NZ Enough lurking for me.

Hey guys finally signed up after a lot of lurking lol, so I thought I better post in our "downunder section" and say hello.

Lil info on me and my car its type s 6pd rx8 for about two years now i also have an rx4 that's in bad shape lol.
My 8s fairly standard I've put in a exeedy puk clutch and heavy duty pressure plate and besides replacing coils and spark plugs she's pretty a standard engine. Aesthetically I've fitted a veilside front and side body kit, have h&r lowering springs on their way and as we speak my rx8 is being resprayed to viola its a black with purple pearl (I'll have some pics up real soon).

Update:
Here's some pictures I forgot to add why I'm repainting the car, some idiots attempted to steal my rx8 and when they couldn't in frustration they did a bit of damage to the body =(
the car is now fully painted I'll get some photos after the cut and polish for you guys.
first photo is obviously when I first got the car, then when i two toned and added a kit and then prep and paint but I'm sure you could figure that out lol.
car is now lowered.

Hey Brettus, mine was grey with a black roof I have a Mazda speed sticker on my rear windscreen, just went and checked my car out it looks amazing except for that the painter dripped some clear coat on the bonnet cause the lid wasn't on properly.. doesn't matter I'm cut and polishing the car at the end of this week, =)
