hmm, no thats about right.
Are those wheels the 9.5" wide RPF1's? What size tire are you running? what tire are you running? how much camber?
I am going to assume your running around a 255 tire, agressive street tire, ~ .5 negative?
am i right?![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
If so, that would explain some of the tire flex I see.

Fast & Furious / PUMA Competition
Hi guys,
I entered a sticker competition yesterday, basically I have to copy an existing PUMA shoe onto my car, here is what I came up with:
![](https://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v3784/220/31/773852574/n773852574_2634798_2206213.jpg)

I didn't win though, but it was fun working on this project
... The winner was another RX8 from my club.

Japan GT Roadshow
Thanks Rotr8! I joined another competition recently organized by the Japan GT Race that's going to be coming to Sepang International F1 Circuit next month... it was a marketing roadshow side-event, and I made it to the finals which means my car will be displayed at the circuit during the race in the end of June... Hopefully there will be a lot of picture taking with Japanese GT Queen models, and hope I get to win some of the prizes like tires, rims, etc...
Here are some shots from the event:
![](https://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs004.snc1/4152_83953707601_698527601_1874186_4221135_n.jpg)
A picture during the police escorted convoy from the meet-up spot to the event location. Actually the only time that 60 japan imports were allowed to rev it up a federal highway... good fun![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

LOL, looks like my car is being pulled over by the cops... actually the end of the police escorted convoy.

A shot of the participants...

This a picture of my friend Wendy, she owns a black RX8...
The front lip is going come off next week coz I just received my new bumper... previously I was going for the INGS+1, but changed my mind, and I now have a Fujita Engineering (Feed) piece... going for fitment and spraying this week...
