That "Porche" headlight kit is actually a RE Amemiya kit. I hate it. But man, I LOVE those pics!! How does one make their hood **** open in the back like that blue one? I wonder how much engine temps would drop...Any ideas?

It literally translates to "B-pillar bar".&nbsp It's a reinforcement bar that connects the left and right side B-pillars for less chassis flex.

I can read most of it...

I was the kid that liked comic books....lots of pictures.....very few words

I did kinda assume it was like a rear strut brace just higher up.

I noticed there is a video camera pod mounted on it

Perhaps to video tape his driving

Not to question RETed, just noticed it

You know the RX-8 is growing on me more and more:





Almost like a FC with the slightly harder edges.

Its easy. Just put some spacers between the hood and the hinge thing. Like this -> hood, spacers, hinge, screws. You will prob have to get bigger screws to make up the space the spacers added. This helps cooling by sucking out hot air from the engine bay. I'll prob do this to my car this weekend (ive been too lazy to go buy some spacers ).

I agree, most the other pictures you see make it look worse. They all seem to make the hood look really low, and the roof sit really high. Like it's a lot taller than it really is.

A few questions?

how does the car feel with the wider rims? I know mine felt a lot different with just 17's

How do you mount such wide rims to match the widebody (change the whole suspension)?

Are those just covers for the rear lights?

Looks Great JT

sorry,it is very very difficult for me to transrate Japanese to English.sorry......

wider rims's
#advantage wider tread(good effect on cornering)
#disadvantage damege frontwheel-hub(aluminium)
$ I use frontwheel-hub made of steel.
wandering is strong.
$ adjust correct wheel-aligment.

how to mount wide rims
wheel size(special offset size) & spacer.


sorry.Can you understand that I mean?
