That was my goal. The engineering in a RX-8 is quite comparable to that. Funny thing is most people say the exact same thing about the RX-8 interior. My 16 y/o daughter says to her friends, "Step into the Space Shuttle". They always want to ride in my car...go figure.

Yeah I have some stuff to put on (extreme black fender vents, rotary accent light, side skirts and rear aero flares) and then I will decide on rims.

I wish I could shoot daytime pics, they never come out deep like yours.

^Nice. We have a cool Main Street which is a 2 lane one way road with shops/restaurants and parking on the sides of the road. I love parking my car and sitting on the bench while watching people rubbernecking.

hahah true that. all i was saying is that it's usually pretty rare for girls to ever care about cars... at all. so in that aspect, the rx-8 is truly something special lol

and nj about the vr stuff

Thanks, hopefully I'll be "hellaflush" soon. Still have to put on my fender vents, side skirts, and rear aero flares too. Then the body stuff will be done.

Crazy indeed. Must have been like ice skating. We got about 12" yesterday, I'm not even attempting to get out of the driveway.

lol, yes. i know it's crazy, but they're the only set i got, and i don't have the funds for another atm. usually i don't even bother driving her in the winter here, but i decided to change things up and have some fun for once. although, it was nearly impossible to get going sometimes haha..

Yeah it was in the 50's. Brrrrrrr!!!!

Oh, we installed Tanabe Sustec coilovers on tbk's phantom blue 8. Nice coilovers (can't believe they were $700.00 shipped), not too crazy of a drop. Our group also did coils and plugs on 8maniac's 8 as well.
