We went to WBM this weekend with EFI Logics. The event had a great turnout, tons of cool cars, and a total of three 818's representing. Bug got a lot of attention and many people thought the flares were part of the kit not DIY - that's a complement to our (mostly Andrew's) body work skills!
Couldn't see the car most of the day:
Closer up view of the flares/wrap the morning before we left. These flares fit 18x11 and up to a 335 tire size:
We hope to get the 818 out racing again this month now that the body work is done enough, for now
Once again, can't say enough good things about EFI. It's awesome that they not only do tuning and mechanical work, but the entire team actually races (mostly Spec Miata) so it gives them all a true appreciation for people who really want to drive their cars. They are just outside of Danbury, CT.

First autocross in the car in WAY too long. 315's in the rear, 275's up front. Took 10th raw out of 150 drivers, and if I wouldn't have coned this run I would have been 4th overall. Still need to dial in the setup but OMG this car goes in a straight line. Took passengers every run - greatest part was hearing the giggles and some small screams

Been awhile since our last post. We made some minor improvements to the car this year, the primary of which was a custom bump steer kit. The car drives so much better on the street now, and the front end also felt significantly better at our autox yesterday.
Ended up fastest raw time at NNJR SCCA by almost 8 tenths of a second (FTD!!). The car was an absolute riot to drive! We were on some pretty old front tires, so we are going to pick up some fresh ones (hopefully) before the event we are planning on next weekend. Hoping to get the car out at a bunch of events this fall now that we are done campaigning the RX8 for the season.

hahahahahahahha, I had to check my youtube player speed. The way it looks when you accelerate is the same way it looks when I play other videos at 1.5 speed. Great job!!
Front or rear?
If rear, can you share? I haven't seen any custom rear kit or maybe none are required, I don't know.
