Been a member on the RX8OC since last september. been a half-nightmare of ownership! Bought the car in september 2012. Was alright until January when i took it to a rotary garage and was effectively killed off. It took until june this year for it to be rebuilt as I had to save up, so was driven for 3 months and SORN for over 6! I bow down to Ben over at RR!
Anyway, the nitty gritty! Heres how she was they day I bought her;

First thing I did was window tints and put some AD08 Neova on the car;

I then ordered the aero kit and put all but the spoiler on at first;

Next up was a meaty cobrasport exhaust. Two week later, she died on me. I got it back up and running beginning of june, and the first thing I did was put the D585 upgrade coils on from Ben at RR and then put the hoop spoiler on along with a generous poor boys/wash/autoglym aquawax/tyre gel etc for japfest 2, so here she is!!!!

My current mission is improving the engine bay! So Im having a custom airbrushed engine cover and the rest of the plastics will be body coloured. Ive also ordered a Ronnie Rotary plush and a warning sticker for a little fun.
The bonnet bar will also be colour coded along with painting the top of the standard airbox so it all flows. Other than that, im incredibly happy with the car, and I have absolutly no other plans for it aside from flirting with the track!
Thanks for reading everyone.
Looks very tidy, whats the exhaust noise like? :)
Welcome to MRC
Last picture looks like your lining up for the sprint track at Santa Pod, great to see your bringing this good looking car along to RS10 :Giggle

:D meaty! Plenty of pops just with a catback and standard cat! Bit wonky but exhausts UK are suppose to be rectifying this.
Thanks Clive! She will be proudly lined up at RS10! A pro detail is in order to rid the swirls though. Only downside to the car, but easily fixable!
