HMMN...i put it on myself, lol

Some photos from an autoshow I participated with my club members last weekend :)... my first and had a blast. I did the stickers for the event, wanted to take them off, but I think I'll hold on them for a lil more while... I also dropped my car and inch or so using RS*R downsprings.

AE92 02-17-2009 12:17 AM

ahh i cant decide what kind of rims i want. i definetly watn one with a pilished lip between 1-2 inches wide, but cant decide between gunmetal or black, or pure white. either 5 or 6 spoke

HWK11 02-17-2009 12:27 AM

i say either gunmetal or black 6 spokes

AE92 02-17-2009 12:30 AM

im leaning more toward gunmetal since black paint seems more temperamental to show scratches and imperfections. but i just dont know rims for beans. so i guess im just waiting to see someone elses that looks nice and hope to find a set of those.

zellspeed 02-18-2009 09:17 AM

Hi guys,

This thread is really great, makes researching about ideas for my yellow 8 easier...

My latest project was "matte black-ing" my engine hood & spoiler using vinyl stickers, check it out:

Are you talking about the tire pressure?
I was running around 36psi when it's hot
Is it too low?...
When it's cold, it was around 31

speeddemon32 02-18-2009 05:28 PM

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

speeddemon32 02-19-2009 03:42 PM

gotcha.

well, then I guess those tires do have some pretty good grip. The flex is pretty crazy. way more flen then I got with R-Compounds even.

anywho. cool pictures! nice ride!


It looks like your at willow springs. you should come to an Auto Cross in Fontana some day. :)
I used to rock the 8 in my avatar, now its the miata in the siggy.

speeddemon32 02-22-2009 11:09 AM

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:

http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...98_2206213.jpg

http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...03_2981462.jpg

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?

zellspeed 05-15-2009 07:17 AM

For 09Factor
 
Here it is without the CF part:

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:

http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._4221135_n.jpg

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 :)

http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...37_3557612.jpg

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

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...
