RX-8's are so SEXY!

nice shots, I've been trying to find radio controlled rx8s. What kind are those? :)

damn, very very nice.

Your Volk GT-V are really nice. What size are those? 18x9 with a 37 offset?

We need to do more drives and pictures in better locations.

Accross the golden gate bridge or maybe we can go to the Metreon, watch an Imax movie sometime and take pictures on the top floor of the parking structure across the street with the city as background

Thanks man, it was great meeting you too. Good times, where do you host your pics?

bombass cars!
man cant wait till i get my MS kit :D!
nice car man! and your gfs car is cleann

^The MS kit will look super sweet with your wheels!

:) ^ by the way, are you dropped? cuz im thinking to put back stock springs unfortunately, im already feeling too low so times considering i am driving daily (freeway and local) i hate those bumps on the road, those you cant avoid when youre going only approximately 40mph... anyhow, your car looks very good and it doesn't look too low .

^after I got my coilovers I decided to not drop it a whole lot for exactly the same reasons.

awesome! so you understand what i mean :D hahah

the Speed3 is just so sick !! omg, nice car''

very sexy.....that ms3 looks mean too!

Great pics...love the minature versions

awesome! so you understand what i mean :D hahah

what wheels do you have? where did you get them?

Speed 3 FTW.

Thanks to all of you for the compliments. The Speed3 sure turns heads, I love watching it in motions at dusk and at night. The way if reflects light, the ways the wheels turn and its hunkered down presence makes me love it even more.

what wheels do you have? where did you get them?Volks TE37's you can PM Rishie (Endless Rotaries) int he vendor sections of the forum. He's a whole seller for Volks.
Great pics...love the minature versionsWhat about this one?:lol:

Does he help increase horsepower in there?

He's in charge of keeping the bugs and the small rocks off the filter to help with airflow. :lol2:

It's like a Where's Waldo!

How many mini-8's can you find?

I wish more of my engine was blue... Gotta get my intake arm blue anodized sometime next year.

^paint all your covers blue and your intake.

The intake is gonna get anodized after I get my smartcar and can have my 8 out of commision for a few days.

My engine bay didn't seem that dirty at the car show...

^Thanks guys, and to answer the previous question. I don't stand a chance against my GF's MS3 haha:cussing:

You should be able to keep up til around 3rd gear. Then you can forget it. 3rd in the Speed3 is money.

You're also gonna have to have a killer launch.


*I'm assuming she's stock.

The pictures came out good. It was a nice evening that sunday. Glad to meet some of the Bay Area 8's!

I like the wheels on your car, and the wheels on "David's" as wheel, are they BBS LM's? What kind of a suspension setup does your car have?

Yeah, we're thinking of eventually getting one with a bigger core or maybe going with a front mount intercooler.

BTW, didn't know she was modded. You're right. You don't have a chance.
