My baby eight!

06 Mazda RX8 GT
I'm not happy with the suspension yet.I'm planning to drop it hella slammed with some coilovers.Right now them drop springs aint killin it.

When I first got it.
The car is basically my daily driver and I take it to autocross.
Still got a lot planned for the car.
When I got it had
-Agency power full exhaust w/o cat
-Secret weapon short ram intake
-Greddy pullies
-Mazda speed bars
-Aluminum radiator
-Drop springs
-Racing beat body kit (owner had it taken off)
-gauges
-and originally it had a turbo system in it.But the old owner took it off.Not planning to put it back on just yet.Anyways I got the car for $13k.Had
9k miles on it.Not bad huh?

Future plans in the next 3months
-New aluminum radiator
-Cold air intake
-better ignition system (idk which yet)
-Cusco coilovers
-COBB tuner

Nice car, the price is really low, are you sure there's not any problem with the engine, like low compression (because of the turbo)? White is the best color on the 8, too bad we didn't have this option here...

Yes they are 18" Rota's p45s all around with Falken RT615s.
I didn't get the offset.Didn't like em.Thought the bigger ones would look sick when I drop
the car to have that 'Hella flush' look.
Oh and I'm from a tiny island of Guam.US territory.
This is it's second engine.So I'm starting of clean.Whew!
The only problem with the car is the check engine light due to the fact that it's running
without a catalytic.

But yea I love the RX8 <3
