Washed, waxed, no moldings, new exhaust.

Here she is all cleaned up, and stripped of the dumbass door moldings. Was easier than I had read, only a few spots remained on the doors, the rest of the adhesive stayed on the trim as long as I was slow and careful. The exhaust is the shortened MP3 Sedan Axle Back, care of azian6r. Sounds great with the CAI already on the car. Smooth but no droning at highway speeds. Enjoy! I do!

[GearSlammer]

the RX-8 rims are gorgeous.

 

[SuperWagon502]

Did you have to do anything to get the RX-8 wheels on the car? in terms of fit i mean. Is it just a screw the lugs down kinda addition?

 

[Kain]

P5 + RX-8 wheels = teh sex.

The rear fenders were rolled, due to rubbing over bumps. I am running the Eibach Sedan springs though, which are a softer rate in the rear, so it rides a touch softer and lower than the regular springs. With the proper P5 springs it would fit without any mods I think. The front needed nothing, no rubbing lock to lock.

Thanks for the props guys!

what size tires?

 

[JOS3]

its gotta be a harsh ride with such thin tires. i cant imagine the feeling of hitting a decent pothole with those. it would probably be bone-jarring....

 

[azian6er]

looks ******* bad man. Im glad to see you got that exhaust on finally. The 8 rims look sick as s***.

[Bass Addict]

Dude, that looks bad...you should be proud. I'm curious to how the ride is too.

 

[Mike R]

Two thumbs up! That is one of the nicest P5s I've seen on this board - simple, tasteful.

The tires are 215/35/18, and the rims are 18x8 with a +50mm offset. No rubbing now that the rear fenders are rolled. The ride isn't supple, I'll say that, but its much better with the Sedan rears, and way better than my old Honda Accord with the same wheel/tire setup. Everyday driving is fine, and I've only hit one bump in three months that made me think that I broke something. I'll trade a little ride for the cornering ability the car has now. Keep in mind the wheels only weigh 20lbs as well, which is low for an 18 ( not superlight, but lighter than the cheap Exel and Konig wheels ) because the RX8 needed to keep down its unsprung weight.

wow looks awesome man, the wheels are such a nice touch
