I just recieved the word that my MazdaSpeed Kit is in right now!
Evolution Autosports and D&V Autobody will be working on it tonight in preperation for the Hot Import Nights event on Saturday. My Volk GT-7's will also be on tonight. I cant wait!!!:D I will post pics later on tonight!

good news

I guess that of the 65 views nobody really gives a sh*t about this thread....:D LOL Is it because nobody believes me?:D Or is it that I am not the popular one here on the board?:)

I care post pics soon

and no one else believes you

Hahaha:p Im glad you care! I just thought I would share a positive experience here just because everything here on this board is all about the HP issues...the negative stuff. TMO.:( I will have pics within 2 hours for everyone to see. Im at work and Evolution and D&V autobody are giving me the play by play details. The front bumper is on and they said it was very easy to do. Next is the side skirts and then the rear diffuser. No spoiler because im not that much of a fan of the big spoilers. Thats all I have at this moment. I will be back with more info around 10pm eastern time.


Thanks mikeb for keeping the faith. :)

Im not trying to hijack my own thread but mikeb....you have a nice sub setup back there!:D

The engine is still stock...Im waiting to see what will come out for FI bolt-ons.:D

Car looks awesome!!! Does the MazdaSpeed body kit already come painted to your cars specific color or do you need to have it painted by a body shop and then put on? Thanks in advance for your help.

Also what is the cost for kit plus install?

Hey, where is the mazdaspeed spoiler? You don't like it? Are you going to intall that too? The volks look nice on rx8, sweet!!! :D

You do have to specify the paint code when you order it because it does come pre-painted. The install was done by D&V Autobody but there was no charge because they are sponsoring my car. We ordered the kit 3 weeks ago and thanks to Evolution, they pulled money out of there own pockets to have it shipped faster in order to have it here first and ready for HIN tom. I have now lost track of how much this kit cost overall.:eek:

Don't do it! It looks perfect as is. This is my favorite body config for the 8 so far. MS sideskirts and nose, and 1-2 inch drop (also with eyebrows). Very sinister looking. The wing adds apparent height to the image, and in my opinion doesn't look as slick. I say this, because you seem to prefer this also, and I'd hate for you to add a wing if you don't even care for it.

Beautiful job ninedeep!

- Is it Silver or Titanium?
- How much does it cost? Can you please list all the components of the kit? Are the wheels part of it or seperate?
- Is it dropped or regular height?


EDIT:
OK, saw your sig. So it is Titanium, with 19" volks not part of the kit.

wow..thats pretty clean...is your ride still at stock height? or did you lower it??details please!

Where will you install the front plates ???

man, that is sick bro... i know like 10 people said this, but what was the total cost ??? would look good in white

if not wrong, those volks are the latest GT7, ordered them for myself as well, my rims are already here but still at the ports pending custom clearing for almost a week now, heard that they are really strict nowadays due to recent bombing around the world

looking at those pictures, I know now that I had not made the wrong decision!!!! cant wait to get my hands on them now.

A little taste of his car getting ready for HIN. ;) Much props ninedeep! ;)

This car is....SICK!

mannnn thats soooo shiney!

I love it!

Look at the pics; that guy in the tan shirt is the the rx willy-style witnessing history in the making.


The car is hot, the body kit comes two-toned, and the wheels look a lot better in person. Even though the car looks hot in the pics, like the original, they do not do the car it's justice. I believe this is the hottest car I may have ever seen in person.

Next step will be lowering the car, (according to the owner) to put the final bling bling on it.

If you want to see it it will be at the car show in baltimore today. 9.5.03.

hey i commend u on a really nice car, i was wondering what happens to the fog light when the kit is on? and what r the specs. on the wheels, i love them great job

I read previously that there is a new mounting bracket included with the bumper cover, but they have chosen to not install it here.

Yeah, the fogs are gone. And no front tag bracket!

Gorgeous! Nice job with the wheel and kit choice!

Can you enlighten us on the size and offset of the front and rear GT7s?

19x? +35?

Thanks!

You have to get the spoiler it is so cool!! I think it is the best part of the package.

I hope I dont leave any questions out but I will try to answer them all.....

The cost of the kit was somewhere in the 5k range. Like I said before I lost track after all of the shipping fees that we added on to get it here faster.

There are preset holes in the bumper, up under the lip, right infront of the grill for the front tag. I hate front tags!!!!!!!Virginia sucks with that law!!!!:mad:

The offset on the wheels are 46 in the front 36 in the rear.

Sorry if I left any body out!

Where is the front Mazda emblem ?

There is no Mazda logo on the front.....If somebody wants one there, they are gonna have to measure it and tap the holes themselves:eek: I dont know if i am gonna do that just yet.

If someone is considering an RX8 Grand Touring with Appearance package (approx $) BUT is also interested in the Mazdaspeed kit (cost approx $5000) ...... dont wanna pay toooo much .... you got two options:


Option #1:
--------------
RX8 Grand Touring with appearance package
= $32,070

Option #2:
--------------
RX Sport Package + Mazdaspeed kit
= $28,300 + $5000
= $33,300
(also, at the cost of not having leather seats, Bose, Homelink, moonroof)


Which would you choose?

Personally I chose the 1GT package. I left my convertable for this so I had to atleast have a moonroof and ofcourse leather.

yeah, i would prefer the GT, just skip the appearance stuff, save a G or two, and spend a litlte more for the kit... the touring at the very least to grab the sunroof

hey awesome car!

there's gonna be a little Mazda g2g at Burke Lake Park this saturday 9/13, care to drop by and wow the crowd??? :D

ZoomZoomH,

What is "Mazda g2g"? What time on Saturday?

http://forum.protegemp3.com/vbb222/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28922

yes this WAS a Protege meet, but I'm gonna bring my RX-7 to the meet, and there'll be a couple Miatas there as well, so we might as well have a few 8's to complete the lineup ;)

we may even go out for a drive afterward!

I might try to come, however I have to work that day and if I show up it might only be for about 30 minutes. I will let you know.

Ninedeep, what was your car polished with in the picture for a show. That is an incredibly deep shine.

what brand of rims and style are those rims. they're beautiful considering buying some :D

The wheels are Volk GT-7's

Here are some more pics from HIN. These pics came from
www.dynamicfusion.org

I have more pics and will post them as I get them developed.

it seems 2 be getting better n better in every pic

Here is a pic of the wheels upclose.


I am going to place the order for my new suspension kit today, so it will soon be lowered! :D

:)

Here are some more from

www.carandmodel.com

:)

what kind of suspension kit and how much will it cost

I am going to go with Tein but we have no price yet. If its anything like what my S2000 had, it will probably be somewhere close to $2,000.

thanks, please continue to post pics with new mods

What size rim is on the front and the back.

I am guessing 8.5" on the front and 9" on the back?

If you could read off the tire size that would be helpful as well. It looks like 245's or 255's on the rear.

I am also assuming that you don't have any rubbing. Did you have to "tuck your fenders" to do that?

Thanks, in advance.

-Mr. Wigggles

The rear is 9 1/2 and the tire size is 275 in the rear. The front is 8 1/2 and the tire size is 235.

Most likley we will roll the fenders after the suspension is on.
I looked at the fenders and they seem like it wouldnt be to much of a hassle to do that.

Here are some more pics that where takin yesterday in the daytime.

http://www.evolutionautosports.com/rx8ryan.htm

Your 8 looks really good and the daytime pics are awesome

by the way where are you ordering all these parts from like the tein suspension, ms pillars, mirrors etc

yes...basically those are the mods that will be done next. I placed the order for the exhaust and carbon fiber covers today but I will wait a few weeks to place the order for the other parts. Im doing this in baby steps!;)lol

where are you or who are you buying all these parts from

I get them from Evolution Autosports. If you want to contact them you can check out there website or contact them at 703-961-9090.

thanks

Sweet ride !
