Man that a really super clean RX-8. I wish I could rock one here in Florida.
|
Thanks; yours looks pretty fun too. If I get PCS-ed to Florida then we can trade for a few miles eh?
|
lol...I don't know if I could just hand my keys off to my pride and joy, but I prefer ride alongs. Thanks though.
|
Ordered the first part of the Mazdaspeed 6 build..... multitasking FTW.
|
Very very nice! Love what you've done.
|
Looks Nice, I couldn't see the rx8 before and after in the video but what software are you using?
|
Car looks great!! I think my engine bay is my favorite part. I'm a big fan of the sleeper set up.

The video from the desert? I used the iMovie on my Mac. |
that is a seriously sick sleeper set up, consider me a fan :)
|
Thanks all of y'all.
I will be reworking some bits of the engine during Christmas; and I'll get some new pics up - should be cool. |
A sleeper would be on stock wheels but I like your garage, the blue seems to work for you hehe :)
keep up the good work. |
wow, nice work.. that is the first rx8 i really like, goood job
|
Thanks guys - yeah I know it is not stock... but I still call it a sleeper because most people cannot spot the power mods.
Nice to know the 7 crowd approves...the 8 not being a "real" sports car and all. LOL I call it the "perfect sports car for people who like to think of themselves as hardcore drivers". Kinda like the idea of owning a bike is often better than actually owning one... :) |

Looking good!!
|
|
|
kane, that last pic is amazing!!! do you have a high res version?
Greg |
No - I wish!!!!
I'll try to get a copy. |
My favorite thing is the engine bay all covered up :)
VERY NICE... |

subscribed.
- i am inspired by your engine bay. i probably would've thought "stock" if i saw it before seeing the list. =) |
Thanks man.
|
Sweet, love the blue color/ gold wheel combo. Looks great!
|
I feel really stupid right about now cause i thought this was a for sale thread and spent 5minutes looking for the asking price :o11::rofl:
Anyways nice RX-8 you got there as well as the stable of mazdas you have:icon_tup: damn it must really be nice to live in Hawaii! i really miss that place |
not a huge fan of the lower rear bodywork (piece of the kit), but that aside, your car is sexy! SEXY! ... i tell you. you've put together a pretty sweet ride there, and it's not just the aesthetics, if i recall (from Rx8Club) you had BHR build you a pretty solid engine, too. good stuff.
|
Great looking RX8 you have there. Nice job putting it all together.

Thanks, BTW - and yeah I have a ported, ceramic sealed motor built by BHR, with rotors milled by Speedsource. I am the first ceramic sealed Renesis from NRS Rotorsport (as far as me and Sven know). Quote:

Since this thread got bumped I'll add some new videos of the engine.
