It actually had tint when I bought it. I had them take it off, because I thought the dark windows took away from the dark wheels. Personally, I think it looks a lot better without it.

 

hmmm interesting way to look at it, i suppose i would have to see a tinted r3 to see what your talking about.

 

 

 

Some update photo of my ride.

 

I see you used the same heat reflective foil idea. Nice work!

 

Yes, the heat foil work pretty well in deflecting heat away from fuse box and ECU box. I only wish I could have gold ones like yours. By the way, your car is very very clean and I admired your car. Job well done!

 

 

Thanks. My plan is to go FI once my warranty runs out. Yours came out awesome!

 

Umm....you just posted those pics again?

 

Thanks Altspace. Do you know what set up you are going to go with? Good luck with your build. I would recommend that you use after market apex seals instead of the stock seals. I have Esmeril Apex seals on mine and it has been great so far. I never has degnation but I got 3 bad bang bang bang misfire during tuning (rev limiter was set at 8500 intead of 9200) and nothing happen to the engine. I would imagine that with stock seals the engine would be wasted already. And run methanal too for safety net.

 

oops, haha.

 

 

as soon as i get rims i will post up some pics, however atm i have blizzaks on still.. even though its been 50+

(i've been driving the moped in hopes of not wearing my tires down lol)

 

 

Photo from our mini meet in MN over the weekend.

 

Looking good. I can't wait to have my MS kit finished.

 

Thanks alspace. Mazdaspeed kit, to me, is the best looking kit out there.

 

Indeed. I think it's mostly because they designed it to flow with the cars design and has actual proven wind force distribution to maximize down force.

Got any vids of your beast in action? Would love to see and hear it.

Here is the link to the video. Car was running on winter map at 8 psi. The tune was very conservative. I change the spring on the BOV now it sounds different than on the video.

 

Who makes those side skirts?

 

Here's a few from my cell phone. I'll take some better ones soon...she also kinda needed a bath at the time.

Finally took some shots of my RX-8 I picked up a month ago:














(I <3 the color of my car.)


(I also <3 my gauge cluster.)

'04 Base with a Borla cat-back, Mazdaspeed shift-****, and a K&N intake (that I'm too lazy to install lol).
