Team Chihuahua 1UZFE RX8 (Daily Driver)

[Kruizer]

Gona be cool Brendan .. U love the projects ya do and u also love driven all round the country ��

Ya the driving is a pain, if only I could get paid for it

Very clean car as is will be class to see it with the new set up. Best of luck with it

Thanks Jamie, she has a few marks but nothing major thankfully...

Gonna highlight this because they don't get enough praise that they should. There work is awesome quality with no if's or but's, you don't get the bare minimum, you get what you ask for and that little bit more all round.

Your a mad man for the builds in all fairness im looking forward to seeing this being built. Im also looking forward to seeing them all try fit in your driveway

I'll have to fit a stacker system in the garage LoL

Your a mad man

Be cool enough tho, if I was you I'd go for a vvti. You can buy an immobiliser bypass box from Australia

Did you look into getting all the guages working?

Engine is already there, may as well use it I may take the easy way out and go for a dash unit altogether, save the grief mate, have you decided on an engine for yours ?

[liamcrowley]

Ahh right dash unit be handy out.
Yup going turbo 13b, engine sorted and all.

Well don't forget you have to swap steering racks too, RX8 is electric and the RX7 isn't. Also the throttle is different setup up and the canabus (spelling) wiring harness is a pain in the arse...What box you going with ? Is yours a 231 or 192 model ?(Tis on the door anyways and the 192's only have a 5speed)

[Simon]

this will 100% get coil overs and wheels... why wouldn't ya like? nothing stupid just smart wheels and nicely lowered.

Ya I know you have to change the subframe, I need to get a 6 speed box and diff, mines a 190. Tbh I thought the wiring was easy.
Il make it work dont you worry!

No fear of ya ;-) if ya can get the fd3s box, much stronger, 231 6speeds aren't great or you could go for the fc3s turbo box which is stronger again... Either way I know you'll make a great job of it looking forward to starting this one

When you say dash unit what do you mean . I'm a huge fan of the 1uz it's a beast . There are a couple of companies who make the bellhouse to fit the sr20 box or the more commonly used r154 or w56 might be cheaper. Can't wait to see this build

[cobcorsa]

Btw I don't mean the r154 or w56 are cheaper I mean buying a adapter kit might
