Thank you all for being so welcoming. I greatly appreciate everyones tips and advice (and compliments). I would actually like to sell these wheels and put some volks on it sometime for those of you who mentioned the wheels. I havent looked into their values yet so I wouldnt want to post a price but will gladly take offers via PM if anyones seriously interested. Being 19's I know theyre not cheap wheels. So far 52 miles on them.

Im not so much a fan of the super low profile tires. I like a little more rubber. The roads around here suck and I hate having to swerve around to avoid everything. I like a 50 profile a lot so I may need to step down to 18s unless they make a 19 with 50 profile.

For now, I will get the windows tinted and will get some precut headlight and tail light films at DecalFX to complete the "blacked out" look on the car. I might get some of their yellow lens film to make the foglights yellow, but not sure yet. Maybe just smoke everything. Should look pretty stealthy after that (minus the white license plate)

Thanks again guys!

 

Superb Mate..
Welcome to the Club, and enjoy your stay..
YOU LUCKY BUGGA!

Sell your Wheels...Prepared for a RUSH of PM's...

I have heard that the 19" low Profiles are very firm, even slightly noisy (road noise) because of the lack of rubber...almost like bicycle rims/tires!
I know here in Australia the rims are $1400.00 each, probably around 1100.00 US plus the tires!

 

BTW as far as replacing the Exhaust, any performance gains are very minimal if at all, unless you want to change exhaust note, or a more chrome look, don't expect any HP gain either as the factory have done a good job here too.

 

50! are you kidding?? that will throw out the speedo unless youre running something like 16s!

 

congrats on the new facelifted just take a good care for it

 

sexy. i want

 

Congrats. Curious though, why did you buy new? Any particular reason you did not want a pre-owned?

Also there's much debate on what gas you can run. Personally I switch off between 89 and 91. I have an 04'.

 

Awesome man very nice!

Wanna trade seats? lolll

 

Congratulations, welcome and looks great.

 

That is really nice!

 

welcome to the addiction.. thats what batman should have used for the batmobile

 

X-Men has used RX8 already. Batman probably does not want to be another copy cat...Just my thought...

BTW, I will probably keep the factory 19" wheels for its R3 pkg value.

 

Grats, it looks even better in person! and those recaro's are to die for!

 

Beautiful. Congrats.

 

Dont do any such thing, jesus.

 

Welcome aboard, it will really serve you well to bone-up on some good threads on this forum board. The car will treat you well if you do the same (I'm not talking about babying it either) just understand that the car will need more fluid level checks that you may be used to. Keep it serviced properly and get in a few redlines a day to blow-out carbon buildup. Had my early VIN model for 5+ years still going strong, no major issues.

 

haha well, read up on that too. there's a group of people that swear by 91+, a group in the middle, and a group that swears by using 87. i've used 87 on 99% of all my fill-ups since '04...some techs at the dealer will tell you that 87 is fine for a rotary ... again, it's pretty hotly debated though, just an fyi.

 

welcome to the club .... i like the new stock wheels on the 8 ..... dont to hot on the front plastic thing though on the 2009 .... still hot car

 

Grats , and welcome .

sorry^^ i was wiping off the keyboard hahaha sexy car.

 

Thanks for the advice. If I do exhaust it would really just be for sound. I like the way the stock exhaust sounds for now (until I get sick of it)

 

I bought new because I like new cars and can afford them. Used is kinda of like buying a hooker. I prefer virgins LOL

 

Yes thats a good point. I should just store them when I get new wheels. Thanks

 

very nice man. i want ur seats! welcome to the club!

 

very nice. i love the interior of the R3. and you chose the best exterior color too
