Hi Peoplez

Some of you mite remember me(old timers, still do ), I use to own an Velocity red Rx8 (for 2years). And was a lot more active member more so in the au. site and on here aswell, as I use to organise the RX8 cruises(which I hope to start again) in Sydney .I haven't be as active in the forums due to work, for those wondering were id disaapeared too...

Anyway I reappeared, at the last sydney cruise organised by dave-revolver(old timer ),with my new rx8. I decided to buy another rx8, for a variety of reasons, but i hadn't posted piks of my new Stormy blue Rx8 as yet.

Theres a few differences, to my last 8.
-Customs Black and Blue leather interior with blue stiching, which was a pain to wait that extra time to get done, but i like the result.
- STORMY BLUE - awsum colour, i find its like velocity red but blue in the way it sparkles...and it sort of shines different shades depending the weather and lighting ...as u will see in the piks.
- leather pack...unlike my last.
- a few lil other things..

Piks are from day 1 to current...although I want a bodykit/new rims/coilovers/turbo...in the future...gimme a lil time plzzz lol.

Heres the piks and I hope u like em...sorry bout the length of the post too haha.

last ones : )

 

Good to see you back Waldo.

Have been trying to keep the Sydney cruise home fires burning during your absence and am happy to pass over the cruise director's hat for a while...

 

thanks mate, and u have been doing a great job at it too, and im also glad to be back ... Will be trying to organise the next cruise, hopefully for the end of next month with any luck ...keep u posted of course...

 

Welcome back. I'm sure Dave will be happy for the assistance with cruise organisation.

I like what you have done with the interior

Have you managed to get the RX8 transfer in the brake light of this one?

Cheers
Tony

 

thanks Tony , very good to be back...and yeah dave has been a lone ranger organising them i hear, so im more than happy to get back in the swing of things . And thank-u once again, it took me some time and organising but I finally got it and the way I wanted it .

and yes hehe, that was one of my first mods...although Im going to be redoing it shortyly, as i think my template this time was lil smaller ...

 

Looks great mate.I did get to see it for real as I followed you through the national park after the last cruise. Love the custom interior(don't like the factory leather set up).. Would defiantly be keen for another Sydney cruise asap.

 

thanks buddy and yes i remember U and the lil cruise back . Yeah i wasnt a fan of the options mazda provided either , after **** dollars spent and lil time later , but i am very happy with the result ...

Keep your eyes posted, for the next cruise sometime next month .

Cheers,

nice interior Waldo...

welcome back

 

thanks Taka , and nice to be back too buddy.

 

Wally, my little buddy, good to see you back! That interior is awesome, hate to think what it cost but it looks the goods.


Oh, and I see you stole the wheels off your old VR?

 

gday biscuit , jus kidding how r-u mate ...its been a looooong time, hope u and ur 8 have been well...

definitely good to be back, and thanks the interior cost me a pretty penny thats for sure ...but well worth it, as im really happy with it ....

and ur rite, i did keep the wheels...as they were not goin to give me a better trade in price, so i returned everything on the VR8 to stock....And + I always did like these wheels a lot, but I do want a change in the future... possibly Black SSR Prof II or something similar, along with a list of other mods

nice to hear from u mate

 

I don't think I was around when you were around, but welcome back anyway

nice one you have there! you still have the red one?

 

gday mate, thanku glad to be here...work was giving me a headache

cheers mate, and nope the velocity red Rx8 has a new home somewhere in OZ...although it had 95000kms more, when i handed it back 22months later

 

I like the blue inserts.

 

thanks Razz1 , im pretty happy how it all turned out, in the end

 

Seriously love the custom blue inserts..........wow

Was this a dealer option or a case of the local upholsterer getting the gig.

Waldo, nice to see one of the old crew back!!

Nice interior!!

Mike

 

waldo,

didn't u have AP brake kit on your old VR?

 

gday mate , thanku and glad u like it...had the idea for sometime...as I always liked the red and black option, and was diassapointed when I bought the VR8 without it after looking at other 8's...so i thought i do the job rite, and get it done on my next 8 just how i wanted it ...

And no it was not a factory dealer option , although I did go thru Mazda to get it done when i bought the 8, b4 i received the keys...They use DOYLES @caringbah, for all there custom leather requests who are certified and are one of few out there who have done major testing with upholstering seats with airbags...They also provided me with a 3 year warranty aswell, so if it fades/cracks etc it will get replaced ...

 

Gday Mikey , hope u have been well... Its good to be back, and catching up with the old crew and all there 8's, feels like i have been away for ages ....will be organising another cruise soon too , so keep ur eyes open...

And thank-u, for the compliment mate

 

hi buddy ,

No i didnt actually, although would be really nice to have them though , heard pretty good reviews of them, think taka(in Mel) was gonna get them at one point(if my memory is correct )...My VR8 did have my calipers painted red and rotors painted, so maybe that may of confused u, not sure mate...unless ur mistaking my old 8 for another ....

 

Hey Waldo.

**** hot color mate. Love what you've done to it.

BTW, welcome back.

Greg

 

G Day Greg

thanks buddy , i was always a big fan of the velocity red(still am), but this has now taken its place, since the day i saw it ... Its almost just like the VR but in Blue the way it shines n specklez in different lighting and especially on a sunny day is awsum .

And thanks again mate, good to be back here
