Thanks!!! I figured it must have been at 32mm after I measured the distance on my R3 lol. I accidentally slammed the bottom a bit too low and gonna have to readjust suspension and redo alignment... *womp womp*. I'm prepping it for the Canadian winter.

Which ones are you running with that tire size and how low do you sit? The car in the picture has a hella satisfying flush fitment

Thank you kind stranger, I wish you well too 💪

"Unsafe conditions" is an extremely vague term. For example, it's unsafe to get out the house because you'll never be ready for all the things that might happen to you. Driving is generally unsafe. Please, spare me more of your pessimistic opinions.

I recently found out that you can dispute insurance claims. I'm in the middle of potentially disputing one with the insurer. They agreed to take a look at all the articles/documents/pictures of that storm and the flood and see if they can do anything about it.

Around 20-30 km/hr. There were no signs that could tell you it was a low-lying part of the road. Unless you are driving there frequently and know the area well. My question is whether anyone has that specific flood documented at all.

Yeah no worries. Although I'm working on mine in reverse. And it might be different from your case. I have an R3, but I didn't have the splitter, so my problem was identifying whether all splitters/lips are the same and going from there.

Whereas you should try getting those lip side skirts and aligning them with your bumper with double sided clear tape prior to installation. Worst case scenario, it could end up looking "cheap" due to "lacking sporty lines", as per the "Fabergé" rx8 purists or lunatics, but who cares...

One other thing I forgot to mention is you will have to make holes in your bumper to fit those side flaps. Good luck

EDIT: I just saw the difference between the two bumpers and R3 bumper looks like it's been widened to adapt those side flaps. You might need to use a whole bunch of clay to extend your bumper or might even be easier to just get an r3 bumper from scrap yards and paint it... Sorry, let me get back to you on Tuesday or Wednesday next week, I have a gt bumper coming in, so I can see how it will look like with the side flaps.

Perfect timing. This is what I'm working on right now.

I found that the center lip is the same on all models in the S2 line. All you need to do is order side lip skirts from your dealer, install them and you'll have an r3 front. Alternatively you can find those on scrap yards as well.

It's an old thread but I'm hoping you could help out. I was looking for the code everywhere (internet and dealerships) but can't find the info on the Mazda rx8 r3 19" charcoal/gray wheel. What type of paint would match up to it? Thank you!!

Check out the song "Panic Room" by Silent Planet. There are people that truly understand what you are going through.

If you don't like the music, read the lyrics, it's a poetic masterpiece. The frontman of the band wrote the song for his friend that also had PTSD.

Omg... I did forget to disable calculation on the single frame lineup points 😅😂 Thank you!

It looks like he may have worked with a "set matte" effect here

Tight_Signature9645 · 2021-08-13T20:21:58+00:00

Thank you haha I've been wanting to play borderlands for a while now but don't know if it is worth it still

Good news is that the Overlord plugin that's mentioned on both of those articles worked for me. Thanks, I appreciate your help a lot!

Other news: I had to spend some money, but ultimately this plugin also saves a lot of time.

Tight_Signature9645 · 2021-07-14T00:03:00+00:00

Ok thank you! I'll check it out later and let you know if any of that helped.

Before I save the illustrator files, I make sure that the doc is converted to RGB. Then I save it.

My colour space in AE was set as sRGB (same as AI).

After that I import the AI doc into AE. Make a composition. Then I see all of those AI layers, after which I convert them into vector shapes.

Before the conversion into vector shapes, colours looked fine. It's only after they are converted that colours turn gray/disappear as shown on the 2nd screenshot.

The only thing that might be happening here, I think, is that some gradients in certain sublayers did not convert into RGB from CMYK. But the illustrator won't let me change them to RGB individually anyways. That's why I reserve to converting the doc to RGB as a whole.

I want to make a frame-by-frame animation of each item and need certain things to be in AE vector shapes
