next on the list is pdr the dent on the rear arch.

bargain wheel n tyres from ebay £300 Bridgestone re050a 235 40 18s on team dynamics 8j et34. easily 6mm all round.

been for a hoon and all straight n true.

black bonnet me thinks complete the black on silver look......and a front bumper lip in carbon.

arch gap staying nice comfy daily.

Cheers bud happy new year...yeah arch gap abit unsightly but got enough cars here that knock your fillings out so nice to have a little comfort....roads round wiltshire are awful...repairs on repairs all potted up soon as a frost hits.

Cheers! And still just under 2k spent including original purchase with 6k old rebuild and new coils! What started off as mobile parts source for race car has evolved!

Well, I dont know what kind of streets you have in wiltshire, but those roads that I have driven in UK are 100 times better than ours here! :D

But car looks nice, I´m jealous (because of the price) ;)

Happy new year mate!!!!

What width tyre can you fit on the standard rx8 rim?

Those new wheels do look good.

Have you looked at the racing beat suspension package? Upgraded ARBs slightly stiffer springs and lowers the car a bit too

FD's run a 255 but  having tried different tyre widths, I would say go for a 245 with a 40 profile for an RX-8
