I'm an owner of one of those Titanium RX-8's. Mine is a 2004, bought it at Polar in White Bear and it's garaged November 1 till May 1 in a friends barn so I'm not tempted to have fun in the snow. Was wondering if anyone has changed their tires yet and if so did you stick with the Bridgestones or change brands.

Keep rocketing around and flash your lights if you see another on the road.

i went with some blizzaks it was 185 a tire..but honestly it's well over worth it..because last night we had over a good inch of snow on the ground and ice underneath and i was purposely trying to lose control and i couldn't do it...so it swerved a lil bit but it caught so thats what i'm happy with.

which blizzaks did you get?? I'm looking to invest in some when next winter comes along. 185 seems pretty decent from the numbers i was pullin up online

nice to have you meet you Jim! mine is also garaged in the cold... this place sucks for sports cars.... see ya in a few more months :)

i'll check tonight on my way back home...i'm heading to a party right now..so i'll find out later for ya

awesome
thanks bro : )

I am thinking about getting my OEM rims powder coated before spring and am wondering if any of you have a shop you would recommend to do it??

On a side note I am currently running on a set of Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero and I absolutely love them. These are the only winter tires I have experience with but I would definitely buy them again. The are exceptional when it comes to breaking and also provide great traction in the corners. I can't speak to their longevity yet as I have only driven on them since November. I will post up some pictures of the winter setup sometime over the next couple of days.

Does anyone have an extra set of taillights?? I need a new set mine are all fogged and. Full of water if anyone has an extra set name ur price for me to take them off ur hands

mine do that too...what i did is just drilled a hole at the bottom of the taillights..simple and temporary fix but i'm gonna need some soon too...for the rims..i'd have to say ebay to be honest...then just take them to a tire place...my blizzaks are....Dunlop Spwinter Sport m3s

crap I had rims sitting around all summer I just put them on my wifes murano. Im going to have the old rims repainted. :banghead:

who wants to do a meet this sunday?

Yeah i was probably going to do the ebay thing for the rims cuz other options seem to be too spendy. Alright I'll check out those tires.
I have to get summer tires also haha cuz they are already balled...going to be an expansive spring when it comes around

I'm not sure about what a permanent fix would be for this problem but It's really easy to get that water out. I followed a DIY from the DIY section and it worked great.

ya i'm going to do the same thing...ebay some rims..and get some cheap summer tires because i race a lot in the summer and i go thru probably 2 sets of tires each summer..i did this last summer anyways...i'm going to keep my stock rims with my winter tires.

I still have my OEM rims boxed in the garage if anyone is interested.

Seti001 I'll be down for a meet this weekend but i'm not sure if anyone is going to show up. It's going to be a cold one.

that it is..i'm interested in those rims..what size..and could i get pics...pm me with a photo and the price..and details thanks.

See the scuff? :crying: I hit the side of my garage one morning. I was half asleep because my roommate needed my to move my car:banghead:

The pic doesn't show it but the parking lights are now have a little more blue tint to them. So I probably going to pick up a 6000k kit, possible 8000k but I don't want to lose lighting.
