FL New guy here from FLA

hey guys. i bought a 2005 Mazda RX8 a few months back; unfortunately its an automatic haha.

anyways it has 31,000 miles on it; i just ordered a new set of summitomo HTRZ 245/40/18's to put on it. heres some pictures.
it was in an accident; and I've spent the last couple of months rebuilding it. as you can see the custom bar underneath the grille that holds my custom shield up. im not paying the dealer big bucks for a shield when i can make it myself haha.

im planning on painting the calipers red for a better look; and maybe coilover and swaybars in the future.

auto FTL; I agree.

although I only have 5,000 dollars into the car with all the parts. its low mileage and it was a steal.

so ill take auto all day long for that price.


oh the passenger fender, grill and hood were all smashed up.
