Some of you will have seen this on other sites how ever these photo.s WILL BE FROM 2016 AND ONLY BEING PUT ON 3 SITES IT IS FOR THE UP TO DATE 10 YEAR PROJECT
1/ THIS IS AN UP DATE IN FULL AS AT 20th Sept 2016 About the car
This system is a FCON/( IS) ECU THAT RUNS THE FULL fuel and ENGINE management system
HKS fcon/ IS, ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM now has been fully installed by TDI LONDON
The HKS FCON (is), has been selected as the choice of aftermarket ECU’s for the management of fuel and ignition timing for this application because it is comes with a high quality harness to make connectivity a simple operation, and it's level of quality and functionality is extremely high.
The main features of the FCON (is) :result of methodical testing it has been concluded that the HKS FCON (,is) is a cost effective optimum installation enhanced upgrade solution on the Mazda RX8. (AT that TIME)
Full figures and mapping results will become available ( these were posted 2010 after new engine installed )the figures from a before HKS was fitted just the supercharger engine and remap (of six independent tests) and the after figures that TDI has done with the new HKS system fitted the rest of the cars systems is still dealt with the cars original ECU there is quite a remarkable difference.
fuel economy UP in all areas
local and town driving is up to 24.6mpg (tested 2010/2011 ) new engine fitted
motorway/long runs 33.7 mpg (tested 2012 ) new engine fitted THIS ENGINE HAS RUN 49,300 MILES BEFORE TAKEN OUT AND REPLACE WITH THE ENGINE BELOW STILL RUNNING IN THE MID 7S AND AT 354 BHP
************NEW STREET-PORTED PETTIT~SUPERCHARGED 13B POWER~GAINS MOTORSPORT BUILD ENGINE FITTED 20 JAN 2015 with light weight fly wheel and clutch MPG N.K.A.Y Figures to Follow*********
Updated Figs for you as at March 2016 BHP 370+ porting and other engine periphery Mods gave us an extra 16 to 18 BHP
A 25% faster processing speed HKS ECU IS THE FIRST PROCESSOR Mazda ECU runs the rest
Built in video output function to monitor engine parameters
Plug and Play harness which makes the connectivity very easy: or record to a logger or computer

Thanks for taking the time to look, sorry for the grammar and spelling but follow the photos and you will get the Gist ;)
last but not least a big thank you to all who helped me on this project with out you I would have never got there thanks again
Damn. I just love that 8! :P
That list of mods is impressive and long. Well done. :)
Its 1 of the most unique 8s ive seen and a huge amount of work im defo making a b line for it at Japfest so i can see it in the flesh! great work and passion!
thanks chaps it looks better in the photos believe me theres a lot of stone chips and daily where now but its 9 years old I try to keep it looking good but photo shop helps ???
Around 3 months ago I decided to fabricate my own Under-tray this was because there was nothing out there for the price I was willing to pay.
And that I would have ended up modding it to get what I was after, So I needed it to be around 2mm gauge aluminium have two inspection hatchers to get at various parts of the rear front bumper.
Also to add a little more strength, air flow, and air flow up into the superchargers intercoolers also I wanted it to be removable with two plastic grommets, and 8 spire clips it is now removable in around 5 minutes.
All done for a little Under £40.00 parts and aluminium off eBay with free delivery :D
First get your aluminium put the old under Tray on the ally and scribe around the tray and all the mounting holes

cut around you scribe marks
2/
you should end up something like this I trimmed mine with some rubber seal

I then started Fabricating my bespoke parts then started making the sump Under tray

Once all the parts are made I started putting it together made the vents to size added seal, then pop riveted the vents on along with the air deflector.
The Inspection hatchers at the front have 4 spire clips fitted (2 per Hatch ) so if you slacken one off and remove the other screw then the hatch can be opened with out having to fully remove it.

Fits like a glove good project for a Sunday Afternoon thank you for taking the time to look :wink: :thumleft:
So whats under the Bonnet /Hood this is todays 19 feb 2015 Engine Look. MOT/ Oil Change tomorrow eek.
Well I took the Old Engine Out It had Done 49,300 Supercharged Miles Still Running Fine and Running Mid 7s It was a shame to pull it out. (This Engine will Be Used In Another Build Something really Special Brap, Brap, Brap, and Supercharged around 2017)
Early Last Year (Before my accident when the car was rear Ended and then shoved under the rear of a truck) I had been on to Power~Gains Motorsport to Build me something a little special, Kerim took the Racing Beat Street Porting Kit to Another level adding some Extra touchers.
The Engine Build Will Be in another thread soon.
This is just some of the Car,s Engine Bay Finished Pictures For 2015 No Figures As Yet Mapping By Torque Developments International On the 29 feb. This Is Pic Heavy !!
Welcome To Under The Bonnet
Carbon fibre bonnet home made grills And modified Rain Trays
Short video of the Build please watch in HD -------> https://www.facebook.com/people/Tony-Black/100012790506396
The Front Bumper Is ATH Hinsberger with a lot Of Modifications
The Rain Trays Have Been Modified so they still let Hot/Warm Engine Air Out and if Raining collect the rain keeping it off the engine bay buy funnelling the water out down two rain tubes.

Mx5 will be nice
Yep i agree But as a young lad in the Army i so wanted two car,s a Mazda Rx~7 any type and a Datsun 240z I got two of those one white, and then a apple green, but then got silly and married bought a house, and could never afford the 7 now its the other way round got two houses and the money not married but sooooooooooo close to it, cannot choose between the cars, i could have both but Amanda says the 8 got to go if i do that and I cannot seem to want to part with it its my Stephen Kings Christine to me ;)
sorry to anyone following on face book it all got a bit silly, and then my account got hacked then the haters/ trolls turned on the project and posted it on Rice out mazdas and the more haters, some threats to damaging the car if any one sawtout and about so I closed the account and pulled all the photos and De~friend everyone. I will start the the photo project again later under another name and only friend those i know so if you were wondering what was going on, but i was getting too much of hater and trolls, Face book keyboard warriors just love em ???
People !!!!!!!!!!!!! :91:
What happened?
So theres actually a website for people who dont like jap cars.... ???what is the world coming too. I dont like courgettes :angry5: but does not make me wanna join a courgette bashing website!.
simply jealous of your car and modding skills . ;D
Did a bit of googling and descovered theres a ricer test and im a ricer lol! Riced and Proud! :))
so you modify a jap car and your a ricer.....so if modify a german car are you frankfurterer!!!lol
Hmm, if modifying french car what are those called? ;)
Snailers.
Lol although I dont see any point on tuning those ;)
The Face Book Page Is for Any Japanese car, the 170 closed group RX rotary Owner,s there are around 22 or so in this group from the Uk most from the USA they pick on some one,s car by befriending them so you let them into your face book page then they take photo,s from your page of your build then post it up for assassination rip the build apart wait for you to retaliate But what they cant stand is if you start agreeing with them as they would like confrontation,,
The trouble is i was a member under another name which they do not know about when my turn came some of the so called uk owners even said that if seen it would receive a KEY reception so take that as a play on words if you like but i took it as a threat so thats why i took a back step and pulled my page .
I will set it back up with photos but once again there small narrow minds and bigoted kids came to mind but the avg age was around 35 out spoil things.
My new Sign on for Face Book Is Now Riced Out ;) true
Thanks for letting me rejoin your FB Timeline Tony

but this time I not giving you any names for suggestions of people you may know

Keep forgetting some of the many mods on this car. Looks awesome Tony. Well done
Thanks Chris hoping to see you over the weekend ;)
well last week dropped a set of ladders on the front end and wings so a fair bit of work to be done not happy thought about applying the course i did last year so got to grip with the wings the passengers side is done but i have a large crease in the drivers side its all down to cash which I will not spend on the build now if I cannot fix this then I will be parting the car out, :( how ever some cleverly made plates and some carbon fibre hydro dipping rather than spending cash on a spray job might work I am half way through a front end build so it might work out fine in the end.
aaaaaaaaaaaaH Bloody Cars : :'(

Really sorry to hear this will be the end of this unique car :(

Yes, my thoughts exactly... :(
Tony, dont do it ! Far easier to repair than take apart and dealing with all the vultures....
Repair it and enjoy it for as long as you can. Sell the ladder!

thanks for taking the time to look now i can get back to making the new front end bumper ;)
Back to its former glory and even better 8)
thanks clive its got to be better than the ripples along the wing ;)
Can't have ripples along the wing or it won't fly properly ;D
Glad to see the car back to it's pristine best. The addition of the two panels to cover the 'ripples' is a class act and looks well Tony
Great to see her back to top form Tony :)
Thanks Chaps Now I can get the winter service done and out of the way, then I can start to build the new style front end just a few tweaks here and there, when I have done this next Contract for MOD I will be able to get going ..... ;) works always got to get in the way :-X :-X

thanks for taking the time to look
Id say that was pretty much instant! shes got blankies on....truly pampered car 8)
Well for the last few months I have Been trying to get around the dreaded
RX~8 v10.1 and v9.81 Radio firm ware well with a few bits I have Beat it Now the I phone will link by Bluetooth/or by cable or/wifi as soon you turn the Ignition on the head unit radio , 4500 songs at the touch of a button just love it,
UBC = umbilical block connector
The small head unit is form the USA around $14.5
The kit part made up of two block connectors got off ebay 1/ take the block connector out of Mini disc HD player (sorry Old School) Then plug in the umbilical connector block (which I have made) 2/ then replace the mini disc block connector into the back of the new UBC the lead from the UBC then plugs into to the small bluetooth head unit .( in picture one) you have to make up the UBC connection wires around a meter each in length this gives you plenty of scope when hardwiring and hiding the wires out of sight …….
the small bluetooth head unit can be run in four ways
1/ Fm bluetooth - radio connection select any frequency 87.5 to 88.9 & pair instant music from your phone ….(with this there is a little back ground hiss not that audible can be heard around the volume 24 setting)
2/ mini 32gb SD Card (the card holds 4500 music tracks approx) And is radio Direct link from small head unit through UBC, press twice on Cassette/mini disc button on mazda radio unit this then connects direct and overrides the mini disc option….
3/my iPhone or android (my Samsung ) connection is use the Link supplied cable to the ear phone out socket into the USB connection to the small head unit this is the direct link to the mazda head unit and works like the 32gb card but over overrides the 32gb card and is the direct link with the radio to connect with the radio just press the cassette/mini~disc button twice this will then override the mini~disc or cassette a line in with clear no hiss or back ground noise….
4/ you can use it a bluetooth phone connection
I love the cable link direct to the Mazda head unit there is a slight loss of volume as in the first two settings is not audible but from volume 3 setting up to the limit is fine ….
The steering wheel lets you select tracks up and down all let you control the volume just a you do for cd
There is no fascia display just says mini/disc select but will play as many music tracks on your devise on a auto shuffle or playlists or Genres, albums, artist,or compilations ….
If you do not have the Aux equipment i.e. mini~disc/cassette players then just plug the made up UBC plug into the back of the AUX connection .
The small head unit comes from the USA and is Not the one for Mazda cars…thats your first hurdle…. then there UBC is for other types of car,s thats the tricky bit you have to get the blocks for the RX~8….. then take out the pins from there UBC to small head unit and place them into the Mazda aux unit …
You need to know what your doing as you can blow the complete Mazda head unit if you get the five wire connection incorrectly.. you also need to link the two live wires one to the Ignition and the other to the head unit live also you need a good Earth point but not with other earths terminals
You need A USB aux connection either through you cigarette lighter point or one of those multi adaptors …….
I have hard wired mine in now and I think its one of the best mods I have done……I am keeping this for my self as I am road testing it for a while but it works with V10.1 & V9.81 firm ware…….. the picks do not give much away
total cost around £25.00
the USA Small Head unit devise on the left

Oh and when you connect your devise some Chinese lady tells you that your connected to the Head unit once you have pressed the cassette/minidisc button twice and that is through FM bluetooth ~SD card direct Or direct iPhone cable , ;D ;D
Thank you for taking the time to look....

well a bit more one the RICE Machine today Making the Front Canards
*************************
First eat some Rice Gives you Energy ;D :13:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/exiledviking/35126256854/in/dateposted-public/
then take couple of ally strips and start fabricating them these do have a purpose they protect the under side of the front bumper
https://www.flickr.com/photos/exiledviking/35156252703/in/dateposted-public/
cut/ shape
there still in the build stage as theres some tweaks to do once completed they will be put on the new front end to get the right look then sent off to be covered in carbon effect hydro dip...... just a quick update as I am not attending any shows with the car this year.........
Wow, they took some time to form :great:
So the Build goes on for the last few days I been modding the second part of my rear defuser I have taken photos of various Rear defusers and made one of my own I only done the panels as yet but the modded parts have come to gather well so Here a few pics and a slide show thanks for taking the time to look
the first part was the inserts that idid last year :-
https://www.flickr.com/photos/exiledviking/35924812146/in/dateposted-public/
The full kit made up of aluminium and a rubber/resin/fibre board that will be hydro dipped in a Carbon fibre effect...
https://www.flickr.com/photos/exiledviking/35156230123/in/dateposted-public/
the ally plate is to the road side and is a scuff plate only the small fins four of them will have ally strips on the base road side protection
https://www.flickr.com/photos/exiledviking/35924813386/in/dateposted-public/
one of the four fins the kit still has a long way to go and is only in rough form at the moment still more cutting to do to accommodate the tow hitch and the pull down electrics .....
the kit put together mounts and some rear bumper to cut so this fits its not just for show it will be there with the help for some rear end down force ....
https://www.flickr.com/photos/exiledviking/35126283614/in/dateposted-public/
all the fitting nuts bolts will be done in Orange all but the ally scuff plate will be done in Hydro Dipped Carbon Fibre Effect to see more pics please click on the slide show below ;)
thanks for taking the time to look
Regards tony.c
Still like the quality of your work Tony.
Well done. :13:
Thanks Chris the front end bits are away for finishing that will be the nose cone /bumper done and then this kit will be sent off to have the hydro bits done will post some picks of it mock mounted up just making the mounting brackets for it now and some cutting to be done one the lower old bumper
I have got some hight/reverse/front sensors to fit front and rear with a new screen just cos its all getting a little low now :sign0135: yep another screen I am taking out the crash cameras ??? ??? :icon_scratch: too replace them with another unit that looks and is better than the one I have this will be mounted behind the mirror .... then this screen will be mounted where the camera is now keeping it all tidy ....... ;)

this unit Below at the moment dose not support a rear camera how ever I have an Email back from the supplier that in september this unit will support a unit attachment for a separate cam to the main unit as a completed package so this will replace my old unit
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/Tonyspictures1/detector/fullsizeoutput_a70_zpszzggi1sf.jpeg) (http://s32.photobucket.com/user/Tonyspictures1/media/detector/fullsizeoutput_a70_zpszzggi1sf.jpeg.html)
This Is Only A Mock Up Of the Defuser Fitting......So Made the Mounting brackets today and did a trial Run Of the Rear Defuser still a long way to go but I think there going to be enough rear down force on the lower wings the defuser is not just for show and when completed will be finished of in a Carbon effect hydro Dip....
Also went with the double staggered wing as there is enough air flow for this modding the rear bumper was 4 X 3/4 slots need to be cut but hardly noticeable....!
Thank for taking the time to Look....!
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/Tonyspictures1/Rear%20Defuser%20Mod%202017/fullsizeoutput_a8b_zpssyjiuxnr.jpeg)[/URL
mock up brackets made but some adjustments to be done, all the aluminium to be coated black nuts and bolts also need to be done in Orange .... this is only a Mock up the finished effect will look a little different .
[URL=http://s32.photobucket.com/user/Tonyspictures1/media/Rear%20Defuser%20Mod%202017/fullsizeoutput_a8c_zpspgcgn37k.jpeg.html](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/Tonyspictures1/Rear%20Defuser%20Mod%202017/fullsizeoutput_a8c_zpspgcgn37k.jpeg) (http://s32.photobucket.com/user/Tonyspictures1/media/Rear%20Defuser%20Mod%202017/fullsizeoutput_a8b_zpssyjiuxnr.jpeg.html)
As you can see the Defuser is mostly under the rear bumper & not protruding or extending the length of the body ...Also there no need to have it under the exhausts as they have there own air scoops

Cool...no huffing a puffing...i really want 1 of those car of the week sales ramps you used to see...just drive up it lol. Looked at lifts for the garage and just not enough height...

Thanks guys this is an old mod but Now the controls are from the steering Wheel....
Hi all as some Members already Know I have Hid-away Number Plates that work form Remote Key Fobs so I had two key Fobs for the Front number plate with one of them i got the Idea of using the blank right cover on the steering wheel to house the remote and got hold of a second hand one to modify....also the Idea was to cover both covers left and right in the Carbon fibre effect hydro dip done by Wicked coating's of poole
so in picture form I got to it making the cut outs
(https://image.ibb.co/mVLEK7/IMG_8260_zpso6557k8l.jpg)
once happy with the cut outs then mixed some resin with a blue colour
when the Red led illumination comes on it is very bright so mixing the blue in with the resin this then tones down the lighting and you get a purple/blue/red mixture and is less blinding to the eyes at night

So if you got a gadget on a key fob that needs a home .........Happy Modding :D
Thank you for taking the time to look
Next MOD ......... ;) ;) ;)
Hi back with another Mod build I needed to do this as the ATH hinsburger Front end although its good I needed to have some form of protection and make the front bumper more ridged...... I did not like the look of the splitter type ones you can buy and I need to make mine a three piece project .................
So take some 3.0 mm aluminium plate cut two pieces 120 cm x 25 cm
This allows you to make a curve once cut place the ally on the underside of the front bumper to mark out your mounting holes and make a general shape then its back to the bench for moulding out with a hammer and files ... ;) ;)
(https://image.ibb.co/ebD1Mn/IMG_9502.jpg)
once you got a rough shape the keep offering it up to the front bumper to make sure that you got the look you want I added a few bits of my own see pics for some shaping I used chemical metal bond

(https://image.ibb.co/e5mz7S/IMG_9504_zpsb67tvyjb.jpg)
After your happy with your end result then bolt it up on the bumper to make sure you to canards/splitters look and have the same pitch then it was on to make the centre part this is made from a Ford focus front grill just cut it down and shaped it
(https://image.ibb.co/gzkLE7/fullsizeoutput_f7c.jpg)
Once I had done this I sent all the parts to Wicked Coatings Poole to Cover the parts in Carbon fibre effect hydro Dip

(https://image.ibb.co/ffx6nS/IMG_0205.jpg)
(https://image.ibb.co/ninT1n/fullsizeoutput_f7b.jpg)
The finish touch was to use a thick layer of tiger seal the reason for this if you shape the seal and make it flush it will then stop any grit leafs general road shit getting it and make it easier to clean
Ally cost £55.40
ford focus grill £4.50
tiger seal £ 5.60
Split Rubber seal £ 1.75
Mesh Grill £2.20
Tools and time around 3 hours .......
Gas heat torch
Files
Saw
Rubber hammer
Drill
8mm Drill bit
Very happy this end product is the second set I have made :lol:
Thank You for Taking The Time To Look ;) ;)

Thanks for the feed back chaps :13: :13:
well been working on the side skirt extensions today almost done them just waiting for the aero scoop to come back from wicked coatings its being dipped in carbon effect to blend in with everything else, as these six bits have been hand made from SIDE SKIRTS SPLITTERS (GLOSS BLACK) FOR MAZDA 3 MPS MK1 you will know that there shape/and join lines would not look right being one long part in fact they would never match up hence 3 parts with the mesh allowing the lines to look more aesthetic pleasing

Now sold and new owner has blown it up ripped the electrical mods out and has problems do I help or leave well alone as all the problems he's caused my Partner says keep out of it and leave well alone :16: :16: :16:
What a shame, looked a fine machine, people gave no respect for all the efforts others put in.
If it was me I'd stay away, but I'm wired up that way..... If they had looked after it a bit better and it wasn't their fault, I may be sympathetic
Difficult 1 Tony. Chris is gonna track it as hes a track guy an therefore wants to simplify things and make his own...
