okay so i've looked at cars for so very long, and test drove wrx's speed3's and the rx8 kills them all.

im not the richest guy in the world, but i recently lent my dad money, and by my birthday he will pay me back with interest :P i've talked to him about it, and he's all down for a down payment on an rx8

to the point:
08 black rx-8, gt, manual (of course), with red and black interior. (have the order form in hand, just waiting for my birthday jan.2)

what do you guys thing of ^ that rx-8 with a matching mazdaspeed front bumper(with fogs), 5% tint all way around (cept windshield). sand blasted and powder coated gold stock rims, clear corners. rp supercat.
i was going for a very subtle, but mean look and sound.

i need opinions!!!!! :P

oh and i just have to say, i've only very recently registered, but ive been gazing at rx8club forums for a while, and the help people recieve is just amazing. and i've never seen more of a club from any car (compared to wrx and speed3 forums) this place is practically a cult!....(or is it?!?! what's my initiation?):lol2:

oh and is a clear bra worth investing in?

everyone has their own theme for their car. I believe if you do yours right then it will come out looking good. As for the clear bra, it may be a worthy investment if you dont like rock chips. Welcome to the addiction and happy modding.

whatever floats your boat

how old are you?

ah thank you very much! i dont have much experience with car bras, and just wanted to knoow, cause they are expensive.
im turning 18 soon, and this summer will be enrolling in driving school. i want to keep it decently stock for hp mods, cause i want to stay in a certain class for when i start racing. will be my first rotary so i'm doing a lot of research

oh and xdeedubbx, thanks. i now dont want side strakes :P

Um, racing? What kind of racing are you planning to get into when you get out of driving school?

oh and is there like a list i of things i shouldn't get or things i shouldn't do?

i mean i've looked up basically everything on here. premix, turbo, breaking in, maintainence.

im still looking into it, on how i can get on a track and all of that, but for now enroll in a school, once i do all my paperwork, they will help me out with the rest (getting onto a track)

for now, i just want to do showroom stock racing or something of the sort. when i get a few spare tires, i'll get more into drifting, see if i have a talent for it.

clearbra is definitely worth it.

get the $25 ebay one though. it works just as well.

THUG VERSION - I don't have the slightest what that means.

thug version ftw... i meant for the what? lol

a clear bra is a good idea. worth every penny.

i knew i should have waited for the 08' thug models...:uhh:

p.s.- don't be an idiot and try n' race on the street and talk about it here - at that time you won't have to worry about your intiation...

.....!....(or is it?!?! what's my initiation?):lol2:






The initiation?
Glad you asked.

Who wants to inform him of our initiation process?

I like Kane's proposal -

"Go outside and practice falling down....I'll be there shortly."


S

Would Hydrolics be standard on the Thug Version? I still don't get it.

Would Hydrolics be standard on the Thug Version? I still don't get it.

it also comes with 22's and curb feelers

yeah Im gonna do a thug version conversion kit on mine (just need to know what is so "thug" about it) oh and for your questions SEARCH you already know about the search button so it seems just hit it and go............

P.S. Welcome to the addiction/cult......uh I mean addiction!!!!!

Gold rims... well, if that's what you're up for, sure i guess so. The only time i ever saw gold rims look good on a car was a custom painted late model trans am... whatever the final year it was they came out. Anywho, the car was a deep brick red color and had burnished gold rims. looked good but as i said, that had to be the only time i ever saw gold rims and thought it looked good. But hey, maybe you'll pull it off and it'll look great! Pics or BAN!!!

Taj knows a lot about painting cars gold and how awesome it looks.

My personal opinion is that you should save your money for gas. When the dollar becomes worth less then the paper it's printed on in a few months, you'll need several million dollars to fill your tank.

lol thug was a joke.
the rx8, imo looks like a baby fish, its actually kind of cute.
i wanted it to look a bit mean, and thank you for telling me to get the ebay 1, way to save me 300 dollars :P

as for random racing on the streets, im not in some street racing gang, or ever plan to be in one. i do every now and then like to put a loud civic in its place.

^^^ please refrain from 'putting a loud civic in it's place'

please see this thread: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=151603

Please don't race on the street. You don't need to prove that your car is better than a riced-out Civic.

I've known two people who have been killed by street racing. One was a driver and the other an innocent pedestrian (two separate incidents). And I'm not talking about "racing gangs," I'm talking about teenagers trying to show how fast their cars are.

from those stories, these seem like actually street races, not just straight line runs to 60 for fun.
but thank you very much for not being rude about this, i definitely will hold back on illegal street racing.

dude paul walker street races.

why dont u?

No tint, no gold, no clear corners. Everything else is ok.

It's impossible to have "mean look" for rx8, and none of those 3 things does any "mean look" anyway.

Have you looked at the Dodge Charger in the movie Street Kings? Car like that, has a "mean look" already builded in. And would look good with tint, gold, and "clear corner".

could always screw some machine guns to the fenders

OK I'm gonna be rude about it. You are obviously one ignorant motherf**ker, so let me tell you two stories about "straight line runs for fun" that had nothing to do with "actual street races."

When I was in high school we had a two hour break between final exams. A friend of mine decided to do a run against a guy from another school, just goofing off while on break. He lost control and hit a tree, and was decapitated. I didn't find out until I went back for the afternoon exam; the teacher was crying so hard she could hardly hand out the tests.

Many years later, I was working as a techie helping professors get their materials on the Web for online classes. One of the professors I worked with was crossing the street to the parking lot after an evening class and was cut in half by a kid racing another kid on the street. She died on the street. She had gotten married the week before. The kid is in jail now.

Do you really think it makes one f**k's worth of difference if it's an organized street race or just kids jumping to 60 for fun? Actually, an organized underground street race is probably LESS dangerous.

Like all kids, you think it will never happen to you. You think you are in control, you think you can handle it, you think it's no big deal. I hope you don't have to learn a lesson the hard way, but I mostly just hope you don't hurt anyone else. And your parents are absolutely stupid to allow you to have a sports car at your age with your attitude.

u know. a mean look would for u to paint darth vader on ur hood. NOW that woud be mean.


or u could put a big middle finger on it.

OK I'm gonna be rude about it.

i pretty much agree with everything he said. those are some fucked up stories dude.

please do not dick around on the street

ok im ignoring marklar, and you know what, just because of him, i will street race every chance offered upon me, the hell, i live once. i wont brag about it on the forums, thats all.

and if i had to be afraid of a car, it would definitely be a charger


"or u could put a big middle finger on it" LOL i like that idea :P

:rant: Jesus Christ he's telling you for your own good so stop being such an arrogant person and acknowledge safety? You're lucky enough to get a new car, some of us here (like me) are still your age and we can only dream about getting a new car like you.

I don't say this to many people, but I think you are deserving.

DIAF. Preferably before you kill somebody or pass on your genetic pollution.

I swear, reading posts like yours make me more and more in favor of an organized eugenics program.

wow....
thank for all those who have given me ideas and opinions, i appreciate them a lot. as for people ganging up on me. i will definitely try to do illegal street racing as much as possible...just for you guys :) thanks so much.

troll / crossfire.

go home. you have not been ganged up on yet.. enjoy your short time here.

beers :beer:

If I said I liked to kill babies, and everyone told me I was a monster, does that mean I've been "ganged up on"? d!ck.

Closing this thread. always.anthony, perhaps you need to do some reading on this board before you start posting again. And trolling is only going to get you banned, and fast.
