Should have went with 19's and something a lil' more blingy but they are nice wheels and props for the work. I just cannot stand Veilside but its not my car so enjoy. To each her own.

Done a great job there

Hopefully with cars like yours, Tekkens, Tonys etc the 8 will become a lot more popular amongst the tuning scene in the UK

Yeah, not to hate on it or anything, but the rims look like $99 cheap ebay rims. Volks or not, they look cheap. Correct that and it will look like a nice setup.

like the car and i didnt think i would after i saw the first pic...perfect chick car. and its refreshing to see a woman that can drive, or at least tries. i agree about the rims...get something that compliments the car better, then again, i have stock wheels so who am i to say. haha

18x10.5 with +43 offset is perfect. no modifications needed and no rubbing. i have that size on mine on all 4 corners. danobre has and TeamRX8 used to have the same size.

yeah I do get loads of drag need to re angle it but I will have to get new arms, its from driftworx which do stuff for drifing.
appreciate comments each to their own but she aint finished always something else that can be done
Oooh. A fellow Time Attack enthusiast!

I'm trying to get my car ready for it on a severely limited budget, so I'm spending most of my money on track rentals and getting my skills up. Best bang for buck IMO.

If youre going to go with a Veilside, I say go all the way, and pick a color like that pink.

I actually like it. Properly executed "over the top" is kinda cool.

Nice car.

if you're going to have the wing on there, at least adjust the angle... it looks like its pointing at the ground. other than that, everything looks great. The paint is loud but it works well with the scheme you have going.

well i no i need bigger wheels but the rims were a bargain. they were gun metal but had them refurbed polished and sprayed. thinking maybe some graphics on the rear. decided i want to supercharge not turbo the 8.
tried angling the spoler cant adjust anymore,
only thing that is wrong with the pink is bugs love it!
the rx8 modding schene is different here most peple modify saxos ans 106's so jap parts are hard to get

Nicely done. Not a fan of veilside but to each their own.

As everybody has said, bigger wheels with a more aggressive offset would really set it off.

also, possibly painting the open 'canards' by the oil coolers black would really look nice as well. Another forum member has done the same and i think it really helps in appearance. That's IMO of course.

nice work putting together something you love
