Rotor Kreuzer 04-12-2007, 09:38 AM Nice! What makes it different from a Mazdaspeed kitted 6-speed 8?
Mazdaspeed 88 04-12-2007, 09:52 AM Thanks benny.... practicing my DSLR skill ;-)

Gambit 04-12-2007, 11:39 AM those pics are kickass!
MrToeknee 04-12-2007, 11:46 AM Looks good! Loving the RHD action.
alfy28 04-12-2007, 11:46 AM very nice, and nice surroundings also.
Mazdaspeed 88 04-12-2007, 12:04 PM Thanks for the compliments... The photo was taken in Kinabalu Park, Mount Kinabalu ... one of the chalet. I work in another beach resort... PM me if any of you plan to visit us in Borneo for your holidays... (Thanks to Benny advertising me ;-))
CarAndDriver 04-12-2007, 12:20 PM Very nice. I wish the US models had the auto climate control.
djkrazy 04-12-2007, 01:21 PM i want a mazdaspeed rx8 .... to bad that there are none in the states
Wanganrx8 04-12-2007, 01:34 PM very nice
legendkurado 04-12-2007, 01:41 PM what are the gauges for? jw
nycgps 04-12-2007, 01:59 PM Water temp, oil presure, and oil temp
You can get it from Mazda japan for maybe 1.3K
Mazdaspeed 88 04-12-2007, 02:00 PM Is for Water Temp, Oil Temp & Oil Pressure
Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2 04-12-2007, 02:27 PM very awesome, im coming close to being halfway on my mazdaspeed rx8 project. no way i'm going to be authentic like you but it'll be close enough. :)
Vancouver Blue-8 04-12-2007, 02:44 PM OMG ... very nice photos indeed... and very, very clean. I am particularly inpressed by the interior. Lots of people spend ages cleaning the outside, but spend relatively less time on the inside, and the inside of your 8 is truly spotless. Good on you, and shame on me. I haven't washed my car for weeks.
Moostafa29 04-12-2007, 02:53 PM Looks good, just gotta hook up the wheels now.
t-run/8 04-12-2007, 02:57 PM If I had the spoiler,front bumper, and b piller rx8 that car would be identical to mine.
NgoRX8 04-12-2007, 03:06 PM looks clean man. rims + drop and you're good. :)
Transam kid 01 04-12-2007, 03:20 PM Looks nice...but I think you got ripped off...your steering wheel is on the wrong side...I would talk to Mazda and have them fix that for you.
legendkurado 04-12-2007, 03:49 PM thanks for the reply guys
TurboEight 04-12-2007, 03:59 PM nice....but i don't really like the airfreshener.
Jedi54 04-12-2007, 04:17 PM very nice pics! That guage pod is a nice touch as well.
'87 Turbo II 04-12-2007, 04:21 PM The thing that'd finish the Mazdaspeed 8 is the Magnesium alloy Mazdaspeed racing wheels, the Mazdaspeed exhaust (might already be on it but the tips look a bit small), Mazdaspeed gauges, and ....... that's all I can think about. Mazda makes a lot of Mazdaspee d aprts for the 8 but they're all so small and visual. Oh the suspension too!
#1blackrx8 04-12-2007, 04:27 PM nice really nice to bad its in the rain :(
Mazdaspeed 88 04-12-2007, 08:35 PM Thanks for all the comments guys... and I always like my car clean from inside out :)
Transam kid - you are funny :cwm27:
TurboEight - am trying to find a better airfreshener
Moostafa29 - I actually like this wheel...
#1blackrx8 - rain was part of the photograph session... :ylsuper:
WoodsOfGreenRx8 04-12-2007, 09:19 PM I love the looks of the center pod with the guages...

love the view nice looking homes
thebiggdaddy 04-12-2007, 09:59 PM debadge the front mazda emblem.
CarAndDriver 04-12-2007, 10:14 PM debadge the front mazda emblem.
I personally like the Mazda badge up front.
Mazdaspeed 88 04-12-2007, 11:22 PM I personally also like the badge up front... "thebigdaddy" you debadged yours??
thebiggdaddy 04-12-2007, 11:57 PM haha, nah. too much work. you have to fill the holes and such. but it does make a huge difference without the emblem. your ride is still fine. i wish i had the gauges. nice ride btw.
jaii13 04-12-2007, 11:59 PM Nice pics 88. Btw, which Borneo resort? hehe
Mazdaspeed 88 04-13-2007, 12:13 AM Sinece you guys are interested to see more of the gauge, here are some additional close up photos for the gauge, bose speaker, technometer... :) but was taken using a normal digital camera before...

Cody Red 04-13-2007, 12:15 AM Very nice. I can't complain about anything :D:. Or maybe throw on a Mazdaspeed badge (taking off the Mazda one of course). :ylsuper:

cleoent 04-13-2007, 12:20 AM i love it! But i think the stock wheels kill it!
Vancouver Blue-8 04-13-2007, 01:53 PM Just curious, did you put the strakes up yourself? I am seriously thinking of getting a set of strakes myself, and clear corners as well, but I am worried that I might not be able to do a good job myself ... esp that I have seen photos on this board, where some strakes are not set straight, looking very odd ... is it worth the extra to let Mazda do the job for me?
I was shopping online and a set of strakes and clear corners would be less than Can.$400 (include shipping), which I reckon is reasonable.
legendkurado 04-13-2007, 02:15 PM both are very easy to put on
Mazdaspeed 88 04-14-2007, 02:47 AM The strakes is DIY, very easy to do (15 minutes job). For Can$400, I receommend you to get a quote from www.japanparts.com (http://www.japanparts.com) ask for Graham. As for the clear corner, all Japan's RX-8, it comes with it originally. :)

Crazy Rx-8 Driver 04-14-2007, 05:10 AM i want that exact 3-guage pod! i want i want!!!

Mazdaspeed 88 04-14-2007, 05:34 AM MissyK it was taken on a different day ;-) hence the different mileage.....

Thanks, go and get it. You can find them in www.japanparts.com (http://www.japanparts.com) :)
Groundrush 04-14-2007, 09:51 AM Just curious, did you put the strakes up yourself?

As previously stated, strakes are an easy install, and it is NOT difficult to set them straight. If you simply align them with the little plastic horizontal "fins" on the vents, they'll come out fine. Oh, and you can get both strakes and clear corners for considerably less than $400. I got the stainless strakes from rx8-accessories.com in the UK (half the price of the OEMs AND they look better IMHO), and clear corners can be had for roughly $60 shipped...they're frequently listed on Ebay or in the For Sale section here on the boards.
You can get both for roughly $200 US. And I agree, that guage pod kicks ass.
j67345 04-15-2007, 09:22 AM That guage pod is awesome!
I got my strakes on ebay a couple years ago, and they still look new. (I'm not sure if the guy is still selling them...I think he was in the UK or something?)
I think I also paid ~$50 shipped fo rmy clear corners. You can install both of them very easily. Take the money you'd save by paying the stealership to install them, and put it towards your next mod!
RX-Hachi 04-15-2007, 02:22 PM If I had the spoiler,front bumper, and b piller rx8 that car would be identical to mine.It might look identical on the outside, but probably not on the inside.
The true JDM MS RX-8, if that is what Benny owns, is more than just the body kit. There are suspension changes, lightweight flywheel, exhaust and many other minor changes. And it also has a different ECU program, which is suppose to yield more HP, although Mazda Japan never listed an exact HP rating for the JDM MS RX-8.
But from the pics alone, I can't tell if it's really a factory JDM MS RX-8, or a car that's dressed up to look like one.
salituro64 04-18-2007, 10:08 PM What happened to the pictures? All I see are x's
