figured I would post and say Hi...I have been a Volkswagen guy for the past 10 years and decided to change it up a bit and picked up an RX8 last week. I must say it is great car and very pleased with it.

but it is a 2005 Winning Blue, 6spd, ground kit, xenon, and leather heated seats. Just got it tinted and put on the mazdaspeed exhaust(pics do not show exhaust)





I have been busy getting parts for the last week

Picked up a mazdaspeed exhaust, Tein S tech springs, front mud guards, and some 18x8 Moda EB1 wheels for a few months...when summer comes there will be a different set.



Waiting for a warmer day to get all these parts on and I will update the thread.

some may like and some may not, but my past VW's and these are only 2 of them. Dont need to clutter the thread with these.

Welcome to the addiction! Nice VW's you had there. If you live near the philly area you should come to one of our meets when the weather gets alittle nicer. If your not from the area I'm sure you can find a nice gathering somewhere close to you. One of the best things about owning a rotary is the community but seeing as your a VW guy you came from a good following as well. GL on your rotary adventures! Oh and one thing you MUST do atleast once, is take the car out on the track someday. You wont regret it!

 

Welcome to 8club My first car was a 1976 Scirocco. I miss that car! BTW why buy the Moda's for Winter wheels if you plan to get another set for the Summer? You could have just put winter tires on your OE wheels.

 

the factory wheels will have track tires on them. :thumbup:

moda will have the stock all season tires and looking for a nice set of summer wheels.

 

added actual pics...Got the car tinted today and put on the mazdaspeed exhaust.

Also got my front mud guards today and the paint does not match very well.

 

welcome to the club!

 

welcome, nice vw's!

 

welcome to the club, as a fellow vw fan i really like your mk2 jetta, and your mk1 rabbit nicely done

 

figured I would update this post...had the car about a month now and loving it. Got the moda EB1 wheels on, lowered on tein s tech, front mud guards, and clear turns.







Also got the new summer wheels..couldnt pass up the deal from a local... 18x8.5 et30 RPF1 w/ center caps and less than 1000 miles on them

 

Good stuff.

 

our cars are twins

 

great choice

 

great rims.

 

Welcome to the family! Glad to have you!

 

figured id update this....

ran the 18x8.5 RPF01 for a bit, but wanted to go wider.



Then went a bit wider 18x9.5 et 45




A friend took these pics.

 

very nice :D

 

those look very nice

 

question for ya.. where did you buy your front mud guards ? im looking for them but im not willing to pay the dealership price or any other vendors for that matter. How much did you pay for them ?

 

azpartsexpressonline is a seller on ebay that sells these new oem parts really cheap

just checked and he has mud guards for $70

if u message him asking if he has other colors he most likely has your 8 color

(haha sounds like im advertising for him, but i got my rear and side flares from him and they were perfect)

 

Picked up a set of track wheels for dirt cheap...2 piece 18x8.5 ATS Apollo...have some curbing but I will be taking them apart to repair them.

They feel pretty light, but I will weight them when the tires are off.

test fit the ATS wheels....
