Dlum - Low, low, low! Is there a gap between your front bumper, or it just the angle?

 

I see a dent on the rear wheel arch! *shivers*

 

and the headlight?? i think that's just the angle. the bumper and hood alignment is a bit off though. don't feel like fixing it yet hahahh. too lazy xD

 

lolol on the front too x.x it's on my list of "to fix" hahah

 

Oh, I meant the hood. I know some cars have the hood gap a little more than others.

Super flush fitment either way

 

oooo yeah i has some hood gap x.x but it doesn't bother me much. i may eventually try to fix it with some washers or something like that one of these days

 

Sevenstock is around the corner, let's see how many photos of Powertrix rx8's show up then! Soon there will be 16 of us out in the wild

 

 

Autocross pics.

 

Awesome, how'd it go that day?

 

It went alright. This is only my second autocross event but I got 3rd in the Novice class out of about 10 people. I suck at autocross though lmao, it's seat time but I'd MUCH rather be out on a road course.

 

Yeah, I hear ya. Only done two with my 8 yet too, but I've not been in novice. Been trying to get the most seat time, but I can't wait for next season, HPDE time. =)

But congrats on it!

 

Finally got mine installed last night. I had some clunking when I went to take a test drive when I went over bumps. Turns out I didn't tighten the passenger side rear coilovers height adjustment tight enough. So it just came undone and that was what made the clunking noise. These are my first set of coilovers so it has been an experience, to say the least. Last night was a long night, I stayed up till 10 installing them by myself, then from 10 to 1230 trouble shooting the problem, but couldn't figure it out. So this morning I pulled the wheel off and unloaded the spring, and accidently touched the height adjustment lock and it moved. Anyways, all is good now. The ride is amazing, the car feels more "sturdy", my wife said. Only thing I'll have to get used to is it feels harder to turn the steering wheel.

 

here is how mine is looking at the moment going to drop about another inch tonight, and these coilovers made my rims sink now lol

 

Max drop on the front, about a half an inch I could drop it on the rear. And, omg. I already broke one rear mudflap, and I've been dragging the mess out of the fronts. I've gotta raise mine up some tomorrow, haha. As awesomesauce as it is, it's totally not a good ride height for autocross.

If you look closely, despite the bad angle, you can see how much negative camber's in there! It's ridiculous, haha.

Went to get aligned at Firestone, and they couldn't even get my car in the bay for it. Again, impractical, but SO awesome. Is it bad it gave me a feeling of satisfaction hearing that my car was too low for them to get it in?

Not keeping it that low still, except maybe for occasional photoshoots if I feel like being helladropped, but having them on max drop for a day, has made my day.

We'll see how they perform on tires that needed replacing before the season even began..

Btw, tire size is 245/40/18.

 

^^ I had to get mine alligned at a place that had cut out there floor and put the lift/alignment equipmnet flush with the floor it is a feeling of satisfaction to get turned away for being too low though haha. Here are some pic of mine even though I am HELLAsunk atm.

 

BTW I did autocross at this ride hieght with no issues besides my rears being too stiff(my own fault) speaking of - Hey Tilt any info on a solution to my problem?

 

Rigo your car looks awesome get you some spacers and it will be money.

I need to do that myself but havent really have the time to shave the bumper tabs and it will destroy my fender if i put spacers right now.

 

Thanks man! :D I'm looking for spacers as we speak..lol..and ill post more pics up later, I dropped it some more in the front..lol

 

Looking good everyone! Indeed, dropping the car a good amount will tuck the wheels in. Spacer time!

Hopefully I will have something to help you out soon

 

Nice pic's everybody...

some of you guys should start lookin into new sets of wheels

 

wanna help me decide......
Volk RE30...18x9 +35 or +40
MR116...18x9 +35
OZ HLT...18x9 +40

 

already am..lol...

 

ok this is how she sits now, lowered the front a bit, and im 50/50 on the rear, kinda wanna drop more, and kinda dont

 

I'm working on new wheels, definitely wanting a set of white Advan TCII's. Just gotta save that $2,000 up, haha. Then get two sets of tires(Daily and track).

Did an autocross today as well, I'll have the video up by Monday. A definite improvement over stock, but I also removed the rear sway(And have the massive AP 32mm solid front sway), for my entire list of mods, rofl. But, honestly, it felt like a whole new car with these.
