Pics of my new 8

Quality is poor I know. All I had was my cell phone camera and my first ever drive in one was in the rain

I'll post more as I take them, and I would refer to this thread for modifications as well, seeing as I have an extensive list.

Already done my first mod. Voodoo ****!!!

Enjoy

you kidding me? that's the ONLY way to go if you ask me. Especially with the Rx8 gearbox. SO smooth.

It's honestly one of the nicest manuals I've driven, but it takes some getting used to. And I've driven EVERYTHING so that's saying something.

thanks man. I absolutely love it. I may or may not do the clear corners, but if you check out my mod post, the bug has already bitten me...hard.

I am getting certified for my SCCA license this year and so I'll be racing my car there, and I might find a gutted one and race in a higher class. My other choices for a race car are a Miata build or a Factory Five Cobra. We'll see!
