Just came in to say hi to the purple rx8 (3**3) on ECP last night (around 7 plus) and wondering if you are from this forum. I'm the red tuscani tailing behind you along ECP.

You overtook me at aye towards ecp and was playing catchup with you all the way. Must say that you had a very nice colour and kit on your car. (is that the new colour for rx8?) Your exhaust note sounds very different from the other rx8 i had seen and must say u are darn fast, no chance for me to catch up to say hi.)

Nice ride and see you soon on the road. :ylsuper:

Kudos to you bro.

This is what it should be all about, a friendly race and a thumbs up after with none of the hissy fit / macho bullshit.

Purple is not one of the stock 8 colors as far as I'm aware.

It would be interesting to know if you were able to tail an AT 8 or an MT 8.

It would also be interesting to test my car out against one of the JB turbocharged Tuscani's - I heard they are pretty quick.

Also curious - have you done anything to your car at all?

Anyway welcome to our forums!

Hey guys, u friendly bunch of people.

My car is pretty stock and only done up with an after-market exhaust.

I'm not sure if that is a AT or MT but would think it's a MT as i had tried my car with a friend's AT rx8 and the gap isn't that far. I wasn't even close to the purple rx8 until he got blocked by the traffic. The differences is quite significant when he pulled away from me and the exhaust note were sweet and unique.

Cheers

Did not know that they offered the Shinka package here in Singapore. Thought that was a North American version?

But yeah Axxel - the MT 8 is a lot quicker than the AT versions ;)

dun dispute. Its not a Shinka. Car colour was resprayed to purple recently to get rid of bad luck. One of the more famous car in spore as car was overly exposed recently.

Its a 4AT type E. Exhast has the sweetest sounding note. That's another giveaway to who this rider is.

Til date, he shld be one of the fastest 4AT, NA, rx8.

Hi Low rider, quite a surprise to know yours is actually a AT. You must have done it up quite abit to be there.

Cheers and take care.
