-Cork Sport's Project Mazda RX-8-

The Car: 2004 Mazda Rx8, GT package.

We picked up this car with 9 miles on the odometer. Aside from the $3900 option package the car has no other factory options or modifications.

Modifications Begin:

STEP	DESCRIPTION	PHOTOS
1 8/28/03	CS SWAY BARS INSTALLED We install what will eventually become Cork Sport front and rear sway bars. These decrease ride comfort somewhat while reducing body roll. We are currently testing the sway bar set before we release them to the sales team.	None
2 8/28/03	Mazdaspeed front bumper installed This bumper comes already painted! Notice the two small extensions from the lip. These are painted a glossy grey color. This bumper is easy to install. It takes about 1/2 hour and you'll have all the hardware you need for installation. Wow! This dramatically changes the look of the car. We got the fog light brackets. We will install those at a later date.
3 12/05/03	KVR Cross-drilled Rotors installed Though we have not updated this section in a while we have been actively developing products for our project car. Shown here are cross drilled rotors done by KVR. They look great with the factory rims and improve brakes that are already superb from the factory.
4 12/05/03	CS Power series exhaust installed We installed the prototype Cork Sport Power Series exhaust quite some time ago. It sounds great! It is loud enough to hear but not loud enough to bother us or our neighbors. You can finally here the wonderful sound of the Renesis engine winding to 9000 rpm!
5 12/05/03	CS MS-style Front Bumper Installed. We installed the Cork Sport MS Style front bumper. It fits great. We removed the side markers for improved appearance. Also, we changed the configuration of the grill (not shown here) so that it is mounted to the bumper rather than epoxied as is the norm with fiberglass bumpers.
6 12/15/03	Production version of CS exhaust installed. We installed the production version of the Power series exhaust. The larger dual mufflers have a deep tone which sounds great.
7 3/05/04	Update on CS front bumper. We mounted the grille and grille trim pieces supplied with the CS bumper. Once nice feature of this setup is that the grille can be changed out easily. This is great if you have to replace a damaged grille or simply want a different look.
8 4/01/04	We installed a Mazdaspeed rear spoiler on Project Rx8!	Coming Soon
9 4/30/04	We installed Mazdaspeed Side Skirts Of course, these look great! Installation is tedious but the supplied instructions and templates make perfect fitment a reality.
10	We install CS Brake Lines These improve pedal feel and improve durability over stock rubber brake lines.	Pictures Coming Soon.
