My New Winning Blue RX8
Hey guys,
I did it. Got an 8. Check it out. We built it in a day. It was tiring but seriously worth it. I get more looks in this car from Vette owners, grandmas and pops, and kids than any of the other 20+ cars I've had. LOL!!! It's crazy. Gotta be the color and the KIT IS JUST UNGODLY GORGEOUS.
I am running Zeal Coilovers, Endless Brakes, Mazdaspeed kit, 19" AME Japan wheels, 9's and 10's, espelir exhaust, and K&N intake. Let me know what you guys think. I'll take pics of the exhaust tomorrow.

Dude, my wife and I are trying to keep ourselves from buying an RX-8 right now....this really isn't helping! 
That thing is hot as hell. The wheels look amazing, I'd say they make more of an impression on the look of the car than the bodykit.

I'm very jealous, good job on the car though!

Nice ride man. I would love to buy a car, take it home, and put my kit, wheels, and whatever else I had on it.

I meant more like, I have owned up to about 20 cars. The brakes are available. WE make a brake kit, which is everything minus the rotor, as well as a system kit which includes an Endless Rotor.
The Brake kit I purchased retails for $2460.00. I can offer to the board guys for $2200.00 plus shipping. For those of you not familiar with Endless Brake systems or "Why they are so expensive", will have to wait for my tech posts on their products. It is the reason for picking up this vehicle. I'm ARD T2, FYI, on the RX7club.com. Been a veteran there helping with Footwork tuning for past 5+ years.
Here's some pics of my other cars I have currently. Some are complete, some are Works in progress.
I work for AutoRnD and build cars like this for a living. I am the Footwork consultant here, specializing in custom wheel, tire, brake, and suspension fitments based on the functions for your vehicle.
An example of some of my rotaries, hence Endless Rotaries: I've got two more FC's that I'm building one will be a replica of RE-A's FC2K car with FD motor. The Tripoint widebody is getting a LS1/T56 combo early next year for Time Attack. These are my Mazdas. I've got two silvias, a S13 Widebody and a S14 Zenki, along with a AE86 GTS Corolla, the P5 got traded in for a Scion xA which is our last picture. Oh and of course our Tahoe Tow Vehicle, not pictured here. LOL!!!
I posted these pictures up here so that you guys can see we are a reliable source for practical and real experience information. It is THE REASON I have built all these various vehicles. It has allowed us to gain a wealth of knowledge. We have made attempts to bring very high quality products to the RX8 community without success. Now that we own one we're hoping that it will help push the movement into rare extremely high quality race proven parts for these cars. They are not cheap and they are second to none. hehe.
Thanks for all the wonderful compliments guys. I love the fact that we can fit kids in the back of the 8, yet is still sporty enough to be my fountain of youth.
Laters, Rishie

WE have definitely worked with MSP. Here is an example of one:
This gentleman lives in Hawaii, but we've provided him several of his parts.
You gotta let me know what you're trying to do with the car so that I can spec it out properly.
Thanks, Rishie

Welcome to the neighborhood bro. I love the winning blue. Since I've had my car, I think I may have gotten at least 10 complements a day and 20 stares because of the way it looks. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Yups it's the ****.
Yo so I just got pics of my Espelir exhaust here you guys go:
I will run a special on this exhaust system. I need to get a MPG for you guys of how it sounds. I'll see if we can do that right now.
Thanks, Rishie
