more info to come. . . .

I translated the information page on the kit and it didnt tell me much. All I could get out of it is that the kit will be called the RX-8 SE-02, for special edition. Sales will begin in Japan in July of this year. I couldn't find prices or anything else for that matter. So what do you think about it?

wow.....hot man.....nice kit....what company is making this?? any engine spec change?:eek: :cheers: :eek: :cheers: :eek:

the kit is made by a japanese company named Autoexe, and I have no idea about the engine specs it was all in japanese

he just said: AUTOExe

...and no, it's just a concept drawing for a body kit...

...i like the lower nose profile and the squared "chin", but the ducts are butt-ass-(that's right: butt-ASS)-ugly: sooooo Honda it's just sickening... this is rotary for god's sake, not VTEC.

second thing, those vents just in FRONT of the front wheels ought to be functional (by which i mean creating downforce by diffusing the air entering those too-small mini-ducts below the oil cooler inlets), or not there at all.

...the skirts are stupid, as they add visual weight to this already tall-sided car: i'd like 'em better if they were not even half that height.

diffuser has a nice, neat appearance, but this drawing kinda hides it behind the hood of the red car... if they can figure a way of getting the air around that whale of a muffler (it'd be better if they made a kit for a smaller/straight through muffler) then it should be A-OK. :)

[edit]: btw, i love the spoiler :D

nice find Miata35 :D

...i'd only suspect any serious amount of tuning in an RE Ameyama car... Autoexe doesn't ring in my mind as a wankel tuner.

I agree. RE Amemiya is the only tuner to still run an RX-7 in the JGTC. Their styling often clashes with my tastes, but man, do they engineer some fast 7s!

FYI, the owner of Auto Exe is an ex-Mazdaspeed employee/engineer that broke off on his own some years ago (1997 I believe?). He also competed and helped fund last year's Mazda 4-rotor LeMans and 12 Hours of Sebring event, of which he was one of the "factory" drivers. He has more experience in prototype GTP style cars whereas Amemiya-san has experience with road-based chassis.

Most of Auto Exe's aftermarket stuff is much more conservative/OEM style than RE, not disimilar to Mazdaspeed from where he came.

RE-A is also not the only rotary guy in GT300. Revolution Racing and Axia both compete albeit with RE-A widebody kits.

i've seen the kit when it was in development stage... do you have a pix of the rear end??

Sorry that is the only pic that was available that is current. But here is the photo in its developmental stages....

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!

that kit is HOT.

i think the autoexe site (www.autoexe.co.jp) has some prices up. can anyone translate? thanks.

So for the off topic post or whatever.. I was just down in Little Tokyo(L.A.) at the Kinokuniya Bookstore and came across a magazine named "Cars" There's an illustration what the RE-Amemiya RX-8 may look like. Can't read Japanese so no details. Wide body! Looks nice. Check it out..

For those that think the factory exhaust note doesn't sound aggressive enough, listen to this:
se-02.mp3 (http://www.autoexe.co.jp/temp/se-02.mp3)

sweet:) any horsepower gain?

that mp3 clip is the rx8's stock exhaust note??? are you sure???
sounds aftermarket to me..... especially the popping/backfire sounds

nope that's with the autoEXE exhaust.

that sound is sweet, it's seriously music to my ears! :D

Gorgeous! Wonder how loud that music would be in real life...:D

that is serious the best mp3 i have ever heard

when i get my rx-8 i want to get a 4 exhaust tips ... 3' each. haha

Just four? Why not get 8 tips /w an 8 inch diameter? You know 8 as in RX-8.

*drool*

4 echaust, 3' each... the cops siruns... i wont even hear it.

did anyone get that autoEXE exhaust mp3 before they took it off their page? can you link it please? :confused: :D

One of the best orchestrated music I've heard in years now available for download! Enjoy!:D

nice, thanks for that awesome clip. Definately a plus to know for perspective buyers, does anyone know any of the performance gains on this exhaust, and if anyone else is making an exhaust system besides mazdaspeed and autoexe?

The Autoexe kit is racy from the rear; I like it. But the front...well, it's not for me. The air dam is flat; there is no depth like the stock bumper (notice the slight extension of the main intake). The front kit loses the RX 8's original balance and lean pose, and instead makes the car look heavy and fat.

It seems all of you are obsessed with exhaust notes and tips.. well you asked for it. Here you go.
