Rx8 finds a home in my garage!

A new purchase for me. New to posting, but I have read MANY of the threads and posts here.
My purchase was for a 2005 in pearlescent white. Had the magnaflow already on it. Sounds nice and loud, but after about 3 hours straight the note makes me shift down to fifth to save my ears.
Short and quick adds will be my enkie rp03 sbc's will go on while I get the stock rims powdercoated. The enkies are saweet, but the dreaded 18x7.5, but will work till I get the stocks powdercoated.
Long term plans are, save the stock engine for my warrenty and just work on lightening the body with carbon fiber both doors hood trunk if carbon creations has the fenders and body kit. Also eibach everything bottom end.
Much later the discussion of boost.
As I'm on my phone sorry for errors in writing and pictures when I get home.

Enkies are being put on now. Thanks for the comments I am for sure hooked. Miss the speed from my last vehicle. Ducati 1098. But cannot beat the comments I get with this car. I need to add the updated starter because this one spinns way to slow. Ouch by the way they just gave me the price LOL. Pictures may be a bit but should look good with the rp03
