f1fan12 10-08-2009, 11:23 AM 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.
CARBONRX-8 10-23-2009, 06:46 PM 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!

rodjonathan 12-10-2009, 10:27 AM love the look of your car and those tires look good too...
altspace 12-10-2009, 02:59 PM Nice, but not sure on the Mazdaspeed badge. And is that a Home Depot lip on the front?
^ +1
The mod done to the lip doesn't flow with the rest of the cars features
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.
altspace 12-11-2009, 06:52 AM My buddy tracks on star specs. Killer tires for sure. Good choice.
I've got s.Drives on mine.

Looks fast. Cheers on the unique styling and the feed bumper.
rodjonathan 05-02-2010, 02:07 PM whered you get those strakes I WANT!!!
zellspeed 05-03-2010, 12:52 AM 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.
HomicidalApple 05-03-2010, 03:30 AM zell: while your car is not at all anything i would ever do to mine i do have to applaud your individuality and creativity. =]

rodjonathan 09-04-2010, 01:35 AM yup im pretty sure thats exactly what it is
3DZukini 09-04-2010, 08:54 AM that's the Home Depot Lip, boys... garage weatherstripping :cool:
yup im pretty sure thats exactly what it is
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.

bkcraun 01-21-2011, 03:33 PM So you know those cute little model cars Mazda sent the orginal owners of their new cars? Guess who has one in yellow, in the original case, and with the original certificate of authenticity? :wiggle: I'm thinking of e-Baying it to see what it's worth. Any guesses on what I get for it? Should I just sell it to one of you peeps instead?

applepwnz 01-28-2011, 09:57 PM Hiya, I've been reading here since I got my 8 ('04 AT, wouldn't have it any other way) funny story, when I went to test drive her, the dealer said "Do you like the car because of the color or in spite of it" at the time, I said "in spite of it" but after a couple of weeks, it's definitely because of it!

canaryrx8 05-16-2011, 10:58 PM Your car would look 1000 times better with some sideskirts, I didn't think yellow brakes would work on a yellow car but I was wrong, they look pretty bad ass actually. nice ride, you're off to a great start :)
luv4eternity 05-17-2011, 02:54 AM your brakes looks sweet...where did u get them from ?
superhypered 05-17-2011, 03:04 AM after further inspection... you only have the yellow brakes on the front? or is that a before and after pic? still nice imo
california style 05-17-2011, 04:40 AM Hi Super...
Yes its a front BBK. The rears are stock callipers painted black, as I dont think they are much to shout about!
superhypered 05-17-2011, 12:51 PM Oh haha, thanks for clearing that up :) So, next mod on your list... Rear BBK? :)
california style 05-17-2011, 01:06 PM not really, unless I think I need one........
Next is run everything in, and do more driving and tracking...
Also I have some semi slicks for my old wheels so i will be trying them out on track...

california style 08-07-2011, 05:13 PM Some nice new pics taken by pros from my track day at the weekend:
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)
http://www.blytonpark.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/blyton.jpg
Car went very well, and I am now focussing on cooling etc so I can bash in more laps without getting paranoid about overheating etc..... :)
Also will add some cool pics from Xteme photo here too:

california style 08-31-2011, 08:30 AM dude, I think I'm gonna need some eyelids!
RotaryMachineRx 08-31-2011, 09:54 AM wow bumblebee that looks great..... I like that C-West with the fogs in it, have only seen it with the empty squares before. I didn't notice and intercooler in those pics.... is it V-mounted and just hard to see or are you running without with that rear mount?
RotaryMachineRx 08-31-2011, 09:55 AM I'm also curious if anyone has a pic with some gunmetal rims on their LY rather than Matte black..... I have been contemplating what color of wheels I want for soooo long and cannot make up my mind. I think right now I'm stuck on bronze if a sweet gunmetal pic doesnt throw me off haha
bumblebeerx8 08-31-2011, 12:16 PM my old rims were Gunmetal. ill send you some pictures. the intercooler is v mount and blacked out on most of it for the stealth look. the rims there are mirror black and very glossy. I prefer the black rims over the Gunmetal now I have all the carbon.
RotaryMachineRx 08-31-2011, 02:24 PM Thanks, that'd be great man, Actually if you have some more HI-res photos that have some good shots of your current wheels also that'd be sweet too. I'd have to say picking out wheels has got to be the hardest part of modding a car :lol:

RotaryMachineRx 09-01-2011, 08:48 AM oh shit man..... those 360's could not be cheap, when are they goin on the car? what is the weight of one of those?
bumblebeerx8 09-01-2011, 11:04 AM 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.
RotaryMachineRx 09-01-2011, 11:12 AM Sick man I've always loved 360 forged but I think they are out of my price range..... plus I'm still stuck on a set of bronze TE37's or Forgestar F14's
Need to learn to do some photo shopping to see what each would look like.
RX8TOM 09-01-2011, 01:22 PM Looking good !
bumblebeerx8 09-01-2011, 05:46 PM dont do the f14s they are played out like the rpf1s now. forgestar has a 5 spoke thats nice i almost did those in carbon but i am a sucker for the split 5 spoke design. the 360s are close to what i have in my turbo stuff minus support things lol. to tell you the truth the volk gts that phenik(mispelled i think) had for sale i drooled over and would have bought if i didnt get such a good deal on the super rozzas that i have for driving around on. I still often dream about them.
9krpmrx8 09-01-2011, 05:56 PM 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.
Chad D. 09-01-2011, 06:42 PM Damn bumblebeerx8, your car is f'n stylish.
bumblebeerx8 09-01-2011, 07:49 PM 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

Let me know when you are doing it and maybe I will come out and help you out.:smoker:
bumblebeerx8 09-02-2011, 04:53 PM is that code for bring your car to lol. We will see how stuff goes. I did pick this up, hopefully the judges do not miss the rear mount now. sorry stuff was dusty from grinding fiberglass outside.

Jamcan 01-26-2012, 09:30 PM I live in Calgary ,ab and would like to fine other yellow in my area so we may go for a drive the mountains and the open roads are calling
Xallanar 01-27-2012, 01:34 AM MMMMM Lightning Yellow, I got mine recently and i was worried i wouldn't like the yellow. It grew on me in an hour.
bumblebeerx8 02-25-2012, 10:24 PM yeah i didnt think i would like yellow at first either. It took about 5 minutes and i have never looked back. Its hard to argue with this. dont mind the painters tape for protection

bumblebeerx8 02-26-2012, 09:00 AM actually looking to change some pipe sizing. i have some backpressure issues from the .63 housing. also going to try and help spool while im at it. it not bad just trying to see how good i can get it. Not sure when, working overtimeand trying to buy a house
RX8TOM 02-26-2012, 09:34 AM Yes Yellow Is The Best Color ! Nice Looking Cars People ! Keep It Up !
RotaryMachineRx 02-26-2012, 11:16 PM BumbleBee what hood is that? Is it a Seibon TT?
Absolutely love it!!
bumblebeerx8 02-27-2012, 07:19 PM Seibon KS.
RotaryMachineRx 02-27-2012, 11:41 PM 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.

http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv26/bumblebeerx8/IMG951167-1.jpg
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.
drifter_d 02-28-2012, 10:44 PM Being a LY owner, I've never been a fan of the "bumblebee" look and I'm still not. But you know what they say about opinions... Regardless, the C-West front looks absolutely phenomenal on your car. Excellent choice and props to a very clean car done right.

bumblebeerx8 03-22-2012, 04:17 PM thanks, I enjoy looking at your projects too, I tried to make DGRR but work made it a no go. The guy that took these does a awesome job editing and the canon he uses is insane. More to come through out the summer if if get the car back together.

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
ableobject 04-02-2012, 04:41 PM 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

9krpmrx8 04-02-2012, 04:50 PM Wow that is the ugliest POS ever. Oh, and that bodykit is not "1 of a kind", it is commonly referred to as the "failside" bodykit made my veilside or any number of knock off body kit manufacturers..

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..
9krpmrx8 04-03-2012, 12:47 AM 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'.
RX8TOM 04-05-2012, 08:12 AM hey , its your car .... just like mine is my car . make it look how you want , your driving it . this is mine and i dont care who dont like it , i like it so thats all that matters .

9krpmrx8 04-20-2012, 04:25 PM Properly sized, proper wheels on a properly stanced LY RX-8 could look legit.
bumblebeerx8 04-21-2012, 03:36 PM ^agreed but must be super agressive. Ive wanted to do a mag blue but not sure it would look good enough. I still like the volk gts and ce28s if i could trade/sell off my piaa super rozzas
drifter_d 04-22-2012, 04:51 PM I've had piaa super rozzas in hyper black on my 8 since they were released. thought about selling them, but still think they look awesome. so i decided to have them re-barreled, re-lipped and polished in hyper silver. the goal is a more aggressive look with a much deeper lip.
RotaryMachineRx 04-23-2012, 10:34 PM I could be intersted in the super rozzas if you still had them in August
ableobject 04-25-2012, 01:10 PM Rx8tom i acctually ended up with a similar Scheme to yours...
Turned out pretty good... I went back to the stock rims.
