Hot Stuff Issue 17
 

Hello!

Has anyone seen the black rx in the above mag?

Comments/feedback welcome!

Me bored... looking for other things to do; guess u all know what that's like!

Cheers & thanks in advance...

Is that Black 8 yours? It's very nicely done up, the only thing I didn't like was how the mag claim it as "Mazdaspeed" RX-8!

Heh heh. Suppose they figured that since we got Mazdaspeed accessories/options, it's a Mazdaspeed RX-8.

Not quite accurate me know!

BTW how'd u get the pic of starter button & grey RX? NICE!!!

Any idea/suggestion what me should do next? Itchy (as r we all!)

And thanks for replying!

I would love to get more of the accessories too but these accessories ain't cheap. In fact, I think they're very much over priced. Anyway, back to your question, I'm suprise you've kept those wheels! I thought those will be the first to go if you're into mode-up your ride. IMO the 16's are a little too small, and those rubbers are looking way too thick! Looks like someone who dress-up nicely but had a wrong pair of shoes. Otherwise you'd had one of the sweetest ride on the road here!!

I've ordered the start button as well, I love start buttons, I think it gives some kind of joy from just starting up a car. How's the experience so far? Has it fail on you so far? Did you install the button yourself, infact even for most of your accessories or was it installed by GarageR?

As for the Avatar, the button is just the product shot from the accessories catalog. And the Tit8 pix is from of the many publicity shots from the Mazda site, But, originally it's blue, just do a little photoshop and change it to the colour that I'm getting. The Tit RX-8.

"Any idea/suggestion what me should do next? Itchy (as r we all!)"

There should be more and more performance parts coming out of Japan in the coming year. The 8 is still pretty new, so I guess a lot of the mods companies are undergoing development and testing. Should be very interesting and painful on the wallet...

Thanks M-Ster! Me scheming to change rims & tyres after wearing out the present - otherwise waste $$$.

Heard that alignment, speedo, etc. different/wrong after change to bigger rim. Any idead whether true? Scared of speed cameras!!!

Accessories were fitted in Japan as me ordered 'em with RX at same time.
Starter is VERY smart - only works once (to start car). Won't work after car has started - so no accidents!

Hi Fab 8! U right, lots to look forward to!

BTW, M-Ster, u might want to look into the remote start function! Me couldn't get it as Japan said not safe...

Me still quite disappointed! Apparently the silly thing MAY kill the engine while u driving. Spooky stuff!

The hotstuff feature of RX 8 is yours? (Naughty Boy)

The 8 is awesome.....great looking 8 but.................


Who's dat awful looking red creature beside the 8........

spoilt the whole damn great lookin 8 & the pic....*sigh*

that hotstuff car is quite similar to my car's setup..see the picture gallery section..got the start button as well (cool) but the illuminated gear knob is a little too bright.

Hey dare2devil28! The lady in the pic is the designer (if u will) of the car! Pic was a little distorted me know.... Maybe red too bright???

Btw errant, gear knob is not illuminated! Maybe the flash???

Say dare2devil28, maybe u jealous??? ;)

naughty boy- i meant that i got the illuminated gear knob for my car. when it's on at night the light is a little too bright for my liking.

Errant, saw ur pics. Ur RX looks GREAT!!!

Why too bright? Maybe u can dim it? Rest of instrument lights can be dimmed (although me only guessing)

U went for the full Mazadaspeed kit? Looks good! Did u mesh the front? Looks like u did! Maybe u should consider gauges!

btw errant, watch out for ur mirrors. Don't wipe em too hard. They tend to pop out - the glass i mean. Mine did.

Have to push carefully but firmly to pop it back in. So pay careful attention - mine nearly fell off! Dangling from wires...

thanks !
 

hey naughty boy..thanks for the advice. Yep i had Ganador mirrors on my previous car and the glass popped out and crashed onto the road..had to wait 3 months to wait for the #*&$ piece of glass to arrive from japan!

The front kit comes with the mesh standard, also sprayed from factory in the two tone colour.

Cant adjust gear knob brightness..only the rest of the instrumentation. Have got Defi black face gauges sitting at home but still looking for a pod to house them..

Me envoius! Was dreaming of Defi gauges; trying 2b good until Xmas!

There is a nice gauge housing somewhere in this site - fits on the dashboard.

If u don't have airbags on your A pillar u could fit em there! Me regret having air bags on A pillar... No gauges possible there.

Re ur gearknob; read somewhere else that u can change the buld to a dimmer one (although me don't know whether it's advisable).

Ur mesh is NICE!!!

errant; you may wanna show for the RX meet! Me would love to see ur mesh!

Me thinking of meshing mine....

Errant's car looks fantastic

btw i won't be jealous over u over that awful looking creature.........

There r better ones........i think most of them saw the pics agreed...

(input not onli from me but from many readers as well!!!)

advice: next time juz the the pic of the 8 & not others.....

For both cars & women, same principle applies: -

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

dun make us puke!

u seem to have a chip on ur shoulder....

My condolences to u....

hey come on........ got pissed off?

if u cant accept comments then dun ask for our inputs/comments...

why, onli wish to hear nice words eg...wah yr car looks great, wah impressive stuff........etc etc...

cant accept negative inputs or criticism?....then better dun ask.....

afraid no one c yr car in mag?......come on.....more great lookin 8s is on the way like errant 8..... i can say looks impressive.....(of coz no other "things" wif the pics)....

Dare 2 ask then Dare 2 accept it..........bro

I could agree with u to a point....

Me happy to hear comments good & bad; was hoping to hear more about what else to do with the car!!!

Always nice to see others doing stuff to their cars; that's what spices things! And gives ideas...

So what have u done with urs? Maybe something different/nice???

great......dats the way bro....

mine still waiting for all my "accessories".........

will u be there for the meetup?
