I had already noticed the wankel sign before I read what you wrote, but was too distracted looking how amazing the back end of your fd looks!!...

All these red fd\'s are making me actually like red again.

I have to admit there\'s a touch of photoshop on there to repair the damaged RX7 badge and crap foglight.

Nah, Photoshop is very capable of making crap look good.

Take this for an example. Girl asked me to photoshop her Ka "to make it look better". So I did.

ha ha! Quality photoshop skills, and quality street names you have in Germany, too. Red is the best colour, I think there can be no argument on that .....


......or can there :Giggle?

Looks lovely mate. Love the skirts and spoiler. Looks Just like mine with the rx8 rims too!. Only differences are, you have the sidesteps and rear spoiler, and i have the 99 spec spoiler, RE-A rear diffuser and mazdaspeed rear window visor. Mine looks just like this at the back. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170247622037&rd=1  kinda in betweeny of yours and mine lol.

Yeah, Robbie, I want one of the CF diffusers from Shine auto to finish my rear end off.

Was at the Ring earlier this month, but had blown a turbo racing a Maserati on the Autobahn about 6 miles away from the track so couldn\'t go on. :( Hopefully I\'ll have new turbos next weekend, and can do it in October. Fingers crossed anyway.

Do you find the RX8 rims sit a fair way into your rear arches? Or have you spaced them right out?

Post by: RobbieRX-7 on September 28, 2008, 07:29:52 PM
Yeah they do sit too far into the rear arches. Only way to get round this is to space them out a good 30-40mm. I never realised at the time, but RX-8 wheels are actually narrower than stock 16" wheels! They look great from a side angle, but they\'re just not wide enough for the power of the fd!

Yeah I noticed how my FD likes to squirm out of junctions and so on even with the 18"s. Didn\'t know they were actually thinner than the 16"s! :spank
