New8ie here

Hello guys & gals, I'm a newbie here.
Ordered a V-Red auto 8 & I cdn't wait to get it, somewhere end June-early July.... So i went to Challenger this evening and bought the Forza Motorsport game cos i know there's an RX-8 in there. Surprised, I got a free Forza-Xbox umbrella and I remembered my dad's Jaguar came with a Jaguar umbrella too. It's kinda cool to get out from the Jag and using the Jag umbrella on rainy days. So, i was thinking maybe someone could source around if we could make an RX-8 umbrella? With it's rotary sign, mazda sign and all? It can be color coded with our body color as well.... velocity red, winning blue, etc. etc....

Just a suggestion, pls dun flame me if it sounds ridiculous...

Welcome, airspeed.

Yeah, the umbrella is not a bad idea - I actually have a black and red umbrella to match the interior... :D

Hi there... welcome....

Umbrella.... actually it's a good idea but really need numbers to make it cheap. I got a Lexus golf umbrella, Big *** one.... duo tone and looks pretty cool

I got the orange unbrella when i bought my Forza. Still no time to play, busy finishing Jade empire and God of War. Will get to it once I'm done.

I hear when you complete races you can get some body kits for the RX8 ... ING Rmagic and so on... great for testing which body kit suits you before buying the real thing.

Not much kits in there, but it'll give a rough idea tho'. Heard urs in also auto & u go to GR for mods? Where did u get ur car from? Does GR entertain cars from other PIs?

Maybe we could ask our friends from up north if they want to join in the Umbrella thingy, we could use the numbers & might get cheaper source from there. Any of you reading this?

Cool, guess I'll be joining u to GR as soon as i get my 8. Was thinking of changing the stock 16" to 18". Does it have any effect on an auto?

Maybe you should look for bigger brake if you're thinking of getting bigger rim. At least the OEM brake for the type S.
