Just hoping that it will not break down being a Toyota

Will definitely be doing a big safety check and inspection before I cross into Mexico. Honestly might not even do it, biggest concern is bringing the Taco down might be too flashy. I have a few friends that have done it and said it's fine but they were also driving beat up vans. My cat and I will make that decision when time comes.

latest pic of (half) my whip

split this one w my brother @ae86envy. not sure what the plan is, but we've talked about trying a cheap RX8 for years and this one looked good. Stripper spec: canada only manual cloth seats & slicktop. 138k kms on it's (gulp) first motor - we think anyways.

really excited about this one for some reason - i think my scope of cool cars is too narrow sometimes.

I always liked the RX8 back when I worked at Mazda when they came out. Fantastic hwy cruisers. Had one a week towed in with a flooded motor from people not knowing how to make peace with a rotor

Who's got the bets going? The M3's made it past a week. Well it's been over a month.

it will ride so much better on more tire. You could prob make enough money selling the style 5's to get some oem wheels and new tires

i'm glad somebody has that car now that will take care of it.

If I can fit 255s in the rear and 235s up front without too much work, I'll throw on my bronze Volk ZE40s that I've waited over a year to put on. I purchased it for the 330. Then, hoped to be able to put it on the E46 M3. I'm looking forward to actually to be able to put it on this M3, wrapped in my Hankook RS4s.

Still not sure my plans for the car, but track set up would probably be 17x9 ARC8s

these cars love square setups. You can run definitely run 235's up front (i used to). Trouble is it's an in between tire size and harder to get now. 255's might need a bit of fender work depending on offset, but this car is rolled already isn't it?

I'm running 245/40/17's square now.

oh i forgot to specify specs on the ZE40s. 18x8.5 +30 and 18x9.5+40. Yeah BMWs drive better on square.

I believe the car is rolled. But depending on budget and how far I want to / how I want to build the car, I might have to commit a few purist sins.

The fenders are pretty messed up as it. So I'm thinking:
1. Track build, janky - cut the fenders slap on overfenders
2. Track build, clean - run carbon fiber fenders and get it painted/wrapped.
3. Street build, clean - get the fenders cleaned up and get a full respray done to Oxford Green. (and maybe kswap for lols)

I look at it for value of vehicle vs value of parts that icbc won’t cover when it’s written off. Keep it, do maintenance, have fun with it, done.

me either. i remember shopping for one new in 2008 when i wrecked my mazda3. I honestly thought they were all spec'd the same.

this seems to be a GS - meaning it doesn't have any of the junk I don't want anyways, except maybe HID's but who cares. Still has the big wheels, still has fogs, still has the stereo.

bad weather for getting to know it. My brother has introduced it to it's first tank of pre-mix See how it likes it. Hopefully will get some seat time next week.

Good for you Producer. I have debated taking on a wankel in the past, but never worked up the nerve.

I loved those things back in the day. A guy down the street from me has a blue one and it still looks bad ass. I'd love to hear how it does at the track where you can really wind that thing out.
