BigOLundh 08-29-2005, 03:53 AM bmw=teh slow m3s are not slow. they are horrible cars to own (maintenance/repair), but they are definetely not slow. staticlag 08-29-2005, 04:10 AM First daytime shots.

(drove 25.6K miles in the last year) A couple of mods since I bought it :) http://ilp303.com/albums/miscrx8/loweredandwashed.sized.jpg (http://ilp303.com/pix/miscrx8/loweredandwashed?full=1) http://ilp303.com/albums/miscrx8/washedandapplique.sized.jpg (http://ilp303.com/pix/miscrx8/washedandapplique?full=1) TopGear8 08-26-2007, 03:21 PM looks very nice, i would get some clear corners. what mods are you gonna do? Astral 08-26-2007, 04:59 PM looks very nice, i would get some clear corners. what mods are you gonna do?already got clear corners & mods in sig, see today's post TopGear8 08-26-2007, 06:35 PM ^oh, i see, didnt realize that you started this thread 2 years ago, thought you just got your 8. but it looks very nice. MazdaJeff 08-26-2007, 07:29 PM Nice ride. TopGear8 08-26-2007, 07:34 PM Hey how much did you pay for the lip and side's? cus i've seen them alot but dont know how much they are. supergoat 08-26-2007, 08:54 PM Nice! It really is the best color. :) Astral 08-26-2007, 10:20 PM Hey how much did you pay for the lip and side's? cus i've seen them alot but dont know how much they are.I got a deal on a 2nd-hand set of lip, sides and rear aero flares. They all cost a bit over ~$840 new, subtract ~$225 if you don't want the rear. DOMINION 08-27-2007, 11:47 PM Me like the color :) Astral 09-15-2007, 06:59 PM 50,000 miles today! HIX8 09-15-2007, 07:57 PM 50,000 miles today! Or as they say... Turbo Time! Ha! Astral 09-15-2007, 08:18 PM Or as they say... Turbo Time! Ha!Haha, 10K more miles until powertrain warranty is out! But going to be visiting SevenStock X to look at kits and what not! :) Astral 10-28-2008, 10:42 PM And so she's gone, with 75K miles on the clock. One engine and power steering rack later :) But did she look beautiful and did she drive great and did she rev ever so willingly! ... started with: http://ilp303.com/albums/firstdaytimerx8/rx8_1.sized.jpg Peaked at: http://gallery.me.com/uksi/100124/P7060987/web.jpg Sold as: http://gallery.me.com/uksi/100252/PA281614/web.jpg Did this: http://gallery.me.com/uksi/100157/2008-08-09-2313/web.jpg And only one of this: http://lh5.ggpht.com/chuyler1/R8tV3-gWvCI/AAAAAAAABbk/Y_W_40tLgEA/s720/P1000814.JPG But a bunch of this: http://gallery.me.com/uksi/100172/P8161327/web.jpg And it was all fun! If I had to do it all over again, I would go with coilovers instead of springs + shocks. Racing Beat exhaust has been nothing but awesome--what a great note! I'll miss that sound! Time to shed a tear and raise a glass for her. ZumnRx8 10-29-2008, 12:17 AM http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp53/rx8zumn/wbs.jpg |
