What size are those RX-8 wheels and tyres?
I wonder if my local car wreckers (automotive dismantlers) has a cheap set.
They look like they are an easy perfect fitment.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

I had a dream that for some reason I bought Eibach springs and was so happy with them. Then, I realized that I'm going for coilovers.

This car handles surprisingly well in snow with snow tires. Drove back and forth to work (100 miles) today and had no issues. Amazing how well the traction control works.

That color looks sick AF dude, what dip thing do you mean? When I first saw it I thought you had it wrapped

Thanks!
Its painted with plasti dip. Lasts from 6 months to a couple years if maintained. Can be easily removed without damaging the original paint.

only thing that works is e0 gas.

also the chirp has no detriment to the functionality of the pump.

It has made the chirp go away (although I suspect only temporarily) but I figured while it was under warranty and I had and excuse, I might as well get them to replace it.

Now I have a brand new fuel pump that, because of the chirp, was covered under warranty.

The tires on it now are 225/45/18 the tires I have to go on it are 225/35/18
The wheels are 18x8.5 +45 but I have a 25mm 5x100->5x114.3 adapters on it.

Also, I installed my Colins Tail lights
But they aren't really all that bright during the day ? Is there something I can do about that ?
