Thanks SikRed. Depends on your definition of "overseas" i suppose...Singapore gets JDM RX8s ..exactly the same as in Nippon..

Hey what who makes those rims and how did you get around the pressure sensors?

errant

kept the factory HID ballast but swapped the bulbs to a 8500k temperature reading- stays blue all the time. Factory 4000k bulbs turn sickly halogen yellow in a minute =)

how much does it cost to swap HID like that?

errant

The wheels are 19" x 8.5 Buddy Club- haven't had any issues with tyre sensors. In fact not even sure if the car has them...
the 8500k HID bulbs cost about US$170 each.

sorry for "blurness" ..i find the bulb in the gear knob a little too bright but the white stitching is cool

how come u can adjust the angle of your HID light? (from the picture of the start button)

I thought we only could adjust the light with normal light bulb, not for the HID light. (said from the manual)

JDM cars have automatic climate control. Stateside we get manual control.:(

Great looking car.
I would call that more than slightly modded. In fact is one of the most done up cars on forum.:)
Amazing.

Thanks cueball..there are more and more parts being available for the car everyday which is great news!

thklam: im not sure because my entire manual is in Japanese..damn..but JDM cars all come with HID i believe. The angle adjustability is to prevent blinding oncoming folk...

The rear looks just like mine. I've got the borla and badges still. Thinking about taking off the badges and have a shop fill/ paint them in.

What size tires (SO3s) are those and what offset did you use on the rims?

errant

04-28-2004, 12:47 PM

Start button is an optional accessory on all models, you can order via Cartronics.
cortc: tyres are 245/35ZR19s

Did the Singapore Police ever stop you in that car? :)
Heard they are really darn strict...

Very nice car, why not go the full package and get the MazdaSpeed spoiler with it too?

Cartronics: +65-64454600, look for kimiko.

himitsu: personally im not a fan of wings- believe that only the rally cars, GTR and supras have the go to warrant the show! Am all for the 'flat' look; although im not indonesian there is a term called "ceper" which refers to ground hugging or sleek cars that are sans wings. Its a different style.. then again all this is personal preference.

What steps did you take, and what products did you use to remove the lettering and the emblems from the car. It looks much cleaner with out all that stuff. Keeps the people guessing what kind of car it is.

errant

rx-8 badge comes off easily, but you're gonna need body putty to fill in the holes left from the other badges, not to mention the respray. hence my suggestion would be to do it at the panel shop.

Nah man... you and I are of the exact same mind! Have you seen Need for Speed's pics of his car? Like yours, but in silver with the UK lip spoiler and graphics. This is definitely what I'm all about...
