Ever Seen this 8?
 
just saw this vid on youtube today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkFKDI3cWYo


I really like the look of the mazdaspeed bumper with no other body work, no side trim, no splash gaurds, spoiler etc. It looks as if this is the setup in the vid, but I can't tell for sure. Has anyone heard of this "ballistic bodyworks" rx8?

Also, the exhaust sounds good, anyone tell what it is from the tone? I pmed the poster of the vid but no reply.


Thanks,
Dreas

hmm a read an article on an 8 with only a mazdaspeed front but it had a 20b with some huge turbo on it. and that thing sounds nothing like my turbo 8, maybe it's the car i read about a few years back

And after seeing that video, my answer to whether I've seen it is 'Yes'.

Found a Car and Driver article about the protech turbo rx8:

http://www.rotaryeng.net/Turbo-RX8a.jpg
http://www.rotaryeng.net/Turbo-RX8b.jpg

...has different, wheels, bumper, sticker, so i dont think its the same car, although I guess all that may have been changed.
