I'm still in love with my other car.
 
I'm still debating selling my 3000GT or paying the extra for insurance every month, but I love her so much :banghead: .

Have any of you ever had a hard time getting over your old car as if it were a human being :tear: ? lmao

don't laugh, when Sophia died (my rx8) i was devastated for weeks.

Sell your 3000GT and you will have some money to make your 8 much much more sexy. You will not look back on your decision.

I feel your pain, when i sold my prestine '79 280Z , as it was driving away from me I knew made the worst decision in my life, threw up and shed a few tears. I miss that car dearly!:icon_no2:

It always happens I used to have a 2003 corolla S before my CX7 and my RX8 and i still miss it sometimes, I wish I would have kept it as a daily beater.

dozer 01-08-2009 12:59 PM

i miss my 1990 240sx s13 hatchback :( ...its ok tho, i got another red car, rwd, sunroof and all....reminds me of how much fun i had in the beater, no i carve corners like never before...

CyberPitz 01-08-2009 01:01 PM

I miss my '90 Mercury Topaz.......
........
Wait a second.

But I didn't wreck it... :( I betrayed it.

The other week I had a minor problem... spontaneously thought that I needed a new car so I started looking for a replacement... The RX8 looked great and reminded me of my GT so I bought one... then I got the news that my GT was in perfect condition and that it just needed a new belt :(.

I now have a Titanium Grey RX8... which I think was a mistake ONLY because if I had gotten a black one and threw some black wheels on it I would be happier?

I feel sooo crazy, haha. Anyone have advice on how to make my RX8 look like a batmobile? :D

dozer 01-08-2009 01:11 PM

yeah my 240 was still in working condition at 240k miles...

tint your windows, give it a good drop, maybe some black wheels and a body kit, the stock appearance pkg looks GREAT with a drop...

alienRX8 01-08-2009 01:13 PM

or get the mazdaspeed kit and it will look even hotter hah

dozer 01-08-2009 01:15 PM

^agreed! get rid of you GT and put that money into mods! body kit, tint, and wheels...then give you car some SOUND, a good exhaust and intake combo, not only does you car look sexy, its gonna sound just as SEXY

Kelli_Kitten 01-08-2009 01:32 PM

You guys are great :).

Where can I find this so called... mazda speed kit?

Don't mind me, I am a noob :(.

Jedi54 01-08-2009 01:37 PM

What's the cost range for having these kits installed? Or is there a 'how-to' guide?

Sorry if this is in another thread.

dozer 01-08-2009 01:46 PM

authentic mazdaspeed is pricey, but a damn near PERFECT fit...with the right tools and knowledge, body kits can be put in by yourself or with help of friends...

Yeah, but it gets worse after the car is long gone and you start thinking about it years down the road. To think I sold my '89 RX-7 for $100 (engine was blown) years ago because I was tired of paying for storage at the time tears me up inside especially since I have the time and space now to bring it back alive.

TopGear8 01-08-2009 01:52 PM

^If you know how to take your front bumper off, then you will know how to put the MazdaSpeed front bumper on. It uses the exact same holes as the OEM bumper. Only takes about 20 minutes tops to take it on and off. The sideskirts have brackets and you will need to drill holes into your car, therefore it will take longer to install. But there is a how to guide and if you follow it it's not hard at all.

Ahhh.. I would be sad about that too :(

Atilla 01-08-2009 02:11 PM

Kitten: you have a PM!

I kissed my last favorite car goodbye when it got towed :tear:

97' gst @ 10psi w/spray

all the car's i've had since then have all pailed in comparison - w/the exception of my 8 :rock:

Atilla 01-08-2009 02:14 PM

p.s.- The Autobahn kit w/Ings +1 spoiler would also look extremely clean on an 8 if you're aiming for the batmobile look :yesnod:
