Couple of pics ('89 RX-7 and '09 RX-8 R3)

It's been way too long since I've spent time on here, and I feel shame, but I still have and love my FC. Here's a couple of pics just because I waxed 'er and took some last week while the paint is all slippery.

I recently put on an RB exhaust and Bonez superflo cat and a genuine NOS Mazda front splitter on. What a find that was. The only rust on my FC is on the stamped steel rims. I think it's in better shape than the RX-8!

Man I really love the funky retro look of the steelies on your car. If I had those and wanted wider tires, I would look at having them widened.

Very clean FC, I'm jealous.

Eric, what happened to Balzz?!?!? I didn't see him around the track this year, hasn't posted on here, and I PM'd him this spring but got nothing. Odd.

I have no idea where he is. He was all ready to go racing and then poof, he was gone.

I think I remember that he was getting married, so.............

Hey, hope you're doing well.

The rims are currently for sale in the classified section. I need some coin and every bit helps. Bought a house in Aurora. Sadly, things are expensive there. I like riding on the retro chique steelies anyways. Well, to some degree at least.

You'd be right!

You like that front splitter? Dusted off from the dark regions of the parts warehouse. It was meant to be.

I emailed Shane (Balzz) and he's alive and kicking, just busy with work, has made it out to a lapping day or two. Said to say hi to everyone and that he'll be back next season for more punishment and knowledge sharing.

Eccentric, PM me your phone number(s), I purchased in Newmarket and I'm sure we could be of help to each other occasionally, I've got air tools, hoist, etc. need a hand occasionally *cough*... lol
