other pics of the car.

please tell me you plan on lowering and adding DECENT rims...

RX8Soldier 09-26-2011 03:16 PM

interesting.
Do you have oem body? Also, you need a new intake system!

KIA 09-26-2011 03:18 PM

i will eventually get a good adjustable suspension set up and a decent set of rims soon. i have the oem body, but might get a kit for next season. i'm kinda happy with my K&N typhoon kit since it came free with the car.

I'm praying to sweet little 7lb 3oz baby Jesus for that car.

RX8Soldier 09-26-2011 03:23 PM

with a body kit, rims and suspension, I think the car will look fine.

But, the intake isn't good for your engine. I believe that it actually has a negative effect.Search around for dyno results. But, if you're happy with that, then that's all that matters...

Wasn't this color done long ago by someone else overseas? Seems like a quality job work wise. At least you picked the right intake for it.

KIA 09-26-2011 03:25 PM

lol, its a fun lil ride, working in a collision shop and having access to the paint equipment made this a $200 paint job and just a bunch of my time.

I think it was France

KIA 09-26-2011 03:26 PM

i'm not sure, ive looked and didnt find one like it. i just liked that green especially the way it looks in the sunlight.

KIA 09-26-2011 03:27 PM

is there a better intake system. its the only thing i got. it might be why i have a running issue even with a new motor.

Atilla 09-26-2011 03:28 PM

OP: shot in the dark here...but...if by chance...you are looking at some "sweet" Chrome Dubs or something ridiculous...please....STOP IT.

If you put all the different options in a hat and pulled one of them out, you'd definitely get a better one.

RX8Soldier 09-26-2011 03:32 PM

just get an oem intake.

Stock is better, that is the V1 K&N intake. It was later revised but wasn't really any better. The stock intake is hard to beat actually.

Lime green is hard to pull off and most will hate it but if you like it then who cares what anyone else thinks. It's not the lime green that i don't like so much, it's the two tone theme that has been done again, and again, and again. Just please do not tell me you are looking at buying the Veilside fish face kit.

The Reverend 09-26-2011 03:33 PM

props for picking a different color and giving it a try. give us some hi res pics in sunlight when it is all back together

KIA 09-26-2011 03:35 PM

I'm not into dubs at all or even chrome for that matter. i think i'll stick with 18"s but just havnt found a set that catches my eye yet. I will look into a better intake system and see how it works out.

You are gonna have a HARD time making the car not look like this.

KIA 09-26-2011 03:37 PM

yea i'll take some good pics. yeah i know about that two tone job has been done but personally i kinda liked it that way, i'm not looking at veilside kits there too overdone, i was even thinking just the mazdaspeed kit.

KIA 09-26-2011 03:38 PM

yeah i know, but i will do my best for it not to look like a complete ricer.

Bullitt 09-26-2011 03:53 PM

Jesus was 7-3??

Atilla 09-26-2011 04:04 PM

MS kit with decent rims w/good fitment would definitely be a refreshing take on bright color schemes.

KIA 09-26-2011 04:17 PM

I will look at some rims very soon, might like some suggestion on what might fit good and look good.

RX8Soldier 09-26-2011 04:20 PM

"look good" is subjective. What looks good to some, won't to others.
Read the "Will it fit" sticky
