Hey Stigmaxxiii,How much BHP/HP does your RX8 have or by estimate? Looks very cool BTW!!!

 

[Paulie]

If you're going to have an RX-8, that's how it should look for sure, and it will have the top end punch to back it up by the sound of it.👍

PS- I'm not a fan of RX-8s in the slightest, but yours is the best I've ever seen.

I have no idea... I might be going a different route since two mazda dealership so far have tried to screw me over.

I'm gonna take a guess and say they did the old yo-yo scam? Everything was fine when you bought it, but the next day there seems to have been a clerical error and some numbers were wrong, they need you to finance x amount instead? I know a guy at 8thCivic who had a Mitsubishi dealer pull this on him after he brought home an Evo X.

Don't ever sign a contract without looking at the numbers carefully. Like Eric. said, some dealers will bait and switch you. Make sure the numbers you agreed with the salescritter matches what the finance manager puts in front of you.

Also, never, ever negotiate a month payment. Too many ways for them to play games if you go that route.

Actually we were told we would have a 500 dollar gas card (turns out, the voucher didn't work bc the company who supplied it went bankrupt... they said they are working with this matter and trying to resolve it) and they won't lower the price.

We threaten to return it and they lowered it by 400 dollars after we have already signed the contract and they let us keep the gas card. Then we thought driving 250 miles to return it and everything will cost more than 100 dollars so it's better that we keep it.

So we end up keeping it... and i'm having fun with it.

Edit: So basically, if the 500 dollar gas card works - we actually got a better price then what we originally agreed. If it doesn't - we got 100 dollar less than what we originally agreed.

I currently own a 2001 VW Bora (which alas is now starting to go wrong.

and a '77 Triumph Spitfire which given my lack of a guarage at uni has had to be left at my parents place (given that I dont trust the British Leyland steel to survive getting slightly damp...)
Given that the Spitfire made it into GT4, really hope they bring it back in GT5 (and maybe even make it handle remotely like the real thing...)

I am soon to have a '83 Datsun Bluebird. My learner's car i'm getting off my grandad.

Ford Ka 1.3 Not as amazing as the Colt or the Corsa but It has nice wheels.
The reg ends with KXK which turns a lot of giggling heads towards it.

Sorry but I don't want people to see my number-plate. I've been a victim of identity-theft and general theft before.

You don't want to think how many kids write down your reg plate every time you drive down a large road.
And if I had a 911, I'm sure i'd have lots of pictures and i'd be showing it off. From that, I can conclude your either lying or you need pshychiatric attention.

It's actually a bit of both. Look up his other posts, search for threads started by him and find "I am 911~Lad" or something to that effect.

He's also been banned, so it does no good replying to him....

It's his. I found an account with his same username, with the same contact information, in another forum.

1991 Sentra SE-R. 171k on the chassis, ~50k on JDM replacement motor. Runs like a champ, little to no rust.

These are some sweet, potentially classic cars. 👍

I'm waiting on my RSX to become a classic too. Should be easier since they're not in production anymore either.

Enough space in the trunk, enough quality in the CD Player, and comfy seats. A simple, "take you from point A to point B" car.

Haha, thanks. Are you trying to mention my non censored plate? I really don't care much for censoring plates. Like what's been said earlier. People see your plate all the time driving down the street, so what makes it so different?

Not my car, but a guy I know, has a Nissan Silvia S15 which he took from this....

Better left stock IMO. Some of the interior changes are ok though.

Trust me mate, when you see this thing on the road it's truely jaw dropping!

True. It would draw my attention! That doesn't mean I like it. But it's just a matter of personal preference. I don't like body mods. Maybe a few details to enhance the cars natural form, but nothing this heavy.

I swear, we get a Kia (Hyundai?) that looks identical to this...

I don't like it. I prefer it stock, on the road or not.

1998 Toyota Paseo

Nice. I have a (perhaps irrational) liking for the Paseo. I think it's the combo of just enough performance, just enough fun, just enough practicality and Toyota reliability that attracts me to it. And the fact that you can get a clean one in the UK for well under a grand.

Apart from the visual stuff have you done any other mods to it?
