Spring RX8 refresh

[r0tor]

I should add for the record these are SSR GTV-02 18x9.5 +45 wheels with Michelin PSS 245/40s.

Absolutely love it.  I sized everything right so no rubs or fender work.  Went with 245s because I didn't want to over tire the car (wanted it to be a little playful) and the fact the damn PSS tires seem to run 10-20mm wider then their section width.  Had to go with 9.5" wheels to get some concave...

I have a NEX but it's an old C3. Saving my pennies for an A6000 kit and a new FL reducer/adapter for my FD lenses.

Saving for an A7...

It'll be a while

After the cost of an a7 and lenses, you could probably buy an Audi A7

I was going to sell my old gear to help offset the cost but it was stolen.  OG A7 bodies are under $1000 now.

There was an A7II with 24-70 f/4 ziess lens for $1600 on my local CL but I just don't have that right now.

New unplanned mod - Optima Redtop Battery

The previous Napa brand battery was only a couple years old.  I think it suffered from a shitty ass Chinese made battery charger, getting deep cycled from infrequently being driven, and a battery hold down that wasn't holding down much.  At least it had the courtesy of dying in the garage.

should have went with a brail, would have put you at 49/51 weight distribution.

My buddy had a braile... Had to carry around a jumpstarter which negated much of the weight savings
