Winning Blue Supercharged RX-8

Got some new wheels and the weather was beautiful (high 70's, and sunny) so I decided to take a few pictures:





and a couple of older ones of the engine bay:





and for those of you that prefer Velocity Red over Winning Blue, here's a nice picture of marsredr100's supercharged ride:

So beautiful - I'm actually in Melbourne every year to visit family, we have pretty much matching cars except for the engine bay/MS spoiler...same stance/wheels/strakes/painted calipers.

"G"................car looks good(as usual). How did the mounting go......any dings or scratches? If not, PM me with where you got your tires mounted as I'm not that happy with the two places I tried so far.
It was a nice day wasn't it? Spent all day clay barring for the first time, then waxing after that. Then I played around with the new Scanguage II that I just got.

I went to Island Lincoln Mercury in Merritt Island because of a friend's recommendation. I looked at the wheels after they finished and at first glance they looked fine. When I got home I checked them a little more closely and noticed that one of them had a pretty decent sized scratch around the center. I don't think I can recommend them after seeing that, especially since I politely asked the guy to take his time and be careful.

I love it. Most of the really fast turboed/supercharged 8s on this site are horrifyingly ugly. Crazy front bumpers that look terrible, two tone garbage no one wants to look at, extremely ugly spoilers, gigantic front air dams...but yours is beautiful. Some rims, clear corners, and a good spoiler. And kudos for keeping the stock appearance package.

Any more photos of the red 8 with the full RB bodykit?

Is the red 8's SC also Pettit? I'm assuming but thought I'd ask.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, the red's also a Pettit. I don't have any pictures of it handy, but maybe this evening I'll add a few more.

Yeah, I totally agree... I even like the stock rims... but I like these better because they're an inch and a half wider, and almost 5 lbs lighter.

I'd roll your filter to hide the seam on the bottom.
