if I remember correctly you are running a staggered setup? These caps don't fit the 8" RPF1's

Lets get some 8' Reg. We can make both types. Not many as aggressive as yours here,



Ok sweet. I'll organise that and come on down to the factory

Looks very factory, got a photo of the original to compare against? Have you done the rx8 wiper switch yet to get adjustable intermittent wipers?

Sorry regie, that sounds like I was dismissing the wheel. It looks good I was just surprised how "factory" it looked as it had the Mazda logo and the buttons on the wheel.

Haha didn't even realise that. Yeah all the factory goodies bolt up to it. I think they got a whole lot of nc std wheels and just reshaped and re trimmed them. :D

Some new sway bars and an alignment, it has transformed the car yet again, one of the rear alignment bolts mustn't have been check tightened. It was knocking when the left rear was unloaded on a spirited drive.....I thought I blew one of the ohlins. A quick raise of the rear end showed a loose camber bolt with the nut missing...whoops. Lucky I have a garage full of glass jars of random nuts. Nut installed and the bolt aligned with the other side we are all good :lol:

Looking forward to the next club track day 1st June.
