^ I love the look of the bronze rims on the black Revo S2. They look like Volks. I wish I knew the exact color of those rims, would be nice to powdercoat my rims that exact shade of bronze color.

Yes sir, and I think it's this special bronze in this ad they had for 2009.

Hi Metal Bronze, looks darker than some of the RE30's I have seen.

I know I'm not crazy(yet), but isn't this the same car??? I have seen this car many times but never noticed the different wheels on it.

The wheels are definitely different. This one below claims to be the Club Sport version of the RE30 which is more of a grey color.

I think the wheels on the one in the above post are the bronze color.

yeah my buddy wanted those but the price difference was crazy so he got this color (can't remember what color it is) instead.

^Love that car, looks like 18x9.5 +28??? what are the specs on that setup?

Found the write up on that Revo S2 and the color is now called Hyper Bronze Premium which looks to be the same as the ones you posted, and it's not listed in the Ray's US site but is in the JP one. I am seriously diggin' this setup, I think I need to get it.

Here's one I found on a S1 with the S2 style front on it...

I do like the middle of it though and the oil cooler vent design. What ruined it is the way the edge cascades down in the sharp line from the fender. uuggh WTF? M'z custom is my favorite for the S2.

It just occurred to me that I never posted my pics from last years trip to Tokyo. I'm just posting photos of rx8-interest here now, but you can find the rest at https://picasaweb.google.com/1080807...66300282/Tokyo. Sorry for the poor quality, I broke my real camera the day before before after a night out in Shibuya that I don't remember particularly well. So these were all taken with my iPod Touch.

These are all from a trip I made to RE Amemiya while I was there









These two were taken at the Toyota History Garage



And here's a random 8 I found in a parking lot:

Were you able to visit the Mazda Plant in Hiroshima? That's what I regret not doing when I was in Iwakuni.
