I remember seeing a 'vert that had an active roll bar... it detected if it was going upside down and roll bars shot up from behind the seats... can't remember what car it was now. . . I watch a lot of top gear, so who knows what it was. . .

I wouldn't trust an electronic roll bar. What happens if you get hit and your power goes out before you start to roll? Or if the collision initially disables the device before deployment? Too many "what ifs" IMO

Damn that sucks man. Sucks seeing an 8 in that condition. At least I know how safe the car really is now lol.


I wonder if those 6000k HID's are safe in the projector? If they are let me know!

I really do like the rx8 but since i have the option I'm thinking of exploring other cars..banks wont let me get a loan for a really old car like an fd or something...and I was looking at a 2nd gen eclipse gsx but kelly blue book is listing its value around 4-5k when the seller is selling it for around 8-10k and I dont think they will give me that much of a loan for a 10-12 yr old car...any suggestions? I do like the 350z idea its affordable and newer

if someone is wanting that much over blue book, i'd keep looking. that's way too much.

You should look into an Audi TT Coupe instead of the 350z

so i guess the fogs i sold you are gone? lol im glad your okay dude. instead of getting an sti or evo why dont you get an 09 wrx. has just about the same power as the sti.

LOL AT 7Dust!
But seriously I'm glad you're okay... can't believe you walked away from that!
I agree with WB Rx8, WRX are basically the same power as the STI's

Rx8's power is about 60 hp less than the STI and about 140 ft lbs of torque less...not around the same...still looking into 2nd gen gsx, s2000, and 350z at the moment

And yes "wb rx8" I just put those fogs on like 3-4 days before They looked good too
