Thoughts on SEMA in AC May 22nd

I thought the show was great. i was expecting more people form the west coast to show up and show-off some parts but oh well. It was worth the 2 and half hours to get there. Will post pics soon. There were 3 RX-8's there. Acosta, Volk Racing and a customer car in the back on the floor. The customer car had two audiobahn subs in the trunk with an Audiobahn amp and a custom glass piece over it. Maybe he/she in on the site.

I thought the show was alot of fun! There were some nice cars there....and models!:D

Im just way to tired from being at the show for four days. On my way home last night I almost fell asleep while driving.

Here is a pic of my 8 that I found on Import Velocity's website...

The green you see is from the Project MU 4 piston race calipers. These brakes are also the best in Japan.

Now when you say my car is ugly...do you mean the vinyl graphics or in general, the whole car is ugly. If its the vinyl I willl remove that in about a week. Then it will be back to normal.

Kel Rx8, I will take more pics of the car with out stickers but I wont have those until next week. I have to keep the stickers on till the end of this week because DSport Magazine has my car in there booth for the East coast Nationals at MIR this weekend.

pmacwill, now that I think about it.....thats a good question. :D
The clear corners have been kinda last on my mod list. I will eventually pick them up. I think I will get them when I order my stealth bulbs.

Hisakata, are you refering to the brakes being a prototype? If you are they are actually for sale for the RX-8. They stop very well!:D

Ninedeep, I saw your RX-8 on Rt. 50 in Chantilly Saturday. I couldn't catch up because we were in my wife's PT Cruiser. Your car looks very good in person. What type of exhaust do you have...sounds great.

I have a MazdaSpeed Exhaust, but I will be replacing it soon with the Espiler exhaust that is being sent to me.
