View Full Version : the coolest rx8 in oz
jc20b 12-02-2003, 04:20 AM So wich one of you guys is going to deck out there rx8 with all the cool toys. Want to see one not riced up just nicely done up that hauls.
Any of you got big plans for your 8 Exhaust would be cool spit some flames at tail gaters i love doing that:D
sorry about the por grammar im a lazy person after work.
Hymee 12-02-2003, 04:28 AM I am thinking about making mine "foowly sik man". As if!
I like the idea of some fender stakes, an exhaust the produces more power, and a tweak of the fuel/ignition maps. Oh yeah - a start button :)
But that is about it. I'm not into rice. I feel they have this car sorted really well. The power is a bit down though. I reckon am into getting an extra 50HP. Then it would be a real weapon. That would be about 27 kW extra at the treads.
Cheers,
Hymee.
jc20b 12-02-2003, 04:31 AM If anyones intrested in a dyno run see www.unigroup.com.au there at giraween would be good to see what there puting out after intake, exhasut, stickers, chrome paint and subwoofers ect.
jc20b 12-02-2003, 04:34 AM This car looks powerfully bro. lol
I like the car! :)
As far as extras go I've always found that if you've got enough money to afford to pay for all that bolt on stuff, a better way to get respect is to simply stand on your wallet and look down on the crowd.....
:p
Hymee 12-02-2003, 04:22 PM All it needs is an "Oh-Five" on it and it will definatley go faster :)
I want to convince myself that the whale sized mazda speed "wing" is a necessary gadget and jus t get one - but it would come with one of those "I'm a tosser" warnings I'm sure!
Oh, and the stock air dam

I think that the RX8 one probably says "I'm a Wankler"... :)

I like MS wing man!
ings body kit is my new fav and you can't say it is rice as the large whole can increase the flow to the radiator and thus a cooler engine. I think :)
I think all the MS stuff is still the best looking bodykits out there... I'd love one of those 300 blue MS RX-8s they put out in Japan... full body kit, modded ECU and exhaust... mmmm... drool
Good friend is already doing his RX-8.
Bought mid OCT for $63k ( leather pack) from West End in Blacktown.
Before the 1st 100km was on the clock, the process began.
Dealer fitted body kit. Chrome exhaust sleeves. Chromed rotor badges front & rear. Chromed scuff plates. back-lit gear knob. Red leather centre consoles, carbon look door handle surrounds. etc etc.
Plates............. RX8 SP.................
Coming, supercharger kit.........oh yeah!!!

How do the red leather centre console covers look in the flesh?
Something I'm interested in are the rear view mirror covers in red ... opinions?
I've still got exhaust finishers, air dam (painted and ready to go) and MP3 player sitting on the floor behind me ... most everything else is fitted.
I've stopped the car over a speed bump and decided to skip the full length side skirts (shame - I loved the look). Suppose it'll end up being the full factory body kit now.
I'm concentrating on audio, until engine mods are more common.

The red leather centre consoles break up the interior black really well. First thing you notice when peering into the interior
Maestro 12-07-2003, 10:20 PM I know of a cheap MazdaSpeed Bodykit
HEHEHEHEHE :P

NooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo!!!! !!!!!!!!! Argh! Poor thing... hope it didn't suffer too much before it died... :( We should do that to the owner :D
Actually, look at the front of the first and second pics, the bumper isn't properly colour matched to the hood... wonder if that's a legit MS kit?
takahashi 12-08-2003, 02:48 AM I think it is matching... did you see that in NZ mastro... where do you get MS kit in NZ... I can't found any people selling them in Melbourne at present... Anyone know?
takahashi 12-08-2003, 02:50 AM at least there is a decent MS wing... can I have that? :D

rear bumper too!
The pics are hosted in Japan, so I'm guessing it's probably a jap car... and look harder :P or turn your monitor up, that's no match :D
Maestro 12-11-2003, 01:05 AM Yeah its from www.tau-net.co.jp
But if you guys want a MazdaSpeed kit I will price one up through NZ and just pay to get it shipped over for you guys.
We can get them here now worries. I'm trying to get the full MS kit on our next one
I'd love to know what one costs Maestro, want the nose, side skirts, rear diffuser and possibly the rear wing... how many kiwi (or aussie) pesos for that? :)
BTW, best price I can figure so far for that kit from the US or Japan, including all shipping, etc is probably in the order of $10kAU... way too much for a few bits of plastic :(
takahashi 12-11-2003, 05:50 AM INGs is an alternative. Unless you are really wanna spend... The INGs asking price (front spoiler is about $1000) plus shipping tax and paint. I think the other you can avoid tax by shipping differently
Maestro 12-18-2003, 02:43 PM I'll sort out a Aussie / NZ group buy if you like ?
takahashi 12-18-2003, 03:36 PM That will be nice... I am in for either MazdaSpeed Kit or the INGs... I prefer the INGs
Maestro 12-22-2003, 04:17 AM I can only get MS :D
