Man that a really super clean RX-8. I wish I could rock one here in Florida.

Kane 09-27-2008 10:31 AM

Thanks; yours looks pretty fun too. If I get PCS-ed to Florida then we can trade for a few miles eh?

rotorhead87 09-27-2008 11:00 AM

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.

Kane 10-01-2008 07:29 AM

Ordered the first part of the Mazdaspeed 6 build..... multitasking FTW.

BuLL 10-01-2008 09:11 PM

Very very nice! Love what you've done.

Phoenix7 10-01-2008 09:46 PM

Looks Nice, I couldn't see the rx8 before and after in the video but what software are you using?

Brent 10-02-2008 01:37 AM

Car looks great!! I think my engine bay is my favorite part. I'm a big fan of the sleeper set up.

What do you mean?

The video from the desert? I used the iMovie on my Mac.

Mirage 12-03-2008 08:24 PM

that is a seriously sick sleeper set up, consider me a fan :)

Kane 12-03-2008 08:28 PM

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.

Fidelity101 12-03-2008 09:22 PM

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.

AzCamel 12-09-2008 05:03 PM

wow, nice work.. that is the first rx8 i really like, goood job

Kane 12-09-2008 05:21 PM

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... :)
