So It begins.


I have FINALLY checked off everything on my wishlist for my 8, and everthing had been ordered.


-INGS Front nose & side skirts
-MS Rear Bumper
-MS Wing
-Borla Exhaust
-and yes, Scissor (Lambo) Doors, Not 100% on this one, it will make it easier to get into the back seat (no getting trapped between the doors) and my shop is charging me 1000 US to get it bought & shipped and about 100 bucks to install, still not too sure.

Ill be sure to post some pics when its all done.

great mix, but drop the lambo doors

must cost an arm and leg for all those parts! Can't wait to see some pics

 

haha, but lambo doors are SO cool!

haha, and functional, I dont know how many times ive gotten into the triangle of doom when letting someone out of the back seat!

Il be sure to post tons of pics, and if anyone wants to see them and live in oakville, let me know.

I saw a pic of a black 8 with the lambo doors, doesn't look bad, but then again, I never had a problem with people going in nor out of the back seat. Back doors come out to 80 degrees almost perpendicular to the car, and the front door moves our pretty far too, but when u park next to a car, you are right about the triangle of doom, but you drive a rotary engine, you should love and appreciate every triangle that this car has and creates :D

I've personally never gotten into a with lambo doors, wouldn't you have to watch out for ur head, because the bottom of the door blocks some of the entrance into the car (I don't know, just curious)
But they do look good.

Sorry for the mistakes, and if I missed any again, very tired.

FOCKER OUT!

 

Haha, tis all good, well see if I have enough.

I actually rather get a new set of rims.

Bindon, I don't know how long you've been around this board but there was a fellow in Sweden that also has a black 8 that he put lambo doors on. Very nice looking car. You might want to take a look.

 

Here's the link. I lied, he's from Switzerland. The pics of the lambo doors are on the 3rd or 4th page.

that does look really cool. but how the hell do you get in there? heheh, looks like you have to open up both doors to get in, I'm probaly wrong.. But that really does look nice.. I wish my black 8 would look like that. . . . maybe it can. . .

Bindon: if you do get those doors I would really like to see that.. I'm out in brampton so i'm not to far from you


MrJynx

 

WOW, That looks like a **** and a half to get into. Makes things way too difficult.

Maybe ill sell my OEM rims and hook Some Motegi FF6's in Gunmetal,


I like em alot, I think they would look good on my Titanium


Theyre 18x7.5, would my tires with with them, I have the stock Dunlop SP 8060 (or something like that) tires

What do you guys think of these ones??

ADVAN RG'S http://msj.advan.com/product/advan/a...g/advan_rg.jsp

i got bored...here's an idea.

 

How much do they run?


Im looking for cheaper ones, like the ones I posted, trying to sell the OEM's and break even


-Bindon

 

gotcha...i don't think they're cheap. rota always makes good knock offs with a good price.

***edit: nvm...i just checked out the rota site. they're wheels are ugly as hell. sorry...***

 

volk te-37's! bronze

 

These ones are only 145

pretty damn good price, for a nice looking rim,


Doesn't look like the have caps though, is there anyway I can just get plain gunmetal caps?

Who know, I DO like the OEM rims, just depends on If someone give me an offer that will break even with the cost of the new rims.

-Bindon

 

I bet it would look great.....In my opinion i definatly recommend not doing the whole lambo door thing...this isnt a dumb tuner car....to me its a genuine performance car.... I'd rather do full M/S suspension kit, and definaltly some super sticky SO-3's...

 

Yeah, ill look into the rims, and then a year from now ill look into the stabalizer bars from mazdaspeed.

Anyone else have some rim ideas?....That ARNT as pricy as volks

-Bindon

 

Almost there.


I have my Aluminum car mats, and my MS rear in!!!

Waiting on the borla, (Shouldn't be long)

and the kit is still a while away.

Working on getting the MS wing, and TRYING to sell my OEM rims so I can get myself some TSW volcanoes!!

Oh well, waiting is the name of the game now!!!

-Bindon

 

should go with FULL ing's kit :D

 

I dunno, for 400 bucks, the two little rear flares you get isnt worth it to me.
Id rather pay 500 and get a full new MS rear.


-Bindon

 

but is kinda weird... u have ing's front.. ms at back....

personally i think is not matching..

 

Itll do the job, Mix and match is what I wanted. I think it shoudl look ok, because if the rather sgressive curves of the front, matching the agressive curves of the MS rear.
