Welcome to the club! Nice pics and i like the rear rotary light.

 

Thanks!

In case you dont know:
The rear rotary light is actually a rear fog light, which is required by law in germany...
Thats why the american RX-8´s dont have it from factory, but the german RX-8´s

 

So, a little more than a year passed by and some more mods were done and some are still under cunstruction

Mods in 2014 by now:

Mazda Front Lip
Mazda Sidesskirts
Mazdaspeed Rear Bumper
OEM Rims paintet piano black
and some ECU Tuning

Waiting to be mounted:

Mazdaspeed Rear Wing
Steel Break- and Clutchline

Some pic´s for now incl. the Dynosheets

 

Willkommen im Club . The rear fog light and head lamp washers are mandatory in mainland Europe fyi.
Those are good numbers for an engine with many kilometers.
