Great update.
 
Thanks for the feedback on the shifter. Pretty sure there would have been a few people looking at it. What was the issue with it? 
 
 

It really just doesn't give the right feel to justify the price tag. Even after I adjusted it about 10 times to the point where it does get 100% engagement both forwards and backwards it still fails to engage like OEM at high rpm. My main issue was the same as everyone else with the standard style shifter that 3rd downshift to 2nd was pretty trash. Sometimes it feels like you're banging the gears really well but it really just isn't working out. I'm going to stick it out for a bit longer and see if I can get it to play ball but safe to say I'm over buying products from Hux Racing. 

I should also note the Hux Racing Rx8 rear bbk kit comes incomplete and will not work with a OEM Rx8 323mm rotor without a rotor centering ring that they fail to provide in the complete kit. That and the kit doesn't even come with the socket head hardware required to fit them properly. I had the kit done then had to remove it and buy new OEM rotors to get the car actually moving again.  

Soooo I had a solid think and realised I was pretty much giving this away for the sale price I eventually listed.
 
At that moment I changed my mind as I really do like this car but its pretty meh now that I have this:
(I was trying to avoid showing on my fs ads but i'll happily show here)
 

 

 
But well... I started to spend money on the Mr2 again. lol
 
I sold a lot of the more 'race' orientated parts. This time I rebuild it i'm going for a more street theme.
 
I have already purchased new BC RM coils as the car is no longer garaged due to the FD so I don't have the space/time to get the Bilsteins rebuilt and the dollar sucks so they'll have to do.
I have a Greddy lip, Rev5 wing, Border skirts, Poon selected mirrors, The Finest Autoworks front flares & The One Part rear flares all coming in the mail. The whole cars getting painted some blue colour again.
I'll install the full Cusco roll cage, some new wheels with 17/18 stagger, center exit dual exhaust. Then maybe 2gr swap...
 
I hope you enjoyed the rant. This cars going to be sick!

Honestly that is so good to hear. I hated seeing your for sale ads on fb getting cheaper and cheaper, was def worth more so im very glad you've decided to keep it. 

I have some stuff happening...
 

 

 

 
Still waiting on Bomex mirrors, rev 3 wing extension and I bought a frp boot with a slight lip too. I have decided on a colour as well, I'm pretty darn excited. I wish I had a cool front bar but this'll do, it is genuine Greddy.

Oh and the maybe 2gr swap? Well I got a 2gr lol 

Go for the 2GR conversion. Its the right way to go.

Only if you want to be reliable though slow 😋🤣😍
I do joke about this topic a lot, though they are seriously a great option for a street car. Lots of grunt!

All of those body pieces look like factory. fantastic looking car.

I love a wingless SW20

I hate wingless SW20's. The car now has a ducktail boot with wing lol.
 
Slowly piecing it together no photos worth showing, just lots of sanding. Kit is fully mounted with nutserts now.
