yup, sadly - i'm such a wheel junkie (you seriously have no idea) that i knew what the wheels looked like when he said the name. lol.

I'm just wondering how he's gonna go about fitting them onto his car. iirc, he's gonna be running a teenage offset w/10+ wide on oem fenders. He can go with a roll and a tab shave but i was wondering if he was gonna pull the fenders to save a lil' on camber or if he was gonna try n' go max camber.

oh! and i don't think he mentioned what tire sizes he was gonna try n' run.

I hope he doesn't go with 245's...because dlum is runnin' with 10.5's +18 (can't remember exactly) w/265's. I'd be sad if he ran rubberbands on such nice wheels.

So I know I can totally search this couse I'm sure it's here, but my laptop is acting whacky and it's a pain in the *** to search on my phone. What's the easiest way to defog my tails? I'm fully prepared to be flamed for the lack of searching for an answer.

Since he's sleeping or something, he's running 265/35, definitely not rubber bands, thank god. I'm exited to see them on there. Neiron, aren't there a few threads on defogging your 04 tails.

blow dryer on cool.
there's probably a crack in the seal around the tail light so if you get enough air in there you can de-fog them.

I'd look into re-sealing them up before the rainy season starts or you'll get the aqua tail light mod.

Mazda USED TO replace them but later (in a moment of temporary insanity) declared the condensation "normal" and now I think they only replace the seal or maybe they don't do that at all.
I might have the TSB lying around somewhere that talks about it; let me dig around later and see if I can post it

google maps ftw

from temescal canyon to brea mall to pomona fairplex = 49 miles
RX8 fuel tank = 15.9
1/4 tank = 4 gallons

you'll probably do about 19 mpg or more since it'll be all highway
49 miles divided by calculated mpg of 19 = 2.58 gallons needed
Premium gas is about $4 a gallon

2.58 (gallons) times $4 = $10.32

I'd throw $10 in there and you should be fine
