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
