sorry guys, I hate to keep posting pics of the same car, but here is a new updated picture of the car with the new wing and wheels. :)

^^^ sweet ride speeddemon. Hiros are all over the place though, but it does look nice. Good job.

I am not sure if I posted any pics on this thread so here are some :icon_tup:

Thanks Zoom, yeah I have heard of a couple people with Hiro's, and seen one other (he is in out monthly meeting) seeing those wheel on his car in person made me decide those are the wheels I wanted!!! (although I hate to copy him) I would like to see your car in person, as with broke Apex.


Broke Apex, I know the Mazda speed body kit is "played out" but man I swear that is the best body kit for the RX-8, It looks soooooooo sweet. I only wish my car had the entire MS body kit, but then again I would have to raise the car back up. ;) car looks great man! diggin the wheels to!


Zoom, you have a pic of your front bumper????

here ya go I was a ss8 too.

OHHH OK!!!!! yeah i saw your car alot! I took plenty of pics of it. you were parked about 7 cars up from me. I LOVE that front bumper, makes it look like a ferrari. man thats a sweet ride!

speeddemon ... those rims are great!

All these yellow 8's make me want to get another 8 (yellow of course ... anybody wanna give me theirs?)

Thanks! Hopefully I see you this year :)

Are you planning on installing a kit too? That drop would make it real hard to get any type of kit though lol.

yeah thats what I was saying a couple post up. I would have to go back up if i get any kit installed. sucks, because I kinda like the way it looks all lowered. I have not seen to many lowered 8's around.

not to mention I dont know when I will have the money to do it, but the short answer is yes. when i get a kit, I will go back up. :)

if there is another seven stock, I will keep an eye out for you.

Wow, I thought I had yellow in my car! Were the control panels on the steering wheel part of a kit or did you do those yourself? I've seen the rest of the dash kit, but not those parts.

They were part of the kit... nice quality kit, I was impressed.

i love the yellow rx8 too. it´s the greatest colour for the car... :wink2:

sorry for my bad english - i am from germany...

iv'e given up.. i live on a dirt road.. i'm tired of washing her ever other day.. :(

I agree. Yellow gets too dirty all the time. I wash it one day and it's back to shit within 2 days max. Never had this problem with Titanium Gray.

In fact I was pretty pissed after New Years because I waxed the car on the 30th of December. On January 1st in the morning my car was covered in all types of fire cracker/fire work related shit. The wax was basically pointless.

From now on I'm only washing once every weekend or other weekend.. and waxing once every 6 or 7 months. I just don't care enough nor have the motivation to maintain the insane upkeep that some of these other bastards on here do.

I own a Yellow and wash it about every two weeks. While light collard cars ‘seem’ to get dirty fast they look good longer than dark colored cars. My last two cars were black and they looked worse the days after a wash than my Yellow does.

I have a LY and think it stays relatively cleen. As long as it doesn't rain it looks good for at least a week. I wash it everyweek during the summer and once a month in the winter. I don't drive it much during the winter. I also keep it covered at night and when I don't drive it. That seems to work pretty good in keeping it cleaner. I'm very carefull in checking for dirt before using the cover.

I haven't washed mine since november 1st . The car is spotless.

It's stored for the winter ;)

SHWING!

he he, we need more pics like this!

...and i have imperative to wash my car. at the moment it looks like a yellow-black rx8 ... but the weather in germany is too bad and we have ten degrees of frost :tear:

nightracer13, I like the wing. which one is that?.... also liked the girly pictures! cant ever get enough pictures of girls on an RX-8! :Freak_ani

This is the "ATH X-treme - Wing".

Did you already visit my homepage ? There are more pics of the girls on my RX-8...

yes i did look at the site, from the looks of it, you had 2 differant girls posing..... kinda hard to navagate in a web site that you cant read. :) but i did look at all the pics. Anastasia was pretty easy to look at, but the other one seemed like it redirected me to another site.... still got to see them though.

The Pics of Fabienne are list in a flash-album. So you have to install the Macromedia Flash Player. If you look at "Media" you will find some wallpapers of Anastasia and Fabienne...

oh ok, I will look some more..... no problem with looking more ;)

This is my Yellow 'un. Had it since '03. Very pleased with it.
Thought i'd pop in and say hello. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...dsMazda005.jpg

Well it looks like I'm fixing to be the crazy one and will be the first with a yellow X-men wing. I don't have it yet (ordered it last week) but will post pics as soon as I get it installed. I'm sure I will get flamed to all hell, but damn it I want to be different. These are some pics I shot a few hours ago to add my 8 to the list. All I've done to it so far is audio upgrades (custom enclosures 2 10" Kicker Subs and a 650 Kicker amp, and the fancy volume knob over in the GB section) I eventually want a set of staggered black HP evo's (or any similar Y style rim) but that got put on hold thanks to my expensive audio. I just recently got rid of my chrome feul door in favor of a stock yellow one. Hope you guys enjoy. Both pics make good desktops.

Number 2

I have a yellow one with the factory appearance package wing on it. Would anyone that is wingless like to trade. I need one without a wing so i can install the new wing without filling holes and painting it. Figure ill do one last before i sell it.

Naturally a "local" trade would be best, but if i had to drive a while im fine with that, ro shipping is a possibility.

hope you got this resolved KY

Heh...just found this thread. Sorry to chime in late :crying: I've had mine since Aug of last year, and have loved every minute of it.
:beer05:

Pete.... any new pics? looks great :rock: , Just want to see it lowered now! any word on wheels?

i like the black my self but speeddemons yellow one is one of the cleanest ive seen around

Thanks Speed!

I'll take shots soon of it lowered and with the new exhaust tips soon. I didnt' want to purchase an enitre new exhaust system . I find that the OEM exhaust pkg is fine . Nice and quite. For Rims.... I was looking at picking up some Axis Hiros, but i'm swaying toward multispoke. I'm really starting to like them . The axis hiros look great on yours!!

thanks rotarydude! do I know you? i see you are from San Bernardino.

Pete, I obviously love the Hiro's. a friend of mine has the 19: staggered setup on his, I loved the way thay looked so much I went witht he same wheel (but 18" due to the drop) I have always been a 5 star fan. any pics of a wheel you are interested in? I also almost when with a tuner style wheel.

cant wait for the pics! :yesnod:



again I hate to post so many pics on this thread but I contantly have new pics of the car. here are the latest pics with the new STRAKES... stock wheels because of the slicks. (Axis are daily drivers) :boink:

great racing pics. The Springs are settling in. I'll take pics in a week or so .... Not a extreme drop , but a tighter feel on turns!

How come everyone ignores black cherry mica? There are at least 2,000 of us out there. :mdrmed:

he he he, I think there is a calling all Shinka thread........ almost 100% sure

in fact here it is.... https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/calling-all-black-cherry-shinkas-56131/

Ok, so I didn't want to start a new thread on this and I'm sure at least one of the visitors of this post will know. I read from an unworthy source today that there were only 1000 yellows shipped stateside. I know we are a rare color, but damn only 1000? That's only 20 per state. I doubt I've seen more than that and the number is feasable. But hell if it's true, it's bragging rights right?

I too belive 1,000 is rather low! It was one of the least produced colors, but I am sure it's more then 1,000.

anyone have true info on this?


oh and that would be 200 per state, not 20. :) ......... crap maybe that is right then.....?????????

I Just Love Yellow.
 

Hi Guys,,, Here is mine, I just posted these also under < New MS Spoiler Installed>

Erm... not exactly. 200x5=1000 Last I checked we have 50 states. Now I'm no good at math and double checked with my handy dandy cell phone calculator and 1,000(number of "proposed" yellows)/50(number of STATES)=20. Can we have some bean counters verify this one for me. These are some staggering figures we are working with here. All kidding aside, any one know any official numbers as to how many yellows there are?

Mjones... lookin good! I personally love the yellow with the Mazdaspeed wing! :) he he

always wondered what the yellow would look like with the yellow strakes. I went with the silver.... not bad though.

There can't only be 1000 Yellows. I'm pretty sure there is some old post buried on here that has the production numbers of colors. Supposedly there were only 2150 Black Cherry Shinkas that were produced last year. You're trying to tell me that they produced less of an "ordinary" color from the first year, than their "special edition" color? I doubt that.

the number for yellows is somewhere around 2600, I can't recall where I found that out, but I definitely remember reading it somewhere, I think my salesperson even mentioned that number 4 years ago when I was looking at what ened up as my car.

That sounds reasonable. I just recently saw another Yellow 8 here where I'm stationed in Jacksonville NC, I was PISSED. I was so happy being the only one. Other than that the 8's I've seen here on base have been pretty varied - red, white, blue, and black, and then myself. The other yellow I haven't seen on base yet, just out in town. Those numbers sound right though. Still pretty rare. Puts a :) on my face.

I've only seen 2 other yellows in this city in three years. Both were way the hell north of where I live. As far as I'm concerned, as long as I don't venture to those areas too often, I'm the only one.

new pics of yellow
 

new pics of my old yeller with new tires and rims and chrome side vents.

That's a nice unified look. Have you thought of chroming the door handles? :D

Here is my RX-8. Tell me what you guys think
