They sure do, fortunately this '04 I have now has just over 20k, unfortunately there are plenty of other places to spend money. I'm gonna try to keep mine for the long haul but we will see. I sure would miss having it. A GT4 would definitely ease the pain though.

I am actually just now selling my NA to fund a new DD and my TurboII I just bought.




Clean looking 8, I like it.


My car at IFO St. Louis



My new to me 1989 Turbo II

 

Nice FC, I love those Turbo IIs!

 

Thanks RX8inSTL, yours looks pretty sweet too. That FC isn't bad either, lol. Very Nice

 

 

I know that feeling I have taken breaks before as well. Just rejoined FB actually.

Heres more of my car.

 

It's perfect.

 

Still learning about this "DSLR" thing...

 

Finished installing my splitter and larger heat exchanger over the winter. quite a few changes under the hood too.

 

Very nice!!

Do you have any pictures of underneath the hood?

 

I've seen RX8inSTL's car build progress in the flesh over the past few years at DGRR. I must say its the cleanest well built 8 I have seen next to Rote8's.

However, I do find myself questioning the judges decisions this year.

No disrespect to first and third placing's.


firecan"s 8 for taking first place, his REW swapped 8 which is a pretty cool car. Third place being a VR with a roof rack and v for vendetta face masks on the headrests of its seats. To each their own I guess.


Finding the MazdaSpeed thing is getting a bit boring. Everyone is paying out the *** for these over inflated used so called rare parts to put on there cars. Every time at a meet or driving down the street everyman and his dog has one. There will be at least one or two that are genuine parts but the majorities are pretty **** poor fakes.


RX8inSTL's has taken the genuine mazdaspeed to the next level. To have the ***** to modify a rare part kudos to him.


In my opinion his car should have been awarded first place.


Keep up the good work Adam gorgeous car.

 

I do have quite a few actually.





Thanks for the compliment, I had a good time talking with you at DGRR again. Did you enter your car in the show that is something I wondered? One thing I always liked about coming to DGRR was the fact that it is judged by enthusiast that have the same types of cars, as opposed to most shows where there are all types of vehicles. Also unfortunately everyone has their own opinions. Crans car is sweet though and I've seen all the work he has been putting into it. As for DGRR I will be back and one day I'll get 1st place 8, but until that time comes ill still enjoy it for every other reason that I have. Most importantly seeing everyone's rotaries from all over in one place for that weekend.

I still have a lot I want to do with the car but things will continue slowly as always due to money and time. Hope to talk to see you again at the Dragon.

 

Your car is one of the few where I am 100% down for the wheelgap. ;P very purpose built machine looking great!

 

So much WANT right there!

 

Thanks, funny thing is with the MS bumper and splitter I still have clearance issues at times. Plan to switch to 265s when these tires are through.

Im glad you like it. I appreciate it.

 

A little teaser

 

I don't have a DSLR with me, but I can make do. I kind of miss taking night shots, so this is the best I can do to emulate one.

 

Authentic INGs? It looka good.

 

Of course . With a little bit of my flair with the shaved corner lights

 

Here are a few pics of the 05 Titanium Grey Metallic rescue project I picked up last night:

 

A few updated pics after the new engine went in:

 

Recent newbie, purchased from literally... Little old lady, 76 yrs young, bought by her recently deceased husband as original owner, 14,000 miles. TOTALLY stock, 6 Speed and true....
ALL REAL CARS HAVE THREE PEDALS.

a GREAT summer cruiser here in Michigan.

 

 

Just hoping to get some input as i get mods added. Authentic skirts are on the way and authentic MS spoiler is getting dipped for CF look to go with Seibon TS hood that is ordered. Would also like others thoughts on dipping skirts and trunk lid to give a CF look without chance of bad cf fit, i like to go mazda when i can. Or stay all titanium grey? I do love that all grey look, but kind of think af accents would help me stand out.

Thanks guys, go easy on me lol.
Noob

 

I dont have any fancy/artsy photos, just snapped these in the driveway.

It still looks good. Luckily for me my Fiance is always getting pictures for me.
