MF technology have done a blue GReddy turbo RX-8 witha GREX 6pot brake system with chrome calipers..and HUGE slotted rotors..Tein flexes with EDFC

he drove his car into a pole while drifting and since then sports a replica Mazda speed body kit built by MF (fibreglass).. no fitment issues have seen it personally and havnt noticed anything common to the ebay ones..

in addition he got the GReddy exhaust which hie is getting rid of in-place of a larger system for his turbo...he has defi guages and chrome Stern 19.8.5 inch rims .

Garage 5 did 2 rx-8s in richmond with the greddy turbo last week..

so many turbo hey, but i am keeping mine as NA.
when they came to a problem with the engine, is a PAIN to take out everything and bring it back to dealers for recall..

it would be fun.. but pretty useless in this city i must say.. unless ofcourse you have lots of $$$.. in that case i would buy an FD and then do the motorswap... the renesis is to perfect an engine for the 8...
