looks awesome Ra!

nice photography skills as well!

Visirale 04-29-2007 09:02 PM

I think you need to change your location to "Gator Country" because I'm pretty sure we own that now ;).

Kidding aside, very clean and nice 8. Wheel color goes well with the car color.

Nopstnz 04-29-2007 09:03 PM

Love the rims.

Yes, spoiler is Racing Beat. Ordered it through rx7store. Much kudos to Im_Danomite and MissyK for answering all my questions!

Photochopped?!? :dunno: who me? Yeah, the first one is. ;) I'm just trying to enhance my weak photography skills.

Im_DANomite 04-29-2007 10:48 PM

Are you giving up on your Auto EXE repair?

chickenwafer 04-29-2007 11:08 PM

sweet! Representin the titaniums!

What kind of springs/suspension do you have? I am really diggen the drop. Nice rims, too.

Ah, good old Columbus, OH. I grew up there until I was 15. The skyline looks pretty good. Still think of going back every now and then, the city has really grown since I left.

Im_DANomite 04-29-2007 11:10 PM

well...haven't even gone to the bodyshop yet, still sitting in my garage. i like the fact that i can get a really good discount on MS stuff, i don't have to paint it, fitment is factory, and i already have the sides. after seeing yours, it just makes my decision final.

your car is looking dope...can't wait to get mine done!

rx8streetracer 04-29-2007 11:11 PM

What kind of wheels do you have?

babohan 04-29-2007 11:17 PM

sHe iS HoT!!!!!!!!

bruce_van 04-29-2007 11:37 PM

Beautiful car. You did a great job with everything. Simple, but elegant. I think the Volk GT-S wheels are the perfect wheels for the RX-8.

guidosrx8 04-29-2007 11:40 PM

Very nice 8!!!! looks great with the racing beat spoiler....my rb spoiler is sitting in the garage with the side skirts and reat fairings waiting to get put on...

very clean... nice shots too.

Oh man, I'm honored! Totally not worthy though, since there are a million other MS kitted 8s out there, I look just like the next one!

thebiggdaddy 05-01-2007 10:01 PM

just curious, what springs/shocks are you using?

RA-Eight 05-02-2007 07:40 AM

Tein S-Tech on OEMs.

Tirminyl 05-02-2007 08:05 AM

You need some hi-res shots....Or I do, lol. Nice 8!

Documented my install...

I was really torn between the Racing Brake's black and red BBK. In the end, I decided on red because the high gloss black would clash with the satin black finish of the GTS. I'm typically not a fan of the red painted calipers, but since the front Racing Brake calipers are red, I had to paint the rears to match, using G2 caliper kit.

Before:
Man my brakes needed some TLC.
