Thought i may as well post it in the right section,

Drives very nicely and not as slow as i thought it might be, the Borla exhaust system also sounds quite good too !!! also very practical as per little daughter\'s requirements.

You\'re almost as bad as me posting pics of your 8 every where :rollin .
Glad you\'re liking it and there not as slow as many people think and great in the corners. The borla zorst adds a nice bit of noise just not as loud as some of those 7s :p.
@Kieron think you\'ll find it\'s only the MazdaSpeed (well a replica) rear wing the nose is an ing and the side skirts are Velside if iirr.

Posted here as wasn\'t sure if the RX8 peeps would see it in the other section "members rides" :Giggle

Sides are Veilside, front is Ings as mentioned, considering a rear diffuser but not sure how much it would be noticed really as might be hidden away too much ??

Nope keeping as it, mainly for ride comfort plus the sides are quite low already so any lower and will catch on speed humps sadly :2eek

That\'s quite cheeky there! Very nice! What exhaust is that?

Exhaust system is Borla, nice deep sound without being too much to annoy

Yep just ask the first owner about the Prodrive Guys scrapping the sides sills on the high speed track :p .
