dampening controller, great coilovers but pricey. BC does go really low but i don't recommend them for quality reason's unless you're just a regular street car with some spirited driving but no track days or anything. H$R Coilovers are decent, Eibach made the Mazdaspeed Coilovers, you got many options, just depends on need.

I'll post up some old pics of my rx8, ever since these pictures, i raised the car slightly, wheels are now powdercoated and have some plans for the car including a much needed rebuild.
