Quickest RX8 in STX at nationals - 5th overall out of 54 entries.

Quick run down: (See SportsCar article - same parts/different car http://tinyurl.com/stxrx8)
Sparco seat
Custom tune - Cobb AccessPort
Header
Pulleys
Small battery - Braille, iirc.
RB intake
Mid pipe with cat and light resonator
JIC Titanium muffler. Light as my B stock exhaust, but tons quieter. No problems with sound.
Racing Brake BBK
Motons
Lightweight wheels (I have two sets, we can discuss what goes with the car)
Hankooks with a year's worth of life left.
OS Giken diff
Wing - although the BOD hasn't spoken yet, so you never know. I was going to run without it in 2011 anyway. I think it will be better balanced and quicker.

$15,000 obo

I'd like to go CM, or so I've convinced myself without having even driven one. :D

edited to add the OS Giken diff and reason why I'm selling.

Crikey, knowing what it has taken to build my Miata to a similar level, that sounds like a bargain. Good luck with the sale.

Good luck with sale KJ. Having received some severe beating from this car, this is the car to have in STX :thumbup: What is CM and what car are you getting?

Probably a Van Dthing. They seem the very popular.

Make sure you get a man-sized CM chassis.

Cool! Not that you are selling the RX-8, but that you are going to CM. Need help schlepping it around the country? ;)

I want to get a real race car, but I don't want to do a whole bunch of fab and make one. CM seems like a great way to do that.

C Modified: Learn to autocross, roadracer! Spend 60% of the initial price of your car modifying the handling to get rid of push. Then you can go slightly slower than an F125.

URL: Modified Classes

Good Luck with the Sale KJ.
Beautiful car.
