One day one day... Will have FD's heart on my 8.

 

More Panspeed from 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon:

 

I wonder what are the specs of the ce28n in the rear.... looks like 18x10.5 +18/22 or 18x9.5 +15

 

For the video which wolverine posted, if you examine the rear over fender carefully by pausing and playing from 0:37 to 0:47 you can see the bulge on the rear over fenders starting from the top of the sideskirts. I believe these are the newer wider rear over fenders they are running.

 

They look like 17's to me on the silver 8

Yeah, the two fenders do appear to be different, the bulge over the sideskirt is where I noticed it most apparent too

 

From what I know, Panspeed is 25mm. wider on each side.
Not sure if it is old model or not.


R-Magic is 50mm. wider on each side.


Anyway, Panspeed rear fenders looks bolt-on.
Should be easy to do.
R-Magic needs to be mold on. Lots of work

 

It actually looks pretty good. I think it'd be easier to get away with it with a BB, but it still looks good on silver

 

I always forget, whats the big deal about the panspeed rx8? Fastest RX8 turbo using renny or what? I just remember that whenever someone talks about it, it's like AMAGAWD PANSPEED PWNING EVERYTHING.. So just wanted to verify. :D Only team I really know a lot about is Knightsports.

 

I think panspeed might have one of the faster na rx8's but thats just my best guess based on random info from here and there.

I think people just enjoy drooling over the wide fenders, myself included

 

This is true, but look at the huge intercooler in the front.. doesn't look NA to me.

EDIT: I could be wrong now that I think as it looks more like a front screen, but if you look at the oil cooler area..looks like a piping to an intercooler.

 

Thats because its not a Rene powered beast,,,,

That showroom car above is Greddy tc, and the yellow track car is a periphial port....

 

Oooooh.. Gotcha. So it's a Peripheral port like the Knightsports RX8.. with a 2001 rx7 13B NA.. Good times. Thanks for that.

 

Panspeed has the fastest NA 8, and FD time around tsukuba I think

 

I doubt it, the fronts dont really look concave from the pics, the rears do barely, If I had to guess I would say 10 +22 in the rear, maybe 9.5 +25 in the front, not sure tho. Need a bigger pic

 

June 2007 Issue of Turbo Mag. Says they use RX-7 housing with SE3P Rotors on the spec sheet. Sorry for the crapy pics

 

I miss Turbo magazine. I have read that Mag since forever (like 1997 I think).

 

No offense, but You should check out the volk ce28n wheel specs... they don't even make the specs you stated in 18's or 17's. I know because I own a set of ce28n and I am getting a more aggressive set. These are waaaay more aggressive than my 18x9.5 +34. And the ones on the yellow panspeed 8 are concaved (by the way I was talking about the rear wheels, not the front)

Also just wanted to circle the bulge on the rear over fender. This was a pic from a couple of pages back.

 

I did not know r-magic made flares for the rx8. I did not see anything on their site or japanparts.com. Do you have a link?

 

he meant the full wide body kit

 

CE28 start concaving at 9 +22

the fronts on that car dont look concave, the rears do. and its 17x9.5 all around

thats why I said +25 +22


18x10.5 +18 looks like this
