Hey guys, somewhat new to this website. i have a 2004 nordic green rx8! I want to customize it some more because it is all stock. I want to get the calipers painted but i dont know which color goes well with the green. Any thoughts or opinions? Images would be great! thank you =]

Here's my NG. I posted photos when I first got her, but here is an updated one.

No $$ for any major mods, trying to get out of the apt. and into a house.

Hanging on to my 8 though, selling her is NOT an option. Although, I am looking into a nice set of springs to lower the stance a bit.

Enjoy, it's one of my favorites!

Nordic Green, Tein H-Tech, Tokico D-Spec.

Going to add data to the associated DIY threads, including measurements, but if you want to see what a $180 set of springs does, here is one option. According to the boards, the front and back both have to settle about another half an inch.

Thats the same suspension setup i want to go with on mine. I think it makes it look good but nothing to crazy on the drop. Plus, i have hte R-Magic front which really likes to scrape the way it sits stock.

04 Green... looks good so far, another 1/2 inch will look good... $180 u say??

that is tempting my friend...

(I'm not your friend, buddy)

Sorry, I had to...

I'm finally posting up pics of my ride, now that she has had a complete mechanical makeover. There's a few cosmetic changes, too, but the good stuff is coming this spring.

^Looks great man. Love the wheels, same ones as allucard good choice.

Also what Exhaust do you have? looks sexxy. And Might want to take some Mothers "Back to Black" on those shrouds they are looking a little grey..

Never L8

iTrader: (5)

^Damn man...you hit everything!

I was going to detail those shrouds with exactly that product, but i didn't plan on taking pics of the back. BUSTED!

And yeah, same wheels as Alucard's. They are pure sex and he is the reason I'm riding on them. Love those things! Thanks!

Oh, and the exhaust is Forza Tuning (i.e. OBX-R) with an RB Supercat. It sounds respectably nice, although I get hesitant to tell people what it is out of fear of flammage. It's actually an incredibly nice exhaust for the price.

yeah I had the OBX straight pipe on my 8 for a bit, wasnt too bad just the fitment was off by 1/4" was really a pain to deal with.

Did they update the obx catback the last time I saw it the tips were shorter and melted the shrouds.

iTrader: (5)

REALLY?!? Wow. I have absolutely no issues with mine at all. I guess I got lucky.

I'm not sure why they would have changed it. Mine are the PERFECT length. Fitment for me was 10 of 10. Although, when I bolted up the supercat, it did extend the overall length of the system. The supercat is a bit longer than the OEM cat, so it consequently pushed everything back a little bit. Other than having to bend up the heat shield so the muffler didn't rattle on it, I have no complaints. Even with the OEM cat, the length seemed perfect. Hmmmmm...

well i didnt get the exhaust system only the mid pipe. The fitment was off when it was paired with my JIC Titanium exhaust, which ultimately broke was such a sad day for me.

That straight sucks! Believe me, I know bad days with this car. Today happens to be a good day, finally.

adamwzl

iTrader: (3)

hah yeah, the main thing is that catback system retails around 2k ughh. So I guess its time to save for the stainless catback and leave the stock catback on for a while.


but car is looking good. What are the changes coming up in spring??

Never L8

iTrader: (5)

Thanks! That's mad coin for that exhaust.

Spring brings a bodykit (MS probably), forced induction, an integrated sundress remover, and loades of pure hotness. Some wheels spacers wouldn't hurt, either.

You should replace your shocks when you get new springs as well. Best three options are Bilstein HD's, Tokico D-specs, or Koni Yellows.

iTrader: (5)

^True dat. Koni Yellows are on the list, but I'm going to ride out the OEM shocks for now. Thank you for the suggestions. I really appreciate it.

I took a few more pics, same location and angles. It's crazy how different the paint looks in different lights. That's why I LOVE this color.

Oh, and compliments of adamwzl, she got a coat of wax and the plastic was detailed!
