RX-8 and Mini
I know, driveway pictures = bad, but I've been too busy and tired lately to take some good pics :/
Two of the most fun cars you can drive today:
We'll be getting a convertible Cooper S with JCW kit next year. Will be an amazingly fun car to drive, but unfortunately that means that my girlsfriends car will most likely dust my RX-8 on the track :/
Fun with photoshop!

I love the MS front, really changes the look of the whole car.
And while the Mini isn't mine, it belongs to my g/f, I still feel the need the represent! Don't diss it till you drive it is all I gotta say. There's a reason go-carts are built the way the are, they handle better and tighter than any real car. Mini has a very similar design. The regular Mini is way too weak, but we'll see what happens when we up the whp by close to 100 by going to an S and JCW kit. The last few years JCW Cooper S's were running just over 200hp and putting down around 14.5-14.7 quarter miles. Not bad for a car that handles like a go-cart We'll have to see how the 2005's compare. Now if only there was an AWD conversion available for it, I might actually get one for myself...
Of course, there's no way I'd give up my 8!

The Mini would be awesome if it wasn't built by the Germans. Now, don't get me wrong, I love german engineering. But, everything they touch turns to fat ***. The new Mini weighs about 2678 lbs. Hell a Celica GTS weighs 2500 lbs. and is lot bigger. It's a cool car, but it could have been so much better. Anyway, nice rides and good job on the 8, it looks great.

Like Ranger4277 said, there is no emblem on the Mazdaspeed front, so there was nothing to remove. I still have all the trunk emblems, and while I do plan a bit down the road to take off two of them and relocate one of them, I'm holding off on purely aesthetic mods for the time being and trying to get at least some function out of each mod I'm doing now.
Here's an old picture from the side including the rear and side aero flares and front splash guards. I'll try to take some good new pics next weekend.
