View Full Version : Final-Final pre production pictures! Mazda man 10-13-2002, 02:47 PM I am going to the Birmingham motor show on the 25 and the final final pre production Rx-8 will be there! Im going to take lots of pictures so if anybody wants a picture of a certain part of the Rx-8 just tell me! miata35 10-13-2002, 04:50 PM I want to see plenty of pictures of the center console, if you can get that close. And try to get some pics of the mirrors I would like to see how they have changed :D Hercules 10-13-2002, 04:51 PM Just get all you can and let's see them :) fuz 10-13-2002, 05:37 PM Yah, take as many as you can of everything. You can always throw out the bad ones, but you'll never be able to take more once you've left. I'd like to see the trunk and engine if at all possible. ;) Toadman 10-13-2002, 06:08 PM Just get all you can and let's see them Whatever you can get.

I had to sacrafice a chance to go and "help" with the setup of a stand because of bloody work! What I do for them... and it's all in vain too! Still, I'll do my best to get some good shots, If I can find the charger for my camera! bulletproof21 10-13-2002, 06:46 PM actually, of all the pics of the rx-8 I have seen already, I have not seen a straight side shot of the car with the front door open and the rear door still closed. If you could get a shot of that it would be great.

Not high rez, but:- http://www.fsck.co.uk/rx-8/rx8-2.8-clean.jpg or http://www.autosite.se/wankel/bilder/rx-8.JPG Classic proportions, reminds me of an E-Type FHC... It'll be a sure fire classic in a few years. Donny Boy 10-13-2002, 07:42 PM lookin forward for all new pics. From whatever source. Thanks. Jerome81 10-14-2002, 02:26 AM What does final final pre-production mean? As in, "the finalized design that will be seen in production models" (the supposed face lift, mono-color interior and slightly redesigned headlamps) or "the final design before the finalized production design" (as in the yellow RX-8 we've seen a million times)?? Get a lot of pics! Mazda man 10-14-2002, 04:21 AM I am only 14 years old and they might just think im just wanting inside all the cool cars so that might restrict the pics i can get. I wonder if they will have the engine bay closed like at the last shows? PS. I said final final because supposedly they are not going to change the Rx-8 from this model. :p BlueAdept 10-15-2002, 07:44 PM Originally posted by Mazda man I am only 14 years old and they might just think im just wanting inside all the cool cars so that might restrict the pics i can get.

I imagine it has some sort of "Milk Float" power... to move it about the stand, which suggests also that the boot (Trunk) is a mess! zoom44 10-15-2002, 09:29 PM hey blue you got your avatar pinched so you got yourself a new one eh!

I couldn't resist :P SPDFRK 10-15-2002, 11:08 PM If you boys can sneek in and give a yank to the bonnet release to see what end pops up you could make a lot of us happy. :D Hercules 10-15-2002, 11:36 PM Originally posted by SPDFRK If you boys can sneek in and give a yank to the bonnet release to see what end pops up you could make a lot of us happy. :D BONNET RELEASE?!?!? You're a Brit aren't you!!!!! *British detection turned on* Hehe, I love when BlueAdept says "boot" instead of trunk :D BlueAdept 10-16-2002, 04:16 AM Originally posted by zoom44 hey blue you got your avatar pinched so you got yourself a new one eh!

I still say Detroit will be the site for the World-wide lauch in January and everyone will be pleasantly surprised IMHO.:D :D :D bwayout 10-16-2002, 05:41 PM Originally posted by boowana ...

Originally posted by Hercules Probably, but it will more likely be the yellow car that's been to every show instead of a final product like we hope to see at Detroit. Mazda man 10-17-2002, 03:42 PM I'm betting you will not see the final-final at the UK show but one of the ones you've seen before. The pre-motor show report in the Herald newspaper said that it was the final pre production model so it will probably be the red one that we are beginning to see pictures of. zoom44 10-17-2002, 05:00 PM don't bet on that:) m477 10-17-2002, 09:03 PM Well, I for one will be at the Detroit show and taking lots of pictures. The Detroit shows for the next few years should prove to be pretty good, with cars the RX-8, C6, new Supra, new RX-7, new NSX...

Take pictures! :) InBlackPlease 10-18-2002, 06:41 AM Hopefully Mazda will have a good showing at the Chicago show also. In the past they have used Chicago to debut quite a few cars, including last years Special Edition Miata. I just want something there so that I don't have to listen to my Honda friend the whole time. ;) Mazda man 10-22-2002, 02:34 AM I saw the Mazda stand in the background on a Tv program and the Rx-8 there looks it maybe the yellow one.:( It aso looks like the 6 MPS is there too. |
