eventually i wanna swap the tails....im far from a fan of them

 

Awesome bro! Can't wait to see the work you do cause I know it'll be killer. Perfect color choice too. I always thought it was odd how much wheel gap they have with stock suspension.

 

the right gold wheels will look killer...white is rteally nice too but you know very well white wheels = impossible to keep clean and over time will become dingy...

Personally id do gold or bronze black will fade into the car and look bland unless you get some sick polished alloys...

 

yeah.. that's kind of what i was getting at. i didn't really notice it when i was down there on sunday but looking at some of those pics you got they're pretty euro, which i'm not a fan of either. they don't look bad, but i bet you can find something better.

and i agree with klepto. the bronze rpf1's in 17 will look pretty sick.

 

i might just do 16's to save more weight

 

How are you going to fit Rx-8 brakes inside 16s?

 

the brakes can be shaved to accomodate 16's.......there was some one here who had the fd rims (16x8) and the brakes....they were just trimmed a little bit....and i would have them painted and cleaned up before i install them

 

why didnt you just get another 8 though? im confused

 

cuz i got a killer deal on a car that feels just like the 8 and gets 33mpg

 

You're gettin' smart in your old age!

 

the great thing is that to change the exhaust is so easy to get to..and if you where to do headers.they are sooooo reachable.. nuthing is in the way..

 

never quit seen any ricers paint or have white wheels, usually busy painting other things or dippin them in chrome, but Ive seen many many race cars with white wheels...

 

the only people that ive had experience with saying white gets dirty or cant keep it clean, dont clean their car,,, plenty of people dont have trouble with white it just take a lil bit more maintenance,,, owning an 8, a person should have no prob with a lil bit more maintenance...

 

im still looking for the perfect wheel but already bought the mazdaspeed/aem cold air intake, got rx8 sways, and have the 7lb race exhaust (roadster sport) from good-win racing on the way....

 

Congrats Chris! I love the stormy blue on anything! It's about the only other color I'd have wanted to have on my 8. I see you didn't wait long to start moddin!

 

are they the 8 OEM sways, and do they actually gain anythig in performance, I guess they must since the 8 was built as a heavier car, so I guess their lateral load wil be be broader,,, If the OEMS fit why was your decision to go with the factories as opposed to a proven aftermarket such as RB, Hotchkis, etc??? please tell...

 

the oem 8 sways are thicker and more rigid than any of the aftermarket sways....its kind of a cheap underground mod i guess but definately works from what i read

 

oh no you did not buy a miata.....

 

oh yes i did

 

I assume you mean te 8s bars are thicker than the miatas??? cuase they sure arent thicker than my RBs... just double checkin...

 

they are thicker than the miatas version for the RB

 

well the sways are in....and i just got delivery of this 7lbs of sexy

 

you lost all my respect.......................

but you're still a cool guy :D

 

why is that taj?.....because i have a piston car now?......is it the type of car?.....you tell me....

 

Me thinks it's your music selection!
