flywheel did make a huge difference for me as well in 4th gear. It used to be disgustingly slow in that gear lol. With the BHR flywheel there is a bit of bucking under 3k rpm, but that's usually because my car isn't fully warmed up when it does happen. When it's warm it completely goesa away though and off the line performance did change considerably for me!

Ask Charles to what tolerances the flywheels he sells are machined. Then ask Pettit.

Looks lovely fella... I love the white, blue is nice, but if you have the cash this is the way to go, as like has been said, it's protecting the original paint at the same time. Wrapping is a great idea... I'd not do it myself, but can see why you have.
Only thing I'd say is and this is personal and in no way anything against the car (which is gorgeous, especially with those wheels is) I think the R3 looks slightly bloated and out of shape to the original design... something about the front end that's menacing and ace BUT looks aftermarket to the original...
However, nciely done, you had this dynoed yet? If you do, I went with Dyno Dynamics (and have promptly been slated due to a relaistic figure as opposed to silly numbers alot of people fly around)... be interesting to see what yours kicks out.

Well av loved the look of the Rx8 ever since it came out wanted one since that time back than a nice red one would of been lovely then i past my test and started driving and came a time when i could afford to run and rx8 when i saw the R3 version i was sold never mined all the other tech extras.
I said to myself my next car would be white and if i never posted pics showing it was blue before no one would know the difference.
I would love to know the power am putting out but till av finished modding the car theres no point really as i still have more things i want todo...
aka
(wheel spacers) so the alloys are flush with body
(pulleys) unsure about these atm what do ppl think of them????
(lowering springs) because a feel its just a little to high
(sway bars)
so far..
