I saw a yellow one on the way home from work on the South Eastern Freeway travelling into the city at around 5:30 pm 3 days ago. :) Nice.

That was probably me if you are talking Barkers rd Kew.

On my way home, live in Kew and work in Yarraville.

Got it in late July, standard spec with nuthin else.

Goes good though.

If you seen another blue one on the way home from Yarraville near Kensington (near the Flemington Racecourse), that's mine. I got it late July. I haven't seen any other RX-8's apart from my brother's (a red one) and one on the Gold Coast (a titanium one).

Hello ypwpat:

Are you the one posted in my350z.com australian forum to ask about the question about the white colour Z? If that's you, nice to talk to you again as I am called "Z350Lover" there in that forum!

btw... if you want the lip, you can always paint both edge to the black colour and it will not make any difference... the reason I painted the lip is because the CF joins there and it does not look as nice as the middle section... and also this way, the car looks much lower than without the lip painted...

I am selling the lip for only 550 nego. as I paid around 1080 for tha brand new... and the fibre glass version will cost you 850 brand new...

cheers,

richie

That 350Z is a really brutal looking thing. How on earth do you negotiate speed bumps in it ? :)

Done anything to the donk and/or suspension worth sharing?

Kev.

No worries mate! They both are good looking cars.... I am not sure about the actual rx8 performance as I have not yet tested one.... all the best on choosing what you love and love what you choose!

if you happen to choose a Z, contact me for more negotiation on the price of the lip if it is not sold yet!

cheers,
