Hi, Just wanted to post some pictures of my car with my old 20'' mags with 275X35X20 tyres which have since been replaced with new 20'' Black Five Spoke with Chrome lip, looks alot meaner, ill post new pictures soon, promise.

 

are you also lowering it ?

 

I saw your video on line.

 

slam that sucker!

 

im gonna lower it soon, the back wheels scrape abit when going through dips or off driveways at a certain angle and have already rolled the fenders...

 

south africa represent!

 

WOO>< African RX8. first time ever heard of.
so how much did you get the car for?
just sort of wondering.
BTW, are those really Magnesium alloy wheels?
if yes, how heavy are they?

 

did someone say Jedi??

 

Phat8, really good to see someone close by. Been trying to insert the pic of mine, don't know if it worked. Twenty-flippin'-inches !! I checked tyre prices for my 18'' and each tyre costs more than four of my previous car, with some change to spare. Where the heck did you do the chrome? would like to do both the front and the rear

 

msenzo: if you want to insert a photo you've got 2 options:

1) you'll need to upload the picture somewhere. try www.photobucket.com. Sign up there, you'll see an browse button, insert that path you put in your post, click upload. Once it's uploaded, you'll see a url (use the top one). Then come back, click on image and insert that url (copy & paste is your friend)

2) Resize the picture WAY down, go advanced, manage attachments, browse for photo, and upload.

 

Damn, that shat looks beefy!! Nice color choice p-hat!

 

May the force be with you

 

Before I disappear, in SA we have two versions
5 speed manual (141kW, 220Nm) R299 000
6 speed manual (170kW, 211Nm) R341 000

Sorry, don't have conversions for power and torque. But you can easily match these with your figures.

At the moment 1$ will buy you R7.04, you do the math. Costs pretty much similar to the Alfa Romeo GT V6 and way, way cheaper than the 350Z, the Crossfire(yuk!!) and the S2000.

 

You Said Crossfire

 

he did say yuk after

 

New 20'' rims fitted on my 8, Shiny Black with chrome lip, red Callipers.

 

u like??? had alot of nasty comments on my ''calling all donuts thread'' from other people who ''assumed''
there was no one watching the other cars which were been let through on the blocked off road as i was having a event at my shop. go figure?

 

thanx man!

 

there r a few 8's around here but everyone's 2 scared to do any mods 2 them, especially turbo charging them. we dont get the white colour choice here though which i think is a great looker 2. car cost us R240.000 pre owned with 20.000 km's on the clock. as for the wheels we here in SA call all after market rims ''mags'' . i dont know what metal i think u right, they're not 2 heavy but the 20''s do slow the beast down alot.

 

the force runs strong in you. my custom car sound fitment centre is called JEDI AUDIO.

 

SAME! im in edenvale jhb and yourself? love silver it was a tough choice 4 us between black or silver. tyres r ridicilously priced. our original tyres were finished and had buckled rims from our lovely roads. so we decided 2 just go big. those rims were not chrome they were the normal matt silver colour rims come out with. probably the picture... what r u going to mod first? i think a light silver shade window tint all round could compliment ur car alot...

 

thanx 4 the compliments. is ur 8 black 2? could u post ur pics?

 

CHRISM thanx 4 the comps on my donut thread i tried 2 start, could'nt reply 2 everyone one on time hit a dead end there... no point anyway, do u get ur 8 abit sideways now and then?? i enjoy practicing drifting... there's a cool site (streetfire.net) where there's alot of 8's having fun and not getting dissed... I WONDER IF ALOT OF THOSE GUYS EVEN KNEW THE RX8 IS REAR WHEEL DRIVE? fun fun fun. checked out your pics. your mods out mod everyone on this forum! respect! love ur 8 just the exhaust in the middle not my style. dont even want 2 ask how much time and cash went in to ur 8....

 

sorry everyone.probably think im rude. been very busy. im back and have my new pics. thanx 4 the replies...

 

Here's the only pics I've got at the moment. Just took some 2 days ago w/some of the other trinkets I've put on. But I'm really slow about actually getting my pics on to my computer.
