Exclamation This is your 8 on crack... :(

Fall is in the air which means it's time for Fall Import Alliance. I attended this show and got a few good shots but there was one car that stood out more than the others...I will let the pictures explain themselves (Warning, it ain't pretty)







Sorry for ruining your Sunday...

As the cars age, the price of used ones begin to fall into the price range of those who don't have enough spare cash to do proper upgrades.
Regrettable, but expected.

The best part is how he takes off the F1 style steering wheel, and puts it on the dash like he's getting out of F1 car.

Actually, I'd like my steering to come back about 6 inches, but I'm not taking it off to get out or be a poser.

Those Recaros are Knock Offs.... Look at the stitching. Looks horrible.

^yeah I know. Thats why I called it. Very easy to take covers off of bucket seats and get RECARO stitched on them... smh. You really think he could afford REAL RECAROS being as expensive as they are? I mean cmon, look at his wheels. Maybe if the seats loooked beat up, stained, and dirty, then I might think they were real and maybe he had bought them new, but NOPE.

i know....but im saying i wouldnt know if red seats would look good on stormy blue because i have never seen it.....chances are that they are most likely fake but at least they present some sort of representation of how real ones would look...

I like the "I heart Drifting" license plate. Just what you would expect on this car.

No offense but I was at the fall meet as well (took my zx6r because the 8 is still down) but the rx8's are VERY disappointing.. No style at all. I mean seriously the red one with a primered veilside bodykit lifted like 15 feet in the air, black hood some janky wheels.. smh. I also noticed that there were atleast 4 auto's with the 16" automatic wheels.. The white one with stock wheels and an ebay bodykit.. Blue one with faded silver hood / wheels peeling the spray paint off..

No offense if these are your cars just saying why does every rx8 look 100% stock with untastefull mods ? Get a mazdaspeed/lip kit/any CLEAN kit, lower it some, get some decent wheels ( not generic ) and you'll have a clean *** car..

Either way hated admitting I even had an rx8 to everyone while I was there due to the quality of the rides that showed up..


just my .02 cents
