Are you talking about the tire pressure?

hmm, no thats about right.

Are those wheels the 9.5" wide RPF1's? What size tire are you running? what tire are you running? how much camber?

I am going to assume your running around a 255 tire, agressive street tire, ~ .5 negative?

am i right?



If so, that would explain some of the tire flex I see.

I'm actually running 18X8.0...stock offset, and 235 tires all around
and the camber is F -2.8~3.0 R -2.5~2.8
And the Federal 595RS tire is good !! cheap and grip

I woud love to do a track day, but right now I am getting a little low on money. been doing to many mods on the miata. so for now I will only be autocrossing. once more money becomes available I will.
Also I need a roll bar right?

Fast & Furious / PUMA Competition

Hi guys,

I entered a sticker competition yesterday, basically I have to copy an existing PUMA shoe onto my car, here is what I came up with:





I didn't win though, but it was fun working on this project ... The winner was another RX8 from my club.

Some web coverage:

That actually looks really cool. Can you remove the CF patch over the rear wheel and repost. Or can someone do a photochop?

Japan GT Roadshow

Thanks Rotr8! I joined another competition recently organized by the Japan GT Race that's going to be coming to Sepang International F1 Circuit next month... it was a marketing roadshow side-event, and I made it to the finals which means my car will be displayed at the circuit during the race in the end of June... Hopefully there will be a lot of picture taking with Japanese GT Queen models, and hope I get to win some of the prizes like tires, rims, etc...

Here are some shots from the event:



A picture during the police escorted convoy from the meet-up spot to the event location. Actually the only time that 60 japan imports were allowed to rev it up a federal highway... good fun



LOL, looks like my car is being pulled over by the cops... actually the end of the police escorted convoy.



A shot of the participants...



This a picture of my friend Wendy, she owns a black RX8...

The front lip is going come off next week coz I just received my new bumper... previously I was going for the INGS+1, but changed my mind, and I now have a Fujita Engineering (Feed) piece... going for fitment and spraying this week...
