Will post the FD & RX-8 pics maybe later today.

Also that RX-8 is 206kW not 184kW.

Its due for release here in April - June.

Red Mica called Vivrant red ?

Hard case colour. Its red with a goldy flake through it.

looks great under artificial light.

other colours are.....

A new blue
a New Yellow
Titanium Grey
Snowflake white (I think)
Black (Brilliant probabaly)
Silver (also a new colour I think)

So if it's not for sale why is it at your dealership? (I am assuming you work at a dealer) Is it there for test drives? Pictures? Torture?

206KW is 280PS or 276HP for those scoring at home.

I wonder if the car is just tuned differently...

Was in New Zealand

Its gone now :(

Was at North Harbour Mazda for about a week.

From now all you will get to see is my RX7 in the weekends as the RX-8 is back off to Japan.

We were the only dealership to get it.

I have heaps more pics who can I send them too.

I'm still waiting for the other ones but should have them next week.

The RX-7and RX-8 ones are the best but there is a bit of a size diffence mainly in height not width or length.

Just sent you the from the first day the RX-8 was here.

These shouldn't be blurry as I took them :)

I also sent you a pic of a brand spanking new Mazda 323 which I got a hold of and give a twinkle.

Also a pic of my RX-7 less the MazdaSpeed goodies :D

That RX-8 shown not only has more horses it also looks like it was lowered about an inch.

At the Sydney Motorshow last year, My dad saw an RX8 that was heavily tinted so you couldn't see the interior and he thought that it was kind of a mock up just for the show, aka not the real deal. But this one looks to have the goods. How did they get 206kW version?

Maestro
02-09-2003, 03:58 PM
Will get those from the guy with the camera hopefully today :D

You're one lucky dude Maestro.....

We got an auto show coming up later in the month, but knowing our lame dealers/promoters here, we wont even get a sniff at an RX-8. I bet they won't even have brochures.

Maestro
03-11-2003, 05:18 PM
We don't have brochures :(

The car is back in Japan now :(

Got these though !!!!!

How can you already have the Mazdaspeed Mazda6. Mazda won't even admit to us that they are seriously considering it, and they certainly haven't said anything about them already being sold in other markets. Post a pick of one sitting in your showroom.

note that that is a mazdaspeed concept and not the mps concept shown at places in europe. also i think he meant they got the pics of that car and not that they actually had one for sale

Maestro
04-03-2003, 05:31 PM
Its a Mazda6 with a MazdaSpeed Bodykit.

Having trouble posting pics :(

The Turbo AWD MPS version is due in December.

If anyone has a Mazda6 and watnts the MS bodykit I can post the part numbers.

Maestro
04-03-2003, 05:34 PM
Correct

But we do sell Mazda6's with MazdaSpeed bodykits from the showroom.

I'm working one at the moment with 1/2 the catalogue in it.

oh, ok. I thought you were saying you already had the all-wheel drive turbo 6speed model. Have they already officially 100% decided to release the car or is it still speculation as it is here? Hell they haven't even made up their minds on the Mazdaspeed Miata. first it was 100% going to be built, then they canceled the program, and now they're saying they think they're going to go ahead and make it.
Could you give me the part #'s for the Mazdaspeed body kit. I've been talking to the owner at my dealer about dressing up a couple of Mazda6's with the Mazdaspeed stuff, but I haven't been able to find part #'s. Do they sell pretty well with all that added?

zoom44
04-03-2003, 06:45 PM
thanks Maestro for clearing that up. i didn't realize that the mazdaspeed bits for the 6 were available already.

now on to the mps version. charlie hughes or some other big time guy were quoted somewhere (it was even posted on this forum but i didn't search yet) saying that the awd for the mps version wasn't ready yet( they didn't like the one that was available?) so that was either going to delay the car or they might make do without. i think they opted for the delay.

catalog? is that available on line, like if you were to scan and post for us? might give a hint of what is to come for the rx-8:)

found the awd quote -sort of. it was originally linked to by me in this thread (http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=960&highlight=awd) after someone else showed it to me. however you will find that the link is broken.

the article is on wards auto and it is from last october. it is the third one down on this page (http://wardsauto.com/microsites/TopicSearchResults.asp?qry=mps&srid=10250&magazineid=1004&siteid=26&pageid=1126) but since i am not a registered member i can't get to the article. since grimace works for gm he might be able to get in and retrieve it for us, i think they have some agreement. anyone else registered there? i am not paying to get to it. :)
