View Full Version : Lurker girl turned poster, hi everyone
06Rx8GrL 01-13-2010, 01:40 PM My boyfriend and I purchased my RX8 during the first week of december and I've been a lurker ever since.
Its an 06 white auto appears to be a base model (16 inch wheels, non bose stereo, cloth seats, no spoiler, no side skirts)
Got it for 15,8xx + ttl with 14k miles.
Can't decide what I want to do first, rims....intake, exhaust or a new stereo. :)
Easy_E1 01-13-2010, 01:43 PM Lower the car. Put some 18" rims and tires on it. AEM Cold Air Intake is the best for the RX8. Pick a catback exhaust you like the sound of.
Don't worry about the stereo. It's not that bad. Unless of course you want to spend the money.
Oh and WELCOME! Pics would be nice too.

Welcome
kersh4w 01-13-2010, 01:47 PM buy better looking rims and give me 2 of your 16s.
where are you guys from?
and i didnt know 06s bases came with 16" rims... i thought that was 04 and 05? what is your car rated at? 197hp or 212hp? or put it this way, is it a 4 speed or a 6 speed?
The Reverend 01-13-2010, 01:48 PM Welcome! Take good care of her!
fuztupnz 01-13-2010, 01:50 PM Welcome. Nice low mileage find.
Start checking the for sale section for rims first.

It will be a 6 speed AT and a 6 port engine. And yes they came with 16" rims.
kersh4w 01-13-2010, 01:52 PM did not know that. thought 16" rims were strictly 04-05.
did they carry that all the way to 08?
nikkdizzle 01-13-2010, 03:05 PM a agree with easy!
drop, get some nice 18' wheels then intake or catback but for sure switch out thos awful 16' wheels!
CTrx8 01-13-2010, 03:08 PM forget spending the money on wheels and CAI. use the money for some bikinis, heels, a good camera, and....oh wait...:suspect:
tubingchamp 01-13-2010, 03:09 PM forget spending the money on wheels and CAI. use the money for some bikinis, heels, and a camera to take pics of yourself with so you can post them!

CarAndDriver 01-13-2010, 03:30 PM Welcome pics please. Get rid of those 16" rims ASAP.

The "Leg Humpers" are mostly harmless. Go ahead and post photos. Some couples have fun with it.

Bigbacon 01-13-2010, 04:41 PM get stiffer sway bars. look at the for sale sections, you can usually find very cheap sets of OEM 18in wheels.
craigslist another good place to look for good deals on 18s
RxMadness 01-15-2010, 09:21 PM San Diego
then you'll find plenty of the stuff you want for sale locally.
Congrats on picking the right color and welcome. :wavey:
RotaryP7 01-15-2010, 09:28 PM Yea, first get some 18" OEM rims.. You can find them at $300-$500 for the whole set on the FS section.

The dealership put brand new tires on the 16" rims....so we were going to wait till the tread wore down before upgrading.
But thanks for the suggestion. ;)

Atilla 01-16-2010, 10:48 PM Leg Humper checkin' in :patriot:
Definitely spend some lurking the suspension and wheel forums. Not sure if you're into modding yet but cosmetic upgrades are always fun for starters :)
If you're more serious, definitely invest some time researching the cobb ap and it's benefits
Also, since you're in cali - be sure to check the local sections for meets :D: - socal beach cruise is set to be starting in May this year :cool: hosted by yours truly :smoker:
anyways - happy revvin'!!
p.s. - post sexy pictures of yourself or you don't exist.... :suspect:
