Hey, like i said, its my first post. Tell me what you think of my ride. I have a 04 Rx8 Velocity Red. So fare ive put a Full Mazda Speed Urethane body kit ( Its not a fake MS kit), Greddy SP2 catback exhaust, Race pipe from headers to exhaust ( took out my cat), Raceing Beat cold air intake with the ram air induction, Tint, 18" Konig Unknown wheels, two 12" JL audio W3v3 subs with a 500.1 amp, and just put clear corners on. ( in the picture i dont have the corners on but i will post new pics in a couple days).

In the future im putting on seibon KS-style carbon Fiber hood, Vertical doors, and a 7 1/2" touch screen in dash to take the place of all the audio and A/C controls.

Let me know what you think of it.

looks good man. wheels arent my taste but the kit looks good. im not a big fan of lambo doors so i went with CF hood but maybe a new spoiler would be in order

you have a lot of reading to do..

chrism

looks good.....i would go hood.....and dont touch the radio with out reading up...you will lose your a/c heat!

Joel Ramsey

Looks good. Are you happy with the exhaust and race pipe? I'm planning on doing that in a few months. Without the cat, doesn't the car stink to high heaven?

L8APEX

agreed.

also a short lesson on picture taking. why hide the front of the car with plants?

Just what I though..

Also, get some clear corner lights first!

dmp

+1 for rims! Or go back to OEM!

Dinhx8

water the plant thats covering the car

rx8streetracer

I know about the plant, im taking new pictures on friday if this rain will let up.
I did not know about losing heat if i put in the screen, so never mind with that...
I am planning on getting new wheels in about 5 months or so,
I do have clear corners on it now, just not when the picture was taken

lower your car!

rx8streetracer

Yea, i love the exhaust. Ive not noticed any smell to the car after i put on my race pipe, only for like a 10 seconds after you start it. With the exhaust and the racepipe It extremely loud. But its clear and not shity sounding. Dont get it though if the cops around your area are tough on that sort of things

rx8streetracer

Already ordered the Mazda Speed suspention. I would go with one that lowers it more, But i live in good ol'e Westr Virginia and we have alot of Mountains. So i cant lower it to much

rx8streetracer

Cant go back to OEM, a Tracter Trailer ran me off the road about 8 months about and i hit a huge pot-hole. It broke both the rims on the passenger side ( didnt hurt my car anymore tho thank god). So i bought these rims to fit the tires i had just paid for a week before i got ran off the road. After the tires wear out im going to get a set of 19" Volk wheels, or a set of PIAA super roza wheels ( i think thats the name of em)

Can you explain this more...how you found a urethane Mazdaspeed kit?

edit...wow, 13 total votes so far and NO votes for lambo doors. Not surprised though really.

L8APEX

I thought the genuine MS kits were Urethane, part of why they are so damn expensive, and much nicer thatn the knockoffs in fiberglass. Is that not the case?

EDIT: They are made from Metton® liquid molding resign , whatever the hell that is. and i got that from Mazda's site, even the "resign" part. Not my spelling error.

kwescott

That Metton, in my eye, is like a hybrid of the best portions of a urethane product, with some of the rigidity found in fiberglass. Best of both worlds.

I got hit with a bouncing 2x4 on the freeway about 8 months ago...hit the front bumper, bounced up my hood and hit the windshield. With Fiberglass, the bumper would have been totalled, with urethane it probably would have torn. The Metton held up fairly well. Urethane seems to be heavy when compared to fiberglass, and tends to sag. Metton is definately lighter...which is a good thing.

L8APEX

isn't the stock nose Urethane, or is it the same Metton stuff?

sorry...

kwescott

I have the MS kit. (Metton)

Stock parts are not Metton.
