Hey everybody, first time postee. Bought my 8 first week out of college four years ago, and have loved it ever since(even when it was in the shop ) I am an industrial designer and concept artist, and have been working for the army for the past 4 years designing future combat systems. My 8 is my first but will not be my last rotary... Decided to start posting now that I've learned alittle bit about the ever expanding universe that is the rotary engine. I won't ever pretend to know more than I post, and probably be contibuting to more esthetic oriented threads, since there are many peope here that know thier stuff when it comes to tech know how.... hope you like it

Nice car and sick looking pics! You should get clear corners as your next mod.

as for the clear corners, Im gonna keep them amber, going for a look that only other RX8 owners would pic up on.... Im also getting all the silver trim pieces within the headlights painted semi-gloss black,,,,,,

The Volks look great man, IMO i think they would go alot better with the MS kit, instead of the Burnout kit. But overall, your car looks great.

Thanks for the comments, Im still green to thread jargin(whats IMO), also yeah I still haven't made the commitment to a full bumper upgrade, its either gonna be the Mazdaspeed or the full R Magic( I love both, I think thats why I havent commited yet)

I assume you mean in Mod Mag cuz I havent seen yours on the road, but thanks, appreciate it coming from you Chrism I always enjoy you comments in the tech threads,,, and good post about your transformation to your new paint scheme, it was because or you that I have a spare trunk and the GTO wing at my body shop and it will be finished next thurs. I m using the third brake light from the wing and getting the OEM light removed and smoothed over......

Rotr8

iTrader: (2)

It was one of my first mods before reading alot about it in the tech threads(in reality not much power gain),,, I noticed a little difference in feel though

chrism

i meant in modified.....im always looking for some ones car in there....thank you for the kind words i was going to shave the third light but instead it lights up with veilside instead...i do have the Holden Monaro wing wired up to work too....im flattered that i could inspire you

is it a mod that is good to get from SR or should i go somewhere else?

Rotr8

iTrader: (2)

I'm gonna say that all the pulleys are gonna produce about 2-4hps even though they claim higher, I chose SR because it was a complete kit, and anodized black, they have several color options but, I liked the black, eventually everything in my engine bay is gonna be black....

Looks great. Very clean.
