hey there igropemotoko. your car looks very clean. i sometimes miss the stock look on my ride. i got magnaflows on my ride to with a custom catback. mine looks like the helix exhaust system (asymmetrical)just with alot more ground clearance. you will be waiting a LONG time if your not gonna change it out until they blow and i think magnaflows are lifetime warranty. i will post some pics of it next time i have it in my shop and up in the air. oh and A+ on the efini. subtle and clean, very nice!!!!!!

Thanks, Jaisy! I always wondered what people would think of that Efini badge. I always liked the concept of "Rotary Forever" kinda thing. The plain CF was kinda bland.

I guess I should do a little sound clip of the exhaust up here sometime. I was suprised how clean the exhaust note sounded. I was worried it'd be real raspy and tinny sounding. The Injen intake is louder than homemade sin, though but it's subtle when at low throttle inputs. It just makes crap resonate in the cockpit and engine bay.

that quick?

I am so waiting to get my summer tires on. I've only had winter tires on my car because thats what it came with. rims with summer tires are waiting me.

Also can't wait for warmer weather and all the snow to melt so I can wash the poor car and getting looking all pretty again.

I should get a pic of what my car looks like currently.

Maybe I'm hopeful that we've already had our snow for the season in PA.

I'm washing her today. I can't take it anymore. And yes I am aware the roads are still covered in salt and slush...and that is gonna be a wintry mix Monday->Tuesday.

Also, I just ordered a GTSPEC 6 point strut bar and megan's racing camber kit. March will be a good month,

UP

i finally changed the looks of my french 192 Rx8 Winning Blue : no more side decoration, and my wheels are now home made GunBronze color that goes superbly with my Chargespeed BottomLine carbon kit.

how do you like it ?

Cheers from Paris France .

Thanks guys, the color of the wheels is great : at times black, at times grey, at time bronze.

It really goes nice with the carbon kit and makes it more visible.

Next step is coilovers because i tried H Tech springs (great comfort/performance ratio) but it's too high in front (even preloaded), now i know why they weren't referenced on european Rx8 .
