RX8 Mini Project

So feeling pretty good with the car minus the lack of suspension tuning.. I started laying out my next plans. I've got auto-x school on the 11th of July and my next race isnt until October (yea.. NASA cancelled a lot of events this year

)

My next steps after getting the suspension setup, corner balancing and the coil/ignition squared away is going to be tint. The car is friggin HOT in the summer with black interior!

Then its an accessport. I really want to log some information on this car and get a little more out of it with that midpipe!

I've got the exedy clutch waiting to go in as well, so I'm going to source a flywheel for it and get that in sometime later this fall (if the stock clutch holds out until then). I plan to throw some synchro savers on at that time too.

So by my October race the car should have:
- Suspension done
- Ignition done
- Exedy clutch / unknown flywheel
- TINT
- Synchro saver
- Accessport

I think this will keep me "happy" for a while. I'm hoping with the ignition, clutch/flywheel, AP tuner I can get it up to the 194-196whp range (up 14-16whp from 180whp last time).

Its by no means a monster, but it should be a great cone smasher. The only mods after that might be a catback and then all the safety equip-- seats, bar, etc....
