  • Here's how I turned my cheap Mazda RX-8 into a time attack, track day car. It's reliable, slow and tons of fun!
    Edit* I've grown tired of this car and this is not a car channel, but I have a bunch of new parts, should I keep building it or sell it?

    Regarding the video's description, if you continue building it and the videos stay at this quality (a little longer would probably help too), I don't know how your channel wouldn't grow precipitously. This is fun stuff. Keep it up, and this might actually become a car channel.

      Thank you! although I don't want it to be just a car channel haha but it should be fun, documenting my entrepreneurial journey as I scale my business, but also just fun stuff I do such as the jeep I just bought yesterday! I appreciate the kind comment!

      When did you do this track day? Was this from the summer? The weather hasn’t been great over the last few months.

    My guy, I know you aren't new to this by any means, but I hope in the future you wear gloves. The amount of times I have sliced my hands wide open and wished I had gloves on at this point in my life is unquantifiable. Godspeed.

    Ive always wanted to run a chopped bumper its got mad 00s JDM vibes from the honda days. and the rear end of the car can take it. be careful with aero balance with that diffuser and not having any front treatment. if you havent consider moving the battery behind the passenger seat, and running the AEM intake. it frees up alotta space above the radiator to help extract heat. it look slike you are running a decently wide tire and yes those shock are way under damped for car control. do springs and shocks first then dial in balance with sway bars. not the other way around. keep up the progress. its high time the rx8 gets some love and im seeing it more and more on youtube. If you havent start premixing oil, look at ditching the cat, sohn adapter and the S2 oil coolers are a direct upgrade.

    you forgot no drag Inducing rear bumper in your thumbnail... easier to go faster when the rear bumper is missing all the parts that grab air....when speed holes aren't enough, cut the OE bumper to where it can never be put back to stock...

      haha true the rear bumper is a sail! although a new one could be put back on to go back to stock, I'm not too worried about going back to stock! thanks for watching!
