Jazzmeson's Simple Shinka Build
 

Hey all, I just felt like sharing my car and how much it has progressed in the last couple of years of ownership. I'm a bit on the conservative side when it comes to modding the interior and exterior since I want to keep a lot of the elements that makes it a Shinka. I went for a look that balances show and functionality since I take the car to the track and autocross several times a year for fun. It's somewhat of a slow progress, but it's getting closer to where I want it to be. :)

Does my Rotary Lounge pillow count as a mod? It's great for sleeping in between track sessions. :yelrotflm I'm very happy with the progress of my car so far and will continue to add some stuff slowly, but surely. Several people I really want to thank for helping me out and giving me advice since I got the car are gregs, \\Konig\\, Lebren, Atilla, k__9virus, kdoiron08, and a lot of research and information on RX8Club.

Very clean. Keep it up! Also love the NT03 wheels!

Nice man, refreshing to see such a clean build. Well done.

Thank you guys, I appreciate it. :) I love my NT03s, took almost two months to get them, but it was worth the wait.

Your welcome for the photos =]

I agree with 9krpm, I love seeing tastefully modded 8's with a good flowing theme.

Nice looking car and love how clean you're engine bay is. :biggthump

Thank you guys, and no thanks to \\Konig\\. Just kidding, more mods to come!

just needs a tint and youre golden .. nice build. Glad to see people with good taste still exist lol.

Thanks! I've been on and off about tinting, mainly because I like how the Shinka interior is easily visible. At the same time, I do want to do dark tint since it goes well with the color. Argh! Decisions, decisions.

if you ever decide to get rid of that creme interior and seats, let me know lol

Unlikely to happen, but I'll keep you in mind my friend, haha.

Clean ride man, looks great!

Hi do you still have the car? I'm also in LA and would like to view a BCM in good condition up close in person. Can you help a fellow rotorhead out?
