NZ Rotaman's RX8 photo shoot for G-Force magazine

Here are some photos that were taken on the day, but weren't used in the magazine.
G-Force magazine is a NZ driving and tuning mag.

Let me know your thoughts
The car is turbo charged and I have tried to make it look like what I think a factory RX8 turbo should have looked like.
Tuning of the car has been done by Brettus and also lots of helpful info from him when I set the turbo up.
Photos were taken by Brad - Editor of G-Force mag - www.g-force.co.nz
Thanks

Rotaman

The seats are MazdaSpeed out of an FD RX7. They have been made to fit to the factory RX8 rails.
At some stage I hope to change these seats for a set of Recaro's.

Brett I would happily post the article in the mag, but as yet, I have not been able to get a reply from Brad the Editor regarding getting a digital copy of it.
I don't really want to scan the mag, as it won't be as good a quality. Also copy wright laws etc.
I will keep trying to get hold of Brad.
