Nothing special by any means, but here is my Rx-8.
I know the renesis engine (or any other rotary) has a bad name to most, but I love them and love my 8 Smile

There's nothing really special done to my car other than the basic bolt ons: HKS Hi Power Single Exit, Racing Beat Rev-i with ram air duct, R3 Bilstein shocks, Lowering springs,
Enkei RC-T4's 18x9 +35 (need better size tires), blue open/extended lugs.
Other interior/aesthetic mods but that doesn't matter for these pics lol

Picture credit goes out to a buddy of mine, Rob, except the last picture. That was me playing around with the panorama feature of my point and shoot lol.

That's the garage by Gateway downtown in Covington, isn't it? Loved taking classes there with Lee's right across the street Smile

Wow another RX8. Yours looks good. I figured I'd be the only rotard in here with all the silly piston kids. lol. I have a WB 04 GT. Which springs are you running. After I buy my upgrade for the fuel pump I'm wanting a good spring to lower it on. I'm on my second rotary car. Broke my water with a 88 TII. Loved that thing but couldn't take the family out in that.

As embarrassed as I am to say, I am running Megan Lowering Springs on here.
But have them sitting on the Bilstein's that come with the R3 Rx-8's.

Winning Blue and Stormy Blue Mica are my favorite colors on the 8. I just had to settle with TiGray because it was a great deal.

I'm thinking about running the mazdaspeed springs. I need to get some pics of mine but I spend all my time driving. lol

Mazdaspeed springs ride very well. But I don't recommend you running them on the stock shocks. Just defeats the purpose lol
