benben01

KillerG

I love that you can use amazon credit on anything you can find on amazon

ed_423

MrOtocinclus

Damn, that would be pretty awesome for sure.

benben01

is that cheaper than what heeltoe was offering for sale prices?

MoaarLow

If you can justify $1700 to stop a 200hp car i want to be just like you when i grow up

benben01

Comparable when you select HT's 2 piece rotor kit.

Well, you better start having some kids now. My oldest is turning 14 this year and I am not that old

Stylinhonda

The car may only have 200hp, but it's not the lightest car in the world.

Looking forward to seeing some BBK's behind your wheels!

ed_423

i think he will be the 2nd cu2 with bbk! (in the states)

benben01

only the 2nd cu2 in the states? no sure if that's a good or bad thing

MoaarLow

Can only be good, More stoppin power, looks better
I'm just sure I'm not the only one who can't justify that price to stop a TSX.
Either way I'm in for some pics of them calipers behind your wheels! it'll definitely complete the look back there

ed_423

you will still be pretty exclusive, and baller, so i say yes its a good thing

slotted rotors are so sexy. it will increase your sexiness factor so much that you will get it on with your wife the day you install it. and nine months later you will have another kid. blame it on the brakes...not the alcohol

MoaarLow

This ended up being in the quote instead of my comment, freakin phone! :angry:

You're absolutely right, Not the lightest, But realistically speaking, It's a lot more for looks, The "piece of mind" may be worth it as well for those Unexpected stops. I'm sure Slotted Rotors, and some upgraded Pads would suffice.
Looking forward to seeing some BBK's behind your wheels!

But Hey, you got it, spend it. you only live once!

benben01

BBKs may have to take a back seat.. Just stopped by my local Mazda dealer to see if they have any more 2011 RX8 with the R3 package left. They didn't have any more on their lot but found 4 NEW ones at near by dealerships. So guess who's getting one this weekend?

KillerG

ben, wtf do you do for a living? other than your hot wife

wvtriple

+1 what do you do for a living? and are they hiring?
As much as I like the RX (I used to own a '90 Turbo II) I think Mazada stop making a great sports car with the 3rd gen RX-7, IMHO. Now Nissan on the other hand the 370z NISMO is a vice I would like to indulge, again my humble opinion. Hell I'm just jelly your buying a new car this weekend and I'm stuck doing yard clean up.

benben01

I wear many hats and fortunately they all pay very well. The splurge on the Rx8 is a treat for myself after working my ass off for the last 3 years. Wife and kids all got their treats already. Now it's my turn. I have always loved the rx8 and wished I had an rx7 as well. The thought of owning the last of the rotaries on one of the best handling chassis did it for me. This RX is a keeper.

Btw in addition to having a great paying consulting/research job I have been very fortunate to have great returns on some investments I made last year.

MrOtocinclus

benben01, props on the financial situation. May I ask what field of consulting/research? I'm at a crossroads in life and am curious. TIA.

benben01

PM me Mr. O

ed_423

man if you can find an rx-7 that'd be sick! haha

i bet ben's rx8 would look something like this

MrOtocinclus

Yeah, there was an RX8 in my apartment complex for awhile. Boy did that thing sound mean.

benben01

Close except it's Red. For 2011 the R3 version came in red only. It's a pretty color lol

ed_423

in that case...

KillerG

Fuck, i want some financial advice too. maybe Ill pm you soon

benben01

Feel free to PM me anytime Killer I don't mind chatting off line and sharing my experiences. BTW, here's what the R3 version looks like stock..



Check out them Recaros..



My game plan is to keep this one stock for a lil bit and run it a few times in auto-x this years after proper break it. Want to make sure the new mods on it will only enhance the handling and not degrade it for the purpose of aesthetics. Here's my short list of mods for it..

- Coils (Mazdaspeed or better)
- Staggered 19" Volks or ForgeStars
- Front/Rear StopTech BBK
- Intake/Exhaust
- Mazdatrix Supercharger

ed_423

volks! you already have forgestars on your cu2! and volks are sportier me thinks

mann i love that car! i just couldn't fit in the back when i sat in my friend's though LOl. should've just made it a 2 seater

benben01

Back seats are perfect for the kids.. Latest update.. Paid for car and signed the paper work today. It's being transported from an out of state stealership in NJ. If all goes well, I should have it in the drive Monday evening

ed_423

oh godd, please tell me you are a college drop out and teach me your ways to financial success!

(its a joke, please don't lecture me ceb)

wvtriple

Ben, you know Fridays at the track are starting up soon. I live 10 minutes from Summit Point, would be pretty cool to see that RX-8 in action!
http://www.summitpoint-raceway.com/i...d=20&Itemid=14

benben01

As a matter of fact, I am a drop out.. I was asked by the dean of my college to take a leave of absence to get my sh** together

Fortunately, I was able to land a great job at the time with a major financial company who gave me a shot. Never looked back after that. However, I will stress the fact that I was very lucky and found myself at the right place at the right time. If I hadn't gotten this job, who knows what would have happened to me.

Thanks for the heads up. Summit Point is on the RX's radar

ttk5

Yea!! you should def take take it to the track. congrats

PyroDave

you would have been a slut, like ed, who had to work the corners to afford gas on his TSX

tsxronald

Ben your my hero!!.. :ghey:

MrOtocinclus

Wow, what a difference 24 hours makes. Congratulations!

KillerG
