Indeed. It needs some detailing though, but the car is complete mechanically and the ride quality is as good as new. You can watch the video on my Instagram

Watch her till the rx8 is done. I'll be going to Lahore on Friday Insha'Allah so there will be lots of updates regarding the rx8.

Could you share the cost for sourcing the engine and tranny? would love to see the car in person when it's near to completion. I own a 1gfe swapped rx8 myself and was inclined on a more powerful yet daily driver setup. Is your EPS setup intact or would that be swapped for a hydraulic drive?

Black one with chrome rims?

majamis (majamis) 2018-06-08 03:17:44 +0500 #152

your probably confusing it with someone else, https://www.pakwheels.com/used-cars/mazda-rx-8-2003-for-sale-in-lahore-1118134 is the one though the post is really old probably from the first owner

I just got back to Islamabad. The car's engine has been assembled but the setup was NOT AT ALL looking anything near clean, probably because they promised to give back the car before Eid and they did everything in a rush. The radiator foundations weren't looking new, so I've asked him to take the setup out and reassemble it properly and make the new foundations for the radiator so that everything in the car is new, since that's what I'm paying for.

The body work hasn't started yet because the denter has got some price issues. These guys never stick to their words, since Eid is around, they're charging 1.5x the actual rate they gave. Totally unsatisfied with the work till now.

Lol, no bro. I've updated the thread.

You can PM me for the cost, btw the EPS is working. I'll never go for a hydraulic setup especially when the wheels are this big, I blew my civic's steering kit twice because I had 17's installed. Also, I own a CIVIC EK 2000

Thanks for sharing your feed back for mactec, I was hoping they won't be like others but then again you can't expect quality work out of these folks.

This was the output after some major references, I'm in pakwheels myself & he knew that I know many of his clients personally, he took the entire amount as advance since according to him, gaari me mazeed kaam niklengy to uske paise baad me lelega. But its fine, I've got a friend who will keep checking the car for me on daily basis.
