New to the family
Well on Friday I took the plunge and bought my rx8 -- been wanting one for 2 years. I bought a black cherry 2005 Shinka and traveled 1200 miles to get it haha, but it was worth every second. I'll post some pics after my parts that I ordered show up and I have them installed.

Hey BigMikeATL - I think I saw your Shinka Yesterday (Aug10th) parked in front of Total Wine. Your car looks great! Congrats. Not many Shinka's in the Atlanta area.

Here is an updated picture on my baby. I find myself when driving past the outlets in a dead stare in the stores glass everytime I go by. Love the car, love the color, even though mine seems to be a little darker then the rest.

Yeah haha, Out of all the rx8's the black cherry and the white were my favorite colors. I got some plans underway to make those grills look less lonely :O.. I'll have to have some custom parts made for the plan tho - good thing my friend is a machinist

I wanted to post up the latest pictures of my Shinka, now that she is turbocharged, methanol injected, with new wheels, tires, brakes, brake lines, rotors, and exhaust. I finally have the car how I envisioned it when I started making mods.
If there are other turbocharged Shinka's can you re-post your pictures or link me your album. I'm really curious if there are any other turbocharged '05 Shinkas.

Yeah I really wish I had it then too, but its alright... it would have sucked driving a turbocharged 6spd in bridge traffic. I'll have it out at a meet soon though. I won't be at the PA one, but probably the meet after that.

so this morning i take the ocho in to the dealer to have them give it a once over since i bought it used and the service writer asks me if the color name is "burgundy" LOL......
then he asks me if i want the complimentary car wash ....uh it's mica paint, is that a hand wash deal? he says no....then i have to tell him that we can't do a machine wash on it.
do they know anything about these cars?????
