Cool Beautiful!

Thanks, EASTGUY!
The big pictures are just fine for me!

The lowering kit on your yellow is really awesome!

The front treatment on the red is a bit much to my eyes - looks like it should have a sticker 'No Step!' to stop people standing on it....

Black is tremendous and the white is just perfect!!!

EAST MOON, your ride height is perfect!

What springs did you change to? How is the ride and handling now compared to the original sets?

BTW, excellent pics as usual! Thanks.

That material is the "METON".
sorry...I don't know how to call "METON" in English.
Mazda said The METON does not break well, easily than FRP.

I think, maybe...not fiber glass.

That is the AutoExe's spring.
My RX-8's body came down 2cm, by that.

I don't know and understand a difference them,
Since I don't drive on the highspeed. and only drove city area of Tokyo. :D

Thanks

East Moon,

I'm also in Tokyo, about ready to order the RX-8 and I'm looking to make some mods to it straight away.

Two questions for you.

1) Could you share where in Tokyo you got the springs installed and what was the total cost, looking for a reliable shop to get work done on the car

2) What size are your wheels and tires, they look great.

Ideally I'm thinking of getting some (Volks Racing SF- Challenge) wheels, 19" 8.5 in the front with 245/40 19 and 19" 9.5 in the rear with 275/40 19. Curious to find out if those sizes fit, if not then I'm going to have to go with 225s and 245s.

Thanks

Hi ether and Welcome!

New springs installed by the Mazda dealer.
the total cost was around 60.000 YEN
and my wheels size is 18"/7.5JJ tire is 225.

You chooses 275/40 19" ??!! I think, a thick tires takes RX-8's drive feel.

BTW: You know "R3" site..."RX-8 Rotor Router"
If you know that, Please visit also there.
We can meet in the RX-8 Japanese owners meeting. :D

Thanks

Hi Yuhki

You could see that, I waved the hand to you in my RX-8.
I enjoyed Rendezvous run with you.

Thanks

Congratulations ! for your first RX-8 meeting.

Tomorrow is on August 8 (Friday) in Japan, and the RX-8 Japanese owner is calling it "the 8's day".
Many Japanese RX-8 ownrs are going to meet tomorrow.
Of course, I will go to meet too with usual members.
maybe, 60 or more RX-8 meets at YOKOHAMA (the next city in Tokyo).

But, the TYPHOON (Hurricane) is approaching Japan now.
It seems that Someone called the typhoon for our meeting. :D

Thanks
