Hello! Here`s my yellow RX-8. I`m from Poland. I have it for one year. It`s car from Lexington (Kentucky). :D

Had a photoshoot for a local mag. I copied the photographers positions and snapped some of them myself using my own digital cam, here is my fav pic:

Hey guys here is a couple of pics of mine. Picked it up in August and just realized I never posted here.

where is the best place to get clear corners, I was thinking about ordering them from rotaryfx.com (http://www.rotaryfx.com) but anyone got any other suggestions?

Can someone tell me how to get big pictures and not just the thumbnails that you have to click on thanks.

I took my RX-8 on it's first road trip. I went down to San Antonio to check out my favorite band, Five Finger Death Punch! Sorry for the pix quality. I'm not the best photographer. It was a f'n awesome show!

12-10-2009, 08:10 PM
yah i just wanted to see how a very consertvative front lip would look so i went cheap first to see the effect. some like it some dont. i was thinking that if i do like it, ill find a more solid piece to actually mold onto the oem air dam. still deciding btw. and those tires are direzza star specs. awesome grip and feel.

whered you get those strakes I WANT!!!

Those are "Fabolous" fender strakes... you can get the originals from japanparts.com if i'm not mistaken... originals are made of carbon fiber material... mine are just a copy, maybe you can order from carboninmotion.com (company in Malaysia)... they are very big and awesome!

The normal strakes were just not working for me anymore :) plus I painted the grill silver to highlight the strakes.

For real? Is there info anywhere on how to do it? If it actually looks good like that, it might save my bumper from a few of those scrapes and scratches.... might be too late for that though, lol.

I had a great track day at a new venue in the UK:

The place is called Blyton Park, and its an old yank bomber base from WWII.
A real car enthusiast has recently renovated it, and laid fresh tarmac into the old tarmac of the runways, t make an entertaining track day circuit (its only for track days, not racing)

I may wait till next year and finish a few other things rather than spending money on tires for only a short while before winter. a 19x10.5 +25 is 23.5 pounds. the carbon face overlays add a bit of weight over non. I believe it is ~2 pounds.

How could you not win best of show? What the hell else was there? You need a nice stat sheet setup for shows man. Did the judges even have any clue how unique your car is with the rear mount, etc.?

bumblebeerx8
09-01-2011, 06:32 PM
a lot of people passed the rear mount up. the only ones who seen it was anyone who had a clue and seen the bov and actually peaked into the engine bay. I plan on getting a mirror for the ground just to catch attention.

the judging was one guy that i seen ,yes only one, and he really did not even look. a lot of people were pissed, i dont think mine was best of show due to the fact of a few cars there but the car that won, yes it was nice but not best of show. the judging was bad imo all around in many classes.

the winner was a old red impala. it was clean but he was beating his system all day. the best neon still had stock rims on and basically threw accessarys know for the neon and some lights. nothing tired together and tacky from what i seen.

thanks Chad. I do have to redo the roof. somhow i have a small section where the resin must have not soaked out all the way and it pulled :icon_no2: ill finish the year off and redo it soon. Working on fiberglass panels for the trunk now.

also the 35% tint on the windshield is the best thing i have ever done. it make it look clean and is awesome to drive behind even at night

How was the fitment? I saw a guy around here with the TT and the fitment looked terrible... didnt actually talk to the owner though, just saw it parked at a mall, coulda been a cheap replica

bumblebeerx8
02-28-2012, 06:59 PM
i had to put a spacer in between the hood and the oem latch. without it it sat too low. other than that it was just adjustment to even up the gaps. I too have seen some bad ones, seibon ones seem the most likely to have the best reliable fitment outside the real thing. Not to say there is not a bad one out there.

i know ive asked you this before but i cant find your post where you answered my question. Where did you order your CF MS wing from ?? How was fitment out of 10 ??

Sorry lol

bumblebeerx8
02-28-2012, 08:55 PM
fitment was off and took some work to get rid of all the gaps. I dont know the the actual maker of the wing though. The resin has faded because of low quality and mounts are fiberglass and not metal so i made some aluminum ones. If it was not carbon and what i really wanted it would have went in the dumpster.I believe there are a few carbon replicas out there but i can not speak for any of them. replicas are hit or miss on fitment and quality.

haha thanks Dean..... No clue about coming back to Winnipeg this summer yet as I'm graduating at the end of April; then taking off to Egypt for 3 weeks then 3 weeks of touring around Asia/Europe where ever my little bro and I end up. Gonna be a sweet summer but won't get much done to the car as I'm starting my full time Job August 1st too.

As far as that girl goes I don't remember what her name was anymore and she was telling me to come to some bar because she worked at the front collecting cover; said we could come for free. I think the bar was called Area Nightclub or something like that maybe? All I remember from it was that it was a club located just off one of the main drags in Peg and there was alot of 18 year old kids there... probably some even younger haha



Also Bumblebee, I was never a huge fan of the C-West front but seeing it on a LY has definitely opened my eyes... loving it

Whats up Rotor heads.. I Am the owner of a yellow 8 and I am "going thru it" picking paint schemes... I wanted to get a differnt take on two tone black and yellow.. I have seen some pretty interesting paint jobs, but alot of them are very very similar. im trying to do something unique. This is one of the reasons I chose the wheels that I did. For those curious about the wheels, I put 20in "status grinder s815" wheels and the tires are 245/30/20.. I am debating on keeping the color solid yellow or to go with some kind of paint scheme. s/n I will be putting a 1 of kind body kit on when it get painted... Thank you for your input

That's pretty harsh :( ...this is pretty much my first And furthest I will have gone with a vehicle project.. I was going for a unique head turner, I wasn't looking to get "the same Ol' wheels" that everyone else seems to have.. From what I was told, this particular kit just came out.. I have seen similar but haven't Come across this particular one exactly.. I was hoping, possibally, for some positive inspiration for my 8 project.. But I Guess that's a much to ask for? ... Thinking about sporting these wheels this year and switching it up next season ...


I believe it is an "extreme dimensions" kit..

Just being honest man, those rims and that kit are the worst ever. Search for thread title, "extreme dimension" and you will see what I mean. Take notes from some (namely bumblebeerx8) of the LY's in this thread. The LY has been around for 8 years, there is not much you could even thing of doing that someone else has not already done.

Honestly I like the ideas for the rims. Definitely not something you see everyday and that's a plus in my book. I'd say keep the black center on there with the yellow it really stands out! I say props to anyone who is that passionate about their car and puts that much effort into making it unique. Even if the body kit isn't "one of a kind" who cares it's gonna look amazing on your LY. Keep up the modding buddy and can't wait to see pics of it done.

I'm not groovin' on the direction here. I know you're trying to do something different and I applaud that, but the bumblebee look on the LY is played out more than anything. With the lone exception of bumblebeerx8, I don't like any other black on yellow combo out there.

If you've got the cash, a lot can be done to a LY - besides the same ol' same ol'.
