props! that is quite an extensive mod list on the Eclipse, what do you have planned for the 8?

by the way, you should loose the license plate bracket on the front

 

ya license plate frame is already off the car, did that a couple days after I got the car. The 8 is gonna be a daily driver for a bit, and I wanna get used to the car and learn more about the rotary before really modding it. Eventually prob set it up more as an auto-x car than power, the eclipse is much easier to get power out of

 

oooo nice eclipse.

That body style is the ONLY eclipse that looked good. Those were fast too!

 

Congrats&welcome
Did you ever have black wheels on your Eclipse? I think it would look sickkkk.
So you feel any difference between them?

 

^lol..does he feel a difference.....lets see....rx8=torque less wonder

 

welcome. enjoy the car. it will be a different feel than the eclipse for sure.

 

I have a DSM too !

After owning my RX8 for 3 moths, I still cant believe how bad the DSM handles.

 

Nice rides man... let the modding begin!

 

omg if your eclipse looks like that i cant wait to see what you do to the 8.
welcome to rx8 club.

 

Welcome...! :p
