That's sick. They belong in jail.

 

i picked mine up 2 days ago, and i love it. i figured i'd throw my pictures in, why not hahah

 

Hey boosted! You know that thing is too sexy and you will get tickets for it.

 

I love how the newer models or at least the shinks? have silver painted calipers

 

Yep, nice touch. That was going to be my first mod, but they did it for me!

 

hahaha yeah razz i definately noticed. obeying the speed limit to the exact mile an hour, and the cops STILL watch it drive by. it's worth it though.

 

 

Where's your winter car?

 

i feel so bad seeing all that salt sticking to that beautiful paint job....

 

i don't have a winter car...

 

Well, I've had the car for 3 months (1500 miles) now and finally have some digital pics. The more I see it the more I like it. The person taking the pics tried to show off the paint but like most of the other pics it doesn't compare to seeing it live. She also complained that she couldn't seem to get herself out of the pictures due to the reflection...and i thought the 8 was a tad too dirty.

Anyway, yes she's all stock right now but I get started with window tinting in 2 days. Then appearance package, accents, strakes and so forth start going on when it stays over 60deg F around here.

 

Best color hands down. But I'm biased...

Mine will be posted here kitted, rimmed, and dropped by next week.

Looking forward to your pictures, Time.

Hey, new to the forums, and hopefully soon to be a new owner of an 8. Was looking into a copper red one. I am new to all of this so I have a few questions if somone could help - are all of the copper red ones shinka's? And what is the whole difference with a shinka? Sorry I am new with all of this and wouldn't mind some help if anyone could lend me a hand.

Thanks -

 

^^ well, if you're Canadian, we call it an SE.. special edition. USA calls it a Shinka.
It doesnt say it on it anywhere, in the US it does on the B pillar. Ours is plain.

And yes, copper red is the only 8 that is an SE for 2006..
If you read the "whats so special about the shinka edition" thread, I copied and pasted the spec sheet that I got. You can compare with mazda.ca for the specs on the GT, or GS... depending on what year you want to look at (2006 and back are in the archives on their site).

Welcome!

 

For those who asked, my Copper Red brand new Veilside rear is for sale here:

I'll have to add mine to this post once the weather gets nice and I can give it a good wash and wax. Nice to see the number of members that have picked these up.

 

I've had mine since July 06, and I just now found this thread.! Took this at the DGRR last month.

 

Some pics of my Copper Red Shinka RX8...

I recently added chrome door handles and 2 12" Kicker Solos with 1500watt Crunch mono amp and Garmin Navi.

 

nice turbo logo.

 

^ +1! That is hot

 

Picked it up at local speed shop, it came with a red straight S, looks like a Z but S which I put on my 161 rwhp track-street legal Suzuki GSX-R1000, best I've seen, it sticks out like the RX8 one. I've seen these on VW Bugs @ middle of rear trunk (can it be considered a trunk?)

 

Who? What? Why? When? Where? Which?
