My baby
 
Here she is. Sorry the picture quality is so bad but my camera is only 1 megapixel & it works best in bright light. This was half shadowed outside my house and only a few shots turned out well. Still, hopefully it shows how the colour looks different between shadow and direct sunlight.

When people see this in the rear view mirror they've just been pulling over!

Wing 05-12-2003 07:54 AM

SWEET!!!!!!!!

I would pull over too, AMAZING! Looks Beautifull. I think you just solidified my Titanium Choice! Although Red interior is not an option here for Tit ext. The Red looks great!

Congrats! Lucky GUY!

Red leather's the business.

JSG 05-12-2003 07:57 AM

Sorry I didn't get any with the doors shut!

JSG 05-12-2003 08:01 AM

Check the power bulge in the bonnet. Not sure if everyone realises (I didn't) that it actually is a bulge that is recessed down. So around the bulge is like a groove down into the bonnet. Imagine cutting that shape down into the bonnet and then make a bulge up from that lower level.

You have to love those 18" wheels - one of the my favourite parts.

JSG 05-12-2003 08:10 AM

Pretty close to the model!

Wing 05-12-2003 08:15 AM

Your right, the red leather looks great, from the pre-production I thought it would be kind of gimmicky, but it looks great!

Cihuuy 05-12-2003 08:17 AM

JSG: finnaly you receive your car... very very nice indeed!!! :D
i like the titanium and red combo...

was wondering... is your rear glass tinted or it came from the factory like that???

desmo996 05-12-2003 08:32 AM

Nice!!. I like the titanium. Too bad you guys have to use the front license plate. It disrupts the design.

Do you think the door being open has anything to do with them pulling over?

Cheers and Congrats.

it looks like they are shipping that way. East Moon's was heavily tinted as well... we'll have to wait to see if the US/Can/Euro spec cars come the same way...

Yeah, It's nice and tight, not wrinkled and poor fitting like the pre-production.

ACRX8 05-12-2003 11:06 AM

Nop, he doesn't have one, he was looking for car cover in the FarEast/Asian Section.

JSG, he must be really tired today answering so much of our questions, just helping him out on this.:D

zoom44 05-12-2003 12:03 PM

MaRX8 05-12-2003 02:49 PM

Wow, that it's looks Awesome. Drooool....
I've become addicted to this website, I have to check it at least twice a day now, if not more.

I shot in the dark on the Titan Grey, because there wasn't any pictures on the web of that color when I ordered mine. Just that fugly representaion of it on the Build site.

Wow, it's just absoultely beautiful. I went with the Red Interior also, and I'm very pleased with those pictures of it. WOW!

mUsT haVe CAr NOW!!!!

:D :D

tribal azn2 05-12-2003 02:59 PM

Ditto..

I chose Gray as well, but my immediate impulse was to get the yellow or red because that is all you really see. The demo Yellow with the Yellow/Black leather interior, wow... I would have gotten that in a second if it was offered in the US. I am really happy with the Gray two-tone black & tan leather with the rotary and appearance package, that car is going to be real sweet when it arrives...

Keep the pictures coming, they are great!

RX-Nut 05-12-2003 07:37 PM

darn, I'm beginning to wish I had chosen the leather interior over my cloth...... the red looks divine...

what do you folks think, is it too late to change? :(

Gamera 05-13-2003 03:28 AM

BEAUTIFUL! Great pics JSG! I'm glad to see the wrinkle in leather around the shoulder padding is gone in the production seats.

Aeterna 05-13-2003 09:19 PM

Hey JSG, where can I ... ?
 
Hey, where can I get one of those RX-8 models shown in one the earlier reply posts?

It is the cooolest thing I've seen, and where I live, no one else I've met knows/appreciates the '8 yet.

(I live in the city that time forgot...)

I'd love to order one if at all possible. Your help would be greatly appreciated.


(It's all part of my plan to take over the world... bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

(Somebody slap me if the 'bwah ha's' become too excessive)

MPester 05-13-2003 09:55 PM

JSG - that's a great color compo. Decision gets harder each day. Shall I get Titanium or Nordic Green :confused:

I'll just have to wait until I see them in person, then.

Someone posted that you can get the models on e-bay I think.

Nordic Green for me is just too dark. To me it looks black.

ed hall 05-14-2003 04:05 PM

don't like any dark colour on any car. The silver does it for me. Shows the lines off better.

Z's Nightmare 05-14-2003 07:53 PM

For me i would stick with the titanium :D

miata2rx8 05-15-2003 07:02 AM

That titanium is beautiful- wow- must...convince...self...that the silver will look just as good!

AnilS 05-15-2003 11:09 AM

JSG, you lucky, lucky man. I too have ordered the same colour but we in Britian are only allowed Black leather with this colour. The car looks beautiful.
Thought about moving the front plate to the side to show off the grille better ?


AnilS

Brian1f1 05-16-2003 10:21 PM

I went with the silver so I could get the red leather, I believe silver and titty gray are the best on this car.

m477 05-16-2003 10:36 PM

Sweet.

So do you get lots of stares and attention in Japan, or do people consider the car "just another domestic." :p

dreamgetter1 05-19-2003 05:24 PM

Congrats JSG, are those floor matts stock it looks like they have aluminum inserts?

jayrep 05-21-2003 02:58 PM

Great looking car
 
I ordered my car in the same color, except for all black interiors, it looks great.........it's a beauty.

Haris 05-24-2003 10:53 PM

Doesn't that rotor on the hood sopposed to pop out? in first few pics, it looks like yours is like carved in the hood.

It's rotor symbol is not pop out on the hood, it recess along the rotor shape and ends up pretty much the same level as the hood in the middle of the symbol, thus giving people a visual confuse of it looking like a bulge similar of that to a miata.
