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... :) |
