  • BStock RX8 Set-up

    Finally getting off my duff and prepping the RX8 for BStock. Amy is doing well in this car and I want to get it prepped for her assault on BStock Ladies at Nats 2006. Here's what is planned:
    1. Wheels and R compounds. Got these late last year... 245/35/18 Kumh0 710s on 18x8 SSR Comps (light!).
    2. Alignment (did that last weekend, added 1.5 degrees more negative than the stock set-up in front! -0.9 total... yea, it had over .5 positive camber before!)
    3. Replace blown RR shock. Dunno what happened here but it's been blown for 2-3 weeks. Going to pick up the car in a few minutes with replaced shocks.
    4. Exhaust. Borla 3" muffler and custom cat back. Ordering parts later today. Light and loud. Stock muffler alone is 39.5 pounds. Goal is a 10 pound system with a straight-thru SS case muffler and ceramic internal packing.
    5. Koni or Tokico shocks. $550 shipped for Konis, but the rears are essentially non-adjustable (remove from car and compress to adjust). $620 Tokicos are adjustable on the car. True Koni Double Adjustables are not available yet.
    6. Bigger, adjustable front swaybar. Working on that.
    7. Brake pads. Might get some Hawk HPS pads, just for contengency possibilities? Stock pads seem to work well.

    That's all we can do. Which is nice.

      Didn't do much of this. Sold the car and new owner picked it up August 29, 2006.

      G'BYE! Go on with your slow ass rotary. What WAS I thinking????

      E36 M3, get over here! You too, XP car!
