NZ Enough lurking for me.

Hey guys finally signed up after a lot of lurking lol, so I thought I better post in our "downunder section" and say hello.

Lil info on me and my car its type s 6pd rx8 for about two years now i also have an rx4 that's in bad shape lol.
My 8s fairly standard I've put in a exeedy puk clutch and heavy duty pressure plate and besides replacing coils and spark plugs she's pretty a standard engine. Aesthetically I've fitted a veilside front and side body kit, have h&r lowering springs on their way and as we speak my rx8 is being resprayed to viola its a black with purple pearl (I'll have some pics up real soon).

Update:
Here's some pictures I forgot to add why I'm repainting the car, some idiots attempted to steal my rx8 and when they couldn't in frustration they did a bit of damage to the body =(
the car is now fully painted I'll get some photos after the cut and polish for you guys.
first photo is obviously when I first got the car, then when i two toned and added a kit and then prep and paint but I'm sure you could figure that out lol.
car is now lowered.
