This is my new (to me) FD, took me a couple of years to take the plunge but this is the one!

Bought if from Pete Taylor on here, very nice chap and the car is lovely! :InLove If you were at JAE on the Sunday, you may well have seen it there.
Brief spec is:
- Apexi PFC + Commander, mapped to ~300bhp (was mapped at 287bhp flywheel ready for de-cat, so should be making near enough 300bhp now it has one)
- ARC airbox
- ARC intercooler
- Mazdaspeed ignition amplifier and earthing kit
- De-cat
- Massive catback exhaust (not sure of the make - also came with a 5Zigen one for quieter times!)
- PIAA 18" wheels
- HKS Hipermax II coilovers
I think you can see the rest of the mods in the pictures, like the RX-8 foglight, bodykit, interior panels etc. What probably isn\'t clear is all the love and attention Pete put into doing the work on the car. :) The paintjob is a black base with blue flip, but it\'s bloody hard to capture on camera! :rolleyes:
Loving it at the moment, all good so far - these things are sensitive though so doing my best to look after it! :yes
Nice car! :D
remember seeing it on the Sunday and thinking how neat the RX8 fog light looked (want one now!) very nice and welcome to rotary\'s!!, i have the yellow gen1

Thanks guys, hoping to make RS4 so I can see you all, it\'s that or an airfield day in Wiltshire! ;)
Lovely looking car mate...!
Ian you gotta come to Rotorstock now you own a RX dude :god
Only once a year you can do the airfield thing whenever, gonna be loads of people off here and FDUK there so best chance to meet most of us guys on the forum :D
Also love the choice of car you got in the end, very well maintained car as you\'ve gathered so deffo a great buy :god

Cheers man! :D
Yeah, I think it\'ll be RS4 for me, I want to spend a little more time fettling the car before any track-related activities (maybe an uprated radiator, plus need to get a second set of wheels). Wiltshire is also a bloody long way for me!
Nice car mate..... one thing though: think you\'ll find the 5Zigen system will be just as loud, if not louder!!! I think I can almost shatter windows with mine!!
I even deffend a biker going through the newport tunnels!!! Here\'s a vid clip of the 5Zigen:
