such a sexy color lol but not as sexy as the winning blue lmao =]]
and yes welcome! |
And I thought the new dark R3 rims would not show dirt.
|
I've been wanting to see that color, thanks, and welcome! :)
|
judging by the pics you're having the same problem i am...i've had my car since April 29th and I've never seen the damned thing in the sun!!! but here are a few more pics of my AB R3
(sorry for the cell pics as well, not gonna carry around the camera in the rain :() http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...8%20R3/014.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...8%20R3/020.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...8%20R3/015.jpg |
Hot color, awesome wheels
|
sharp lookin
|
finally got a sunny day for the first time in over 2 week on tuesday and a friend of mine took some pics of the car for me before i put springs on it:
http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...0Cars/rx83.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...0Cars/rx85.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...0Cars/rx87.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...0Cars/rx89.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...rx8allcars.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...20Cars/rx8.jpg hopefully going to be getting some pictures this weekend of the R3 lowered with Eibach Pro-kit. and also will load up some non-HDR photos for you guys as well |
A bit too much sharpening on those pics, otherwise looks good.
|
so nice!
|
nice rides guys, any mods???
|
Starting off with the basics...got a Racing Beat cat-back exhaust being shipped as we speak. Im goin with the Racing Beat CAI as well...i like that factory look it has when its installed. After that...we'll see =)
|
the 2nd day i had my car i went to rotary performance in Garland which is a 10 minute drive from where i bought my car (mesquite) and got their race mid-pipe. just put Eibach pro-kit on the car last night, have Hotchkis front and rear sways with AWR adjustable endlinks on the way, and axial flow shifter sitting at my shop that i'm putting in tomorrow...and i've been trying to get the Exoticspeed R1-T cat-back ordered since the day i bought my car but i can't seem to get the order to go through for whatever reason :(
|
welp, I couldn't sleep so i went out to the shop tonight to put the shifter in the car and found out that apparently they have changed in 09. I knew the reverse lock out had changed from the "right and down" to the "left and up" (which was the first thing i really noticed about the car whenever i got in it as i had an 04 VR back in 04).
I hoped the shifter would be the same, but I apparently am sadly mistaken. I'm going to try to contact Axial flow and see if i can send them my stock shifter and allow them to make the shifter for the new 2009+ RX-8's. |
I love the redesign, but its so un mod friendly.
Anywayz, Its a Miata trans. Check on what short shifters NC owners use... might work. |
This is now the Calling All Aurora Blue Mica! thread :)
|
NICE, but how someone said before... Winning Blue is the Winning Blue :yesnod:
|
The ABM crowd sucks at taking pictures :) J/K!
No really, you do....... |
There are other threads with nice pic but this was the earliest I found with multiple owners posting pics so it gets the boost;)
|
^LOL 9kRPM
|
damn some really nice pics! love the color
|
Here's a larger pic of mine taken by a friend who is a photographer out his drivers window while driving at 80 mph nonetheless.
http://www.csracer.com/rx8/inmotion.jpg |
gah...taking a look at these photos makes me realize how high they sit from the factory (or how slammed my car is now) lol
with the JIC flt-tar coilovers i have, literally, just enough space that i don't ever rub with 245/35-19 nitto nt-05's all the way around. I can't even fit one finger in the gap without going at a bit of an angle. |
Really nice looking !
If only Mazda had put rear right and left spoilers on the rear bumper, the shape of this R3 would have been perfect. |

welp, i hacked my own photobucket (it had been so long since i had used it i couldn't even remember my login name lol) and have some photos of the car as it sits today. it went from stock to what you see in this photos in just about 2-3 months. bought the car and immediately put on a rotary performance resonated midpipe, got jic flt-tar coilovers, hotchkis sway bars, AWR adjustable endlinks in june, july the car was at mazda with a busted shift fork, and in august carbon fiber hood, trunk, interior pieces, JIC 4-pt. strutbar, simota carbon fiber intake, and exoticspeed R1-T cat-back:
Attachment 267442 Attachment 267443 Attachment 267444 and this is from Turkey Drag 2009, a 2-day show centered around mini-trucks and bagged trucks but one of 5 cars that still made top 150 of the show. She's been to 5 shows and has 6 trophies or plaques to show so it's done quite well lol Attachment 267445 hope you guys enjoy! |
Car is sweet, i love it specially the carbon hood with the blue color :D !!!
But that Simota intake is bad choice if cold air not well driven to it, i would prefer the Racing Beat Revi + Air Duct or the Mazdaspeed/AEM intake much more effective in terms of performance with great "cooling". (sorry for explanation i'm french). |
I've already made a thread with photos, but you can never have too many RX-8 pics!

subscribed. will have to post my pic when i get home.
|
cool, another one. congrats.
|
Thanks! Someone on the UK board has pointed out that I don't appear to have any Mazda badges fitted...
|
That's because it's a 2010. The 2010's don't have the Mazda badge on the back. If it's a 2009, that's weird.
I just noticed you have clear corner lights/reflector things. They look nicer than the orange we have over here. |

RX8pwnage, did your cold air intake come in blue? I haven't been able to find one....haven't looked very hard because my wallet needs to recoup haha, but figured I would ask, looks sick =)

Yep. It was purchased already powdercoated blue. If you look harder you will find one. Im sure there are vendors on this forum who could get you one as well. Good luck! |
Kinda figured as much haha thankssss!
|
wow... the 80 mph photo is my favorite... I'm guessing that was taken with a really nice professional camera.

Lovin' your R3 dude. Do you know if that air intake voids the warranty? Also, does it have a dyno tested hp gain?
Again, great pics, great car. As with any other intake on the RX-8's i seriously doubt there's more than 1-3 rwhp gain at the most. Honestly, it gives a really nice sound and deepens the engine tone a bit. the only real way to get any "reasonable" (and i say "reasonable" because well, on these cars we'll spend $500 to get 3-4 rwhp lol) would be a fully boxed in intake with the REVi air duct as another member posted about my intake. The big reason for the intake I have is that i do realize the intakes are minimal if any real gains and the CF intake pulls the hood, trunk, and spoiler CF into the engine bay a bit and just kinda ties it all together to me. |
