hi let me wat you guys think

I have nothing good to report for a while (new mods are yet to be installed)....

So for my 4000th post... I have to do something very MikeB

Brain... I think your car is very nice... I like that big GT wing.
Somehow I think the front is not really matching the curve of the bonnet... it must be the pic.

hey ur car looks great its very clean did a good job at it. keep up the good work my friend!

The color match looks a little off in the pics...

Sorry but the front looks like a cow-catcher to me.

I like the rear bumper and side skirts but the front bumper looks a little out of place. I prefer the re-amemiya front as it blends in better.

very nice car! love the wheels.

That middle photo reminds me so much of a photo I took in Sydney's northern suburbs of Lock's, mine and Jax8's and cars all parked out on the road.

Cheers,
Hymee.

never really liked the VS in red.. but that looks pretty damn tight everyones prally gonna flame u for the 2 tone and park bench but i like them both =D lol.. i like how u painted mirrors black and that back black.... rims are a little off but no biggie get them mirror black!

nice man..but i think the kit is too big. Nie wheels by the way...

looking good mate....
wow the victorian modified rx-8 twins awesome ;)

those tires look like semi slicks :D

skc

i like how u painted mirrors black and that back black

I think they are carbon fibre look plastic mirrors - replacement mirror that is.


those tires look like semi slicks

They look like the Potenza RE55s... my slick on the trick indeed :cool: very nice


wow the victorian modified rx-8 twins awesome

Come down and work here... I know you like 3some ;)


Sorry Elite-RedRX8... sounds like I own the car ain't I? ... sorry about that.

Elite rocks! Are you going for the Autosalon this year?

The color match looks a little off in the pics...

Hmmmm..... Brian... did JR paint your kit??

Not bad....

Now you just need the performance to match. We all do!

Come down and work here... I know you like 3some ;)


no thanks...... sydney is fine :D

that rear looks good with the wing and the side skirts... the front doesnt seem as well designed as the other parts

Taka~~~ we going to AutoSalon.

And more parts are going in to the car.

The front bumper isn't match. but getting repaint sometime.

The guy paint the wrong colour. but he will do it sometime soon.

ELITE will rocks man.

THanks guys for posting.

Hi all,
thx all of ur opinion~^_^~they really helpful!!
i know VS is quite huge, but i just want to make my car to be crazy this time
^_^
TAKA, JR didn't paint my kit this time, it's another guy^^
but anyway, he's gonna repaint my front bumper for me, he knows he made some big mistake, haha

thank u all for posting
Brian

whats wrong with melbourn ppl....? cant they colour match standard factory colored cars :D

Depends where you go in Melbourne. I am sure if Brian has gone to JR then the colour WILL match.

They have done a red RX-8 colour before. Remember AMUSE? He had 2 kits painted red by JR... and they were perfect match.

Saw a few more ELITE team member at Neilson's today (Racing Project)... there was a black Lexus there, I was interested what is on the passenger seat rather than the 20" chrome wheel :D

Some how the red colour is very hard to match thats all. but will be fix up that is the main thing.

haha~~~for sure will done by next autosalon, everything is gonna be ok, and more mods are coming soon also
^_^

silver is one of the most difficult colour to match.
red fades faster than any other colours, thats probably why it is difficult to match :D j/k

but overall look very nice..
love that wing too.. :D

didn't JR order the kit for u?, hwy not just get the kit painted there the first place?

now yous need more rx8s to match the s2ks in your team:)

the kit wasn't order from JR

First JR do not order kits at all. They are simply smash repairer. They do good job with their oven.

2ndly: Never get them painted in Japan. 1) They may get scratched and you are screwed. 2) They may be out of shape and need and adjustment - that may need to paint fine cracking.

So most time they fit the kit unpainted first to see alignment before painting.

Am I right?

correct.
trial fit, prep, paint and then fit.
i wouldnt recommend buy kit painted, like taka said, i'd get scratched/damaged during shipping, and what happen if it need adjustment ;)

YEp~~~ the place we go they fit before paint.
then paint and fit.

hi, nice kit...btw where do u buy ur carbon b pillar?

correct.

thats abit harsh.... dont forget, your car probably looked 70% alike..... :p

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

dude, that ride makes me feel ashamed to own a rx8....

how nice 9100RPM~~

show me your car then

how nice 9100RPM~~

show me your car then


I'm sorry to offend your sensibilities but mine is a stock standard red RX8..but I'm considering some mods, 19" Simmons Wheels, Catback exhaust and taking off all badges. I like them smooth..I'll post photos when I'm done. Sorry again man but I was not feeling too kind given the Mazda guys are design school graduates and that red one looks like a beautiful woman whose had just 3 too many facelifts..remember Farrah :rolleyes: . That white one looks OK but definitely not the red one!??? Just remember it's time to stop when people stare and look confused....9100RPM

haha~~~

people like different things and different looks. you don't like it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't like it.

whatever you say man. who cares.
do what you like to your car. and i will see how good you mod them.

when people look stare and confused so you stop??

MAy i ask you!! why you mod your car? because you like the bodykit, wheels? or you mod because people likes them but not yourself.

I dont like the front. Im loving the wing and the rims.

haha.....9100RPM,
thx for ur opinion, i dun think my car is very nice, i think there are a lot of 8's are very nice car in this forum.
i hope to see your car done very soon, 19' wheels, and catbak? when? 10years? 20?
J/K :D

I'm married so it might just take 10 years! ;) But when I do, you'll be the first to know 9100RPM

Elite-RedRX8: hey man... how much closer to the ground did your rx8 get after you installed the veilside mod?

Saw a few more ELITE team member at Neilson's today (Racing Project)... there was a black Lexus there, I was interested what is on the passenger seat rather than the 20" chrome wheel :D

A bit OT here.... sorry Brian!

Taka:

Can you let me know where is Racing PRoject??? my friend wants to go take a look at the shop and comp. the price of the labour....

thanks man!

cheers,

richie

Thought you knew Richie.

Racing Project is at 23 Thornton Cresent Mitcham
Only open Monday to Friday though

is the wheel 18/19?

thanks Taka!!! appreciate that!!!

cheers,

richie

hang on... I think it is number 24.... damn I am not sure la. It is on the inner square, rather than outer square and it does have Racing Project in front. Usually have heaps of car and the only shop open after 6 anyway

no problem... is that a panel shop or the parts shop?

they don't do parts. They are simply garage man, with reasonably low rate.

Not sure the quality of jobs... you see I never see a garage man work before they let me watch what is going on.

People have said they are a bit rough.... and for "off record" he hates Mazda.

I'm married so it might just take 10 years! ;) But when I do, you'll be the first to know 9100RPM

well....thx alot, good luck for ur 10 yrs ^^, all of us will expect to see you mods done after 10 years^^.
eventho by the time we might driving a new car and u still.....
LOL, j/k
com'on get ur mods done ealier :) :) :)

Elite-RedRX8: hey man... how much closer to the ground did your rx8 get after you installed the veilside mod?

er....i m not too sure, sorry....

:(

9100rmp is obviously a responsible man..... money doesnt grow on the trees. he has a wife to please, kids to feed and bills to pay, so 10 years is probablly a good time frame :D . and i can pretty much bet my balls that in 10-20 years, a stock 8 will probably worth more than a modified 8 :D
it'd be a different story if there is a unlimited supply of money......
quite a nice car you have btw, what do you do for a living Elite-RedRX8?
okay.... i go now :)

haha...EZZY
yeah i agree with u, 10 yrs later, standard 8 will be much more worthy than a modified 8. But 9100 rpm still love to mod his car~~~haha
ppl still like to mods their car....

:) :) :)

Hi EliteRedRX8...may i know where do u order ur bodykit from?

yeah where u ordered ur kit and are they genuine ? :confused:

they are genuine (cannot be more genuine than tha already) and brian imports the kits himself from Japan....

cheers,

richie

Richie,

how come there is a slight misalignment in the top part of the front bumper? It does not seems to have a equal gap all the way and the angle from the bonnet to the kit is awfully sharp ... and remind me of my stupid garage at present.

Taka

thx, richie......yeah~i import the veilside bodykit from japan, they are genuine. ^_^ .
i think there will always some fitment problem if u buy after market parts....so.....

btw, i m repainting my kits now....hope the colour will be better....or i will cry (T_T)

Elite

Good on you for having some fun with the thing but I would rip that front dam off within about 10 minutes on some of the roads I drive on and forget about the average driveway.

I've also found that many of these kits just create unnecessary drag and too much down force that robs the car of performance and adjustability in normal road driving.

Of course if you intend to race the thing on a track some of it might be worthwhile. Is the wing adjustable?

Guess it's a case of looks v functionality for most of us.
