very nice


Thanks Rob. I bought her in October '08, but she needed plenty of TLC which took about a year to complete. I've been using her as my daily drive whilst the RX-8 is being used as a test mule.

Cheers,
Danny

Just thought I'd share what I had done yesterday after being very patient to wait for everything to arrive from US.

Enkei RPF1 17x8 +45
Yoko S.Drives 235/45
McGard Spline Drives

Rear guards have been rolled (by SWT Moss St and these guys are fantastic BTW)

Coil overs will go on soon to lower it and to be able to run some more camber.....fronts are only JUST sticking out.


Cheers

Very Nice 5's!

I agree with Charlie_91 we need a few more NC's like this! .. I love the look of both the Enkei's and Rx8 wheels.

What suspension setups are you guys running Danny/Xitan? ...

Cheers,

I'm running Koni adjustable shocks with King springs. They work well on the road and on the track........though I do use the standard 17's with R Specs for track work.

Most tyre shops can get a hold of them but expect to pay upwards of $500/rim. Buying from US can save you alot and through certain places you can avoid the tax for items over $1000.

Yes, the guys at Bob Jane told me my price for my RPF1s from Brian Goodwin was cheaper than their wholesale price. With the dollar they way it is at the moment, I say Goodwin Racing is definitely the way to go.

Schultzy


If the rims are 900 AUD and delivery is 250 AUD. Do you need to pay tax as the total is over $1000 AUD?
