I would comment, but photobucket is blocked out here, I'm interested in seeing your taillights though.

dillsrotary 06-11-2007 10:07 PM

jman700 06-11-2007 10:07 PM

oh....mannn. ill try to fix that right now so u can see em gimme a min.

kersh4w 06-12-2007 03:09 PM

looks pretty sweet.

i hate that in the usa you are legally required to have a front license plate. and they arent even the sleek euro plates.

Willie27 06-12-2007 03:15 PM

Not everywhere in the US, just move to AZ and you do not have a front license plate.

Jedi54 06-12-2007 03:16 PM

you need some springs....lower that bad boy.

MazdaJeff 06-12-2007 03:40 PM

Nice, as I said in the other thread, I like the two tone. It works.

kersh4w 06-12-2007 04:29 PM

the 2 tone works even better with a VR GT with the 2 tone interior.

:P

XDEEDUBBX 06-12-2007 07:31 PM

good start, now:

lower
clean
exhaust

and it'll look much better!

jman700 06-12-2007 08:36 PM

yea i have lowering springs for it but i dont wana put em on if they gona screw up my suspension and i cant afford a totaly new suspension system :/ as far as exhaust....im definatly set once i put on new tailpipes and i guarentee that my exhaust sounds louder than any out there on other rx8's....some ppl dont want it that loud but i do :)

Razz1 07-14-2007 06:05 PM

Not sure what you mean by "new suspension" being required after installing lowering springs. All you really need to do is get an alignment.

NgoRX8 07-14-2007 07:06 PM

yea, most springs won't show a drastic premature wear on the shock in comparison to the stocks. we don't even know how long the stocks will last.

jman700 07-14-2007 08:18 PM

so i should put the lowering springs on? cause i heard it wasnt good for the car unless you bought new coilovers as well. and no i dont have more daytime pictures ill try to take some and get that video/audio of the exhaust. but can u guys give me advice as far as the lowering springs go? should i put them on or not

MyEnemy 07-15-2007 12:16 AM

The car looks nice. Why did you put on yellow brake calipers though?

AJ's Shinka 07-15-2007 02:04 AM

To go with the yellow rotors.:banghead:

paulmasoner 07-15-2007 02:13 AM

NgoRX8 07-15-2007 09:29 AM

im not sure. the place where i got a lifetime membership for alignment gave it to me cause this guy there had them and said that he wasnt goin to use them so he gave them to me :/ they are purple but they dont have a brand on them or anything.

and i dont know i jsut thought red was too common so i went with yellow. and they are just painted so i can change the color if i want. i think im goin to paint them black along with the inside of my rotors. and yea im working on getting some new pictures i would take them now but its rainin outside :/

jman700 07-15-2007 06:25 PM

you guys wanted more/better pics....here ya go.....theres a few there that are closer which show the painted pieces on top, the taillights, and the exhaust cutout. :)

but i still need to kno if i should put those lowering springs on or not :/

SoFL_RX8 07-15-2007 08:30 PM

Not to be a stick in the mudd... but youve got a serious gap between your front fenders and hood, I can see your engine bay thru it. Not really feeling the yellow calipers, doesnt fit the rest of your color scheme, and your rotors are ruuuuusty.

Besides that it is looking good. Youre on the right track, just try to keep things tastefull and not too obnoxious (i.e. your loudest exhuast ever plan) We have plenty of loud-for-nothing cars already in FL, what we dont have enough of is clean/well put together street cars.

Keep up the good work man, and take what I say for a grain of salt... its your ride, do what makes you happy.
