Here are some more pics of the R3 on 20's. Not too shabby, I think these photos do the car a little more justice

^ lol ^

EDIT: LOL. Didn't know there was a thread with these shots. Oh well, doesn't hurt to leave them here as well, haha!

Here are some photos I stumbled across on Flickr that haven't been posted of Sifu's car, with the Varianzas on. I am so jealous of this bumper, excellent choice. *Only* things I would change would be removing the sun roof deflector and the "RX-8" decal from the 3rd brake light. One of my favorite 8's out there right now, keep it up Dennis

We've seen this car before, but it's still mandatory to post this sort of fitment/drop. Seriously slammed. One of the lowest 8's I've seen on coilovers. Amber corners in Japan = Custom Fujitsubo single exit =

Well I raised the car a bit yesterday, about a half inch up front and maybe and eigth in the rear. I was tires of it not being driveable on certain roads still so now I can have my cake and eat it too I guess. Still looks pretty low compared to most cars.

Guess a body kit is in order now to appear lower. Not sure if I want to fo Autobahn or Mazdaspeed yet though.

Im pretty sure they are 20/10 +20 rear and 20/9 +20 front. When i was looking for a set of wheels i contacted David from Wolf wheels new zealand who also distributes work wheels and im pretty sure any other brand of wheels the email address is info@workwheels.com.au. Talk to him about the set-up really good service also

^LMAO, he is 1uping me, for now I told him what I didn't learn the first time, Go Big or Go Home, and if you dont plan doing it right, don't do it at all.

For Izzy only being 20 years old, and have already spent like $7k, i can only imagine what else he has planned for his car , hopefully he gets the rest of the mods in before SS14.

@Tilt & Sifu - they are going to be sick. c^an't wait to see them in person.

Bagged is a whole other game. Bagging an 8 = :'(

I would say the silver 8 is just as low as the red. Sunk wheels will make a car appear a bit lower.

I couldnt imagine how bad it would be to drive that red 8, I always scrape my exhaust flange pretty sure ive gotten some kind of exhaust leak because of it.
