Hey, relax, I am just trying to hel pyou get the most out of your camera that yo upayed for. It's called constructive criticism, it's nothing to be ashamed about. The 8 looks good in htos epictures, and knowing Rx-8s I KNOW that's a very good specimin(you need clear corners though). I'm just saying, if you push the envelope a little further with what gear you have, you can make thos epcitures do the car more justice. I do love the car htough (despite the wheel disagreement) I respect you for what work you've done with it. I also love that you bought a rotary. I'm on your side though. I  love the car.


 
'Just a guess, 87, but did you "have a few" before writing this?

15 at the 1/4 mile... nice there ren. my buddy's GTP did about 13 seconds in the quarter mile.. although he put a few grand in the engine. he paid 10 gs for that car... plus all the mods (including a 5 grand tranny) totalled to like 3 grand in the tranny so overall 8 for mods and tranny.. and when he sold it he only got 4500.. sad isnt it.. although it almsot had 200 000 KMS on it

geez that sucks. I should have been at least in the lower 15's but it was my first time in a manual at the track and i couldn't get the launching down but practice makes perfect.+

no, I didn't "have a few" I just suck at typing haha. As for the drag times, I need to find a track myself. The TII is supposed to be able to get mid 15s. We'll see.

So, I went to autozone and picked up a can of dark blue metallic import paint spray can. I went ahead and repainted the ring around my a/c vents and figured out how to take my shifting knob out and re-did that. You can tell the before and after color when you look at the brake button and the shifting knob. You can also see my birthday present, my radar detector and oh...I went ahead and figured out how the rotary accents come out of the seats!!!! they snap in and out so i took those out and painted them IT TURNED OUT NICE!

Eh, fuzzy dice let any car down, IMO. Very nice otherwise.

it came out bad, the tape i used to tape up my shifting knob, left alot of sticky residue on it, i'll have to get some goo gone or something, the paint didn't turn out how i pictured it would. I didn't rush the job I just put on several coats, still it has drip spots, and looks rushed. From the pictures they turned out great, but in person it's not so great. But the color is alot better! maybe i'll fix it but for now it will do.

How do you plan to protect/cover it so that the paint won't come off in your hand?

BTW: WD-40 might help take the residue off too.

i might try wd-40 whichever is cheaper.
 
I have to clear coat it when i get some clear coat. but i'm not gonna do that until i get everything painted just right.

Here's a few i took once I got my car back (was without her for 10 days) It cost me $1,000 to get a new clutch. Here's the bad pictures. Keep in mind this is not just my fault. The previous owner was pretty bad to my car.


Now for the good pictures :)
