congrats!
wow modding already i see

 

Congrats. Happy modding! Looks like you got a good start.

 

welcome to the world of Torque... LOL

 

Congrats on your new ride...

 

haha true story! i loved the mazda it could handle any corner. it just didnt have the torque like the g35 does but it had the hp.

i was doing some research on tuning and hear it either Turboxs utec, Cobb Tuning, or Osiris
any thoughts?
i will be posting videos soon!

 

^SEARCH TTRANK..hes has the sickest 1st Gen sedan in the world..TWINTURBO

 

I went w/the Technosquare re-flash+tune, since i'm in SoCal. i don't think Cobb can work w/the older sedans yet. i don't think you'll need utec, unless you plan on going FI(Turbo or Superharged ect...). i do hear great things about uprev/osiris though. i have A LOT of NA bolt on's, you can click the link in my signature for ideas...

 

^thanks
im eventually wanting to go FI i will prolly go with a vortech procharger setup.

 

hello, fellow 8 owner, I just traded my 05 rx8 for my g35 too!! haha

 

Congrats.

I just made the jump myself trading in my '03 Mustang GT 5-spd for my G35 sedan.

It's been almost 3 weeks, and i do miss shifting gears and miss the torque of the v8. Other than that i've forgotten about my old car


I've still got another 5-spd Mustang though...so i'll get my fix come summertime

 

i live in Glendale Heights Chicago so it wouldnt really work out ha
but if i get the uprev/ osiris is it a piggy back or programer?
and at the bottom of the cobbtuning under power of the g35 it gives you the part number for the older g35's my buddy had cobbtuning on his Subaru legacy it was really nice.

ya my buddy used to have a 350z and had that hks twin power ignition and was wondering if you like it and noticed anygains. now my buddys got a IS-F:


now thats one fast *** 4door!

 

how was driving a rx8 in chicago winters and etc?

and did you have any of the horror story problems with the car?

if that car gets under 10k in the next year or 1.5 year i might grab one.... same MPG as the G if not worst...

 

very true, I had a Velocity Red Rx-8 that I also sold and got a G coupe in it's place.

 

i got the rx8 in april and just traded it. but i previously had a cobalt ss/sc
and i loved the mazda it was a quick car. i didnt have anyproblems the reason why people have problems with the rotarys is because you have to mantain them. check oil level often and check fluids the rotorys like to use oil to keep the apex seals wet. i wouldnt by a rx8 with more than 60,000miles on it they usually dont last that long maybe 80,000 miles or so.
i had plans of doing a 20b swap.
feel free to pm if you want to no anything about the rx8's. i no a decent amount about cars i am currently a student at Universal Technical Institute.

one thing i dont miss about the mazda is the MPG it had horrible gas meilge and the gearing sucked too at about 65-70 your at about 4200rpm in 6th.
