White is my favorite RX-8 color-so much so that I got it on my new CX-7.

Thanks! I'm still deciding if i want to get some Enkei RPF1 18X9.5's with either 255's or 275's Falken Azenis RT-615's for next season. OR just buy a set of stock wheels and put 245/35/18 Kumho V710's on them... Obiviously the RPF1's would look alot better, and I would be able to used them on the street if i ever wanted too...But which would provide better grip/better times for me?

Thanks for the suspension checkup Mark!

Why don't you look in to R compounds instead of race tires? like NT-01's. That way you can drive to the track and back. For me i just stick with grippy street tires all year round, I'm gonna be on RT615's even in the winter. If you just only goal is to improve times race tires are the way to go.

Please keep me in mind when you're serious about 18x9.5 RP-F1s:

Alternatively, I can make a set of Enkei RP-F1 18x9.5" ET 45mm 5x114.3 Wheels available with used Kumho V710 285/30 x 18 tires - sooner the fresher.

Nice pics. Did you try to accelerate into the pace car 80 times again like at LimeRock or not so much this time?

Car looks great. Really like the color/tires and that Evo that is behind you in the one pic cracks me up. Dude looks like he used an entire roll of painters tape.

Really can't wait to get on Sebring in January. Looks like entirely too much fun.

Beeutiful looking car justjim! That Blue Mica, clear corners and gun metal wheels make that a super look Always fun to run w/the Porsches (behind you!)

Hey ThecdnRX8... that's pics of YOUR car... not all the rest on the track ! I see that nifty R8 we saw at Calabogie was hanging around again. Did you pass him eventually?
