that Veilside 2 is completely nuts! what do you call doors that swing up like that? i know it's not gull wing...

wow those doors ROCK!!! I don't know how many times I trapped myself between my two doors when I'm next to another car and I need to opening both doors to access the back seat It's a pain in the arse if you ask me.

Do they have a conversion kit for fixing the location of the steering wheel? But seriously when are they putting out a kit for the vertical doors?

Thanks for posting. Pics are great.

you can get a kit it will run you about 1,500
for both doors. I dont know if they are available yet i tried calling CA Decah about two months ago and they said they were workin on one thats their price.

GREAT PICS , VERY NICE FINDE

I LIKE THE DOORS OF THE VELSIDE BUT I BELIEVE THAT DEVEN NOT TO OPEN ITSELF ENOUGH

Oh my god

that veilside kit is TOO crazy for me
I do like the lambo doors though

I like that R magic widebody

tight veilside!!!!!! good pics.

the gullwing doors are sick!

I love all those rX-8s the WB one's interior rocks!

I like what they have done with the deck CD also

what the crap..... damn Toyko is always making the U.S. car look like crap! I'm moving there and thats it!!!

Too much...A for all the effort

the japanes are the best tuners on japones cars i think its normal , they do good cars so they tunned much beter.

i cant belive im saying this, but the white one looks really hott

Those aren't gullwing doors, which is the name of doors that were on this old Mercedes car that had the door hinges on the roof of the car. I've mostly seen these called lambo doors because they're very similar to some lamborghini doors.

...say, is that a different rim pattern front to back?

Great

scissor doors. they are called scissor doors or vertical doors.

Interesting doors. Do you open them out then push them up? You can see they are kind of at an angle when raised.

turbo!!!!

photoshop find...2 doors!!

photoshop find...on the circuit

nice, ive never seen the 1st pic but the 2nd i have, looks great, maybe well see one in 2005

i love the 2 doors its perfect look

the VERTICAL DOORS, make the rigidity of the car suck... as if the structural integrity of the innovative suicide door with regular door system was not already fairly weak. There is a lot of bodyflex, and the way Mazda designed the doors to be closed and form a structural body brace (between the doors). Bodyflex might cause the doors to end up stressing the frame of the car more, without the proper pillar support between the front and rear car doors... but the vertical doors look tight, but not exactly my thing!

when the doors are closed, I don't think there would be a difference in rigidity between the regular door and the vertical doors..

For RX8's, most of the torsional rigidity is attributed to the outer frame and the redesigned floor and central tubular reinforcement. the doors and b-pillers primarily serve to protect. For the RX-8, the B-piller is built into the rear freestyle doors and latch to the top and bottom rx-8's door spaceframe.

Of course feel free to beat this down, as I am no structural engineer.. Just entertaining some thoughts...

i think like Squidward.
the car is renforcete , the free style dorr do that job and the center tunel.
pardon for my bad inglish

The power plant frame utilized in the MX6, RX7 (FD) and RX8 provides the chasis rigidity. The rest of the car is just dressing to keep us safe and comfortable.

I actually hope ALL RX8s are built 4 door. What we need is a 4th gen RX7 in 2 door/2 seat format. Something the size of the MX3 with a turbo charged renesis, and of course RWD. Damn, I can feel whiplash already.

Man, with a good design and installer, almost anything can be done like that. The question is, can you find one to do a quality job, and do you have enough money to get it done right? I have a friend that owns a car stereo shop and he has done some work along those lines that have blown me (and a lot of others) away. It can be done but it'll cost ya!

yea i know it will cost alot.....but do u have n e idea around how much it would b? and where i can get it done ??

nightkids,

Look around Toronto at your area stereo shops. If you have any friends, etc. that have had any work done on their rides, ask them. It's going to be time consuming and tedious. You will have to find people that can and will do the mods, then start getting quotes. Do not go with the first shop or person that say they can do what you want, shop around!!! Just make sure they are reputable and you get to see examples of their work before they get into your car! It's a lot of leg work, but if you get what you want out it, it will be well worth it.

Hey, anybody know where to get a gauge pod like the one in the last pic? Or u think it's custom?

any cheap tticket to Japan@#$%*()

any cheap tticket to Japan@#$%*()

If you get the scissor doors does it effect the rear doors?

not really
I couple of people have done it ^^^^^^^^

i cant belive im saying this, but the white one looks really hottDitto to both sentiments. On the other hand, the wing looks like a rocket launcher.

im loving this body kit, where can i get one?

http://www.cozo.net/rx-8/report/20040110/img/as04-11.jpg

That's the Ings body kit.

The power on Phoenix's demo car is amazing. 355 PS and climbing. Its projects like that which make RX-8 tuning more promising.

thats the ings. but .. judging from the rear.. thats still ms rear.... from wut i remember the rear looked diff then that.. hmm
