Hey what's up, I just traded in my 02 Celica today for a 05 RX-8. It is a 6 speed Grand Touring with 48k. It has a Racing Beat exhaust and REVi intake on it. So far I love the car. I want to wax it and get it cleaned up and then I'm going to get better pictures of it.






and a couple shots with my Celica at the dealer



and this was what my Celica looked like before I traded it in

 

welcome to the club. dont miss any oil changes

 

Thanks


I washed and waxed my car today and stopped on my way to work to snap a few pictures

 

very nice! any mods on the list?

 

 

comgrats and welcome to the club nice color choice now let the mods begin

 

Congrats!! I see your from Pittsburgh too, what part? I see a few 8's riding around here.

 

Thanks!

I'm definitely going to mod the car, I just have no idea where to start

Thanks!


Thanks!

I'm south west of Pittsburgh

 

First thing i would do is a nice drop. the racing beat midpipe sounds great with that exhaust and you can shoot some flames.

 

Nice and congrats on the car!

And I just realized, it looks like your car has different tires in the front than in the back...

 

I want to get coil overs for it, but I probably won't be doing that for a long time. The roads are pretty bad around here so I can't make the car too much lower

Thanks!

The car has different tires on the front and back. On the front they are Nankang tires, and the back are Bridgestone Potenzas

 

Cool, I am north of Pittsburgh about 10-15 mins from downtown. The Pittsburgh threads haven't been very active. Glad to see another PA RX-8 owner!!!

 

i test drove that car!!!

just about a week ago. there is a recall open on it so you know.

its from baigler in butler right?

what did you pay for it?

have fun with it thought. it drove nice. i am waiting on mine from ohio. getting it tomorrow cant wait

 

I'm about 10-15 minutes away from downtown too

It's from Baglier in Butler. I had everything taken care of before I bought it. I knew about the recall and it had a check engine light when I looked at it. They fixed everything and it runs great now. I noticed the caliper looks messed up too. I'll touch that up when I take the wheels off. I did that to my Celica and that caliper paint doesn't hold up very good. When I went there I was looking at that Whitewater Pearl one that they had, but I wanted something with lower miles and this one has all the options I wanted. I paid around $15,400 out the door, but I owed a $1000 more than what my Celica was worth. I'm very happy with it so far and I'm having a blast driving it.

 

I was off today so I went out and took more pictures of my car.

 

very nice, welcome. from the looks of your celica, you'll fit right in here by taking good care of your 8!

 

Thanks!

 

Congrats and welcome!!

 

Excellent choice in color.

Looks like it already has suspension mods done to it. I also see the calipers painted red.

 

Hey i got a question.. What do you think the lowest drop is that I could do and still get around in Pittsburgh? Do you think 2 inch would be too much?

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

I wouldn't go more than an inch with the way the roads are here.

 

welcome to the club!

 

Thanks!


I'm going to be getting my windows tinted next week!

 

Thats really funny, i had a 2001 Toyota Celica GT 5 speed until january when i crashed it and switched to my RX-8 lol! Im sooooooooooo much happier with this car!!!

 

ah, cant wait to get mine!
