RX-8 Sighting in Pasadena

Was at the IndyMac Bank parking structure today and spotted a fully loaded silver RX! :D

Had it not been for all the wind the last two days blowing dust EVERYWHERE, she would have been all clean and ready for a long drive...


This anyone's car?


Congrats cus you managed to make me completely jealous!

Hey Fanman, did you by any chance pace alongside me on the freeway a few months back (it was where the 134 hits the 2) in Glendale? It was nighttime...I was in a black NSX...The Rx-8 looked exactly like yours except I think it had tinted windows. It also shot out a fireball at one point

That was probably me. The stock Greddy Turbo map is incredibly rich, & has a bit of an issue with non-stock exhausts & cats (I have an SR Motorsports hi-flow cat & RB exhaust) so I might have unintentionally been backfiring/shooting out flames :D . That should be solved soon as I will be turning up the boost a bit & that will lean out the mixture.

I don't remember pacing a Black NSX though. i would remember that as I was going to get an NSX, until my Acura dealer burned me.

RX8CaliGirl,

Not sure where in Cali. you are from but I got them in Tujunga/LaCanada at Need4speedMotors :

http://www.need4speedmotors.com/

Gave me a great deal. Ask for Edgar. They know their stuff. Got me the right offsets so that my rims don't stick out of my fenderwells (perfectly flush). I got 19" x 8.5" up front & 19" x 9.5" in the rear.

You have FI in your Rx?!! Sweet! I gotta get a closer look at it one of these days :D Yeah, I remember reading your posts on S2ki.com regarding the acura dealer.

Cool, La Canada is not too far for me -- I might just copy you, Fanman. But first I need to get strakes and my windows tinted.

Yeah, I think that is one of the things that I will do down the line...get my windows tinted. If you want to see what the rims look like on the car in person, let me know.
