Thanks Mo! This car is definitely a keeper. Just got cleaning and clay barring the entire car. Waiting on the sealant to bond to the paint so I can buff rest of the car. Found just a tiny lil ding on the rear door which the stealership will fix tomorrow hopefully. I am thinking these stock BBS on the RX8 is too nice to upgrade for now. Contemplating running 10 and 15mm spacers with wider tires: 235/35/19 and 255/35/19.
i support spacers and meaty tires. I agree those wheels do look really sick, and the fact that theyre BBS is also a reason to keep. They made them wl those wheel for a reason! Drop, Spacers, and tires is going to have tht thannnggg sitting so mean. MOAAAAR PICS

Thanks everyone! Spacers and meatier tires are definitely on the menu for now. Holding off on the drop until I get to sample what this R-Tuned suspension has to offer. If anything, I will be looking at a set of Mazdaspeed coilovers.

Think it through, understand the consequences, and don't lie to yourself. And, Check Every Bolt. That is all.

Fuck. I did not thinking about that...
Have you considered adding extra exhaust pipes in the back?
You know, to free up the horsepower that gets clogged on the way out

Thanks TK! The mirrors took a bit of stretching but it came out great. Will tackle the other side tomorrow. As the exhaust system Killer, I am doing my research now. I am looking at headers, Hi-Flow 100CEL cat, and a quiet cat back system.

Hey ben I know you are too cool for us and everything now that you have an rx-8, but could you take some more pics of your TSX rear from a few angles for us? I just want to see how those 4" tips fill out the stock bumper : )

Sick, when I tried to wrap my mirrors it sucked. It was so hard to get the wrinkles out. It didn't look right on pep and I ended up taking it off haha.

Killer: The rain should stop tomorrow and I will get some super no homo ass and tip shots
Joe: The mirrors on the Rx werent too bad however, I had to take them off and redo again later when I get some adhesive. The film lifted from the base last night when I took it out for a cruise.

I am max'ed at 4 kids LOL! Those are not tips, they are Apex'i WS2 mufflers for a CL7 which I had modded to to fit our CU2. I found them on Ebay for $400 shipped. Your best bet is to find a used WS2 catback and have that modded to fit which would be a lot easier than the route I took. RX-8 will be a slow work in progress
