Hope this stays in the Far East forum....just wanted to post a couple of pix of my new 8, not unlike a proud pappy :D Guys who just recently got their 8, share a few pix...guys who already have one, post 'em also! Let's see the diversity of 8's in Singapore....

I think I can post on this since I'm in Australia..... close enough to Far East/Asia and Singapore.

Besides, you posted your pics on my thread, the least I can do is return the favour and post a link. :) :) :)

hehe...right on nojooc! Question for you, have you noticed any additional road noise by going with the 19" rims in addition to the lowered springs?? Yer car looks great btw.

here goes.... :D

Your car looks good...... but what's with all the stickers on the passenger side of the windscreen? :confused:

Also...is that tinted glass or just the pix?

hehe...right on nojooc! Question for you, have you noticed any additional road noise by going with the 19" rims in addition to the lowered springs?? Yer car looks great btw.

Yes there is an increase in road noise, but this could be to do with the new tyres being directional and having larger tread blocks whereas the standard Bridgestones are the opposite.

Suspension will only effect road noise when you lower the car too low and it crashes and bumps over every corrugation on the road.
Driving on smooth roads won't give you any additional noise.

Also...is that tinted glass or just the pix?

u tokin bout the windscreen or the rear?the rears r tinted,the fr is plainly reflection :D

awesome. Blue looks nice. I was going for it but unfortunately they didn't have 2 tone blue back leather. So I got the red instead to match the leather. hahaa

Also...is that tinted glass or just the pix?

If you're asking me, yes it is all tinted except for the front windscreen.
Australian Design Regulations allow you to tint every window a maximum of 35% except the front windscreen.

Thought all around....rear tint looks great with the yellow, nice contrast!

Must be "gifts" from all the girls you've picked up with the car. ;)

Thanks Manwe....must admit, the plain black interior would have been nicer with two-tone, but wanted the blue. The red two-tone on yer special indent will be superb...be sure to post pix when you get 'em.

yep...but i am sure you probably see it b4 i post :)

pai seh to hv strained ur @@...pix taken fr a camera fone,resolution is bad....sori :o

Hi EBS! Yeah, those prodrive rims on cus' car are nice. I'm convinced to upgrade the rims soon....but just enjoying the ride for now. Going to look around a bit first, still haven't gone out on a proper quest for rims. I'm leaning on the SSR's, just a matter of when I want to part with the additional cash.....

Zaino!! :D

V-Kool too...maybe weekend?

Yo Genesis have you seen this? think its fab ! i know im being evil by tempting you, but the white TE37s just go so well with this kit..and hey, there was one just posted for sale today!

hehehe..

V-Kool too...maybe weekend?
can't this weekend, not around till Sunday afternoon, but definitely thereafter...next week-night? Else, following weekend for sure ;)

hahaha....am thinking of getting it done ASAP. Hmmm....maybe drive down and leave it there and collect after work...

hehehe..
Fab-8's car? hehe....looks sweet errant. Those white Volks would suit my blue nicely...however, what do you think about white SSR GT1's?

hahaha....am thinking of getting it done ASAP. Hmmm....maybe drive down and leave it there and collect after work...
That'll work for me too...choose a day, let's pm.

hmm..the 5 spoke design isn't really my cup of tea, esp. since ive got a set of them courtesy of mazda sitting at home already.. personally if i were to shell out for new rims, id get something that didnt resemble the stockers at all.

then again, if you got the GT1s in white that would look a lil different..and you can't go absolutely, totally wrong with a 5 spoke design. its safe! take your time picking your wheel, don't end up "marrying" the wrong one..

Good advice.....something to think about in terms of the alternative...

Hey, where's the rest of the pix from u guys! Let's seem 'em...I know there are more aficionado's out there than me :)

The white rims/blue car combo is nice, veri striking. The white GT1 looks good but need a little bit more effort cleaning them.
Go Genesis go!

Dat BLue INGs Volks 37s is PERFECT! I Louuvvvvve it! -_-)b

Yes, they have... buy apparently SGP they dun seems to have the colour.
That's goes for the Black and Nordic Green too.
Saw Nordic & Titanium in Jakarta, but again NO Black. But the Catalogue did show black.
Woot, let me know if u cant get it here in SGP, the next trip in Jakarta I can get it for u. :)

All the sales person explain to me they dunno even know next batch coming in will have T.grey (depends)...So finally i've got mine from Taiwan!!! estimate S$100

haha...hope so Woot.... maybe in 1-2yrs time..... :)
i go down to town at least 1-2 time a week...so i guess yea..... there's not many other places to go in Singapore.....

better go grab the Grey RX8 model while u can... i think they are not bringing in any more new shipments for RX8s...... (i got my red one in HK cos SG no more also)

Autoart actually made a black RX8 with black/red interior but the local agent won't bring it in, i saw it in HK.... so i guess if there are ppl going there, can check it out....
