We are all well aware that RE Amemiya is looked up as a God in the rotary tuning world, but why do I get the feeling that their exhaust looks heavy as well as the extra piping seem counterproductive for adding horsepower? Surely, that funky man knows a thing or two about what he is doing. Could this exhaust yield that much power that it would justify for it's design?

Dunno about it being heavier seeing that the canisters are pretty small, but agree with you regarding the complex piping being counterproductive. I guess we'll just have to wait and see until someone goes out and buys it. It looks cool though.

This is an intersting development. One mag I read said that Mazda is considering releasing a fully setup car of these 3 MS concepts. Another mag mentioned a larger intercooler and turbo on the MS Concept...

Sorry to bump old thread,

Any other company making the same style as the new Mazdaspeed rim? Does the split 5 spoke Mazdaspeed rim work with TPMS?

I know ADR Kasai and Flik Lex has same style, don't know about their quality, but another companies that make the same style?

Thanks.

for some reason knowing the auto industry i think that the US version of the mazda speed 2 rx-8 is going to be super charge. when ever if ever comes to the us, and i think they going to wait till the new 2008 nissan gtr super car comes out. other wise they will loose lots of rotary fans including ME.

I'm not digging the MSv.2 body kit, looks like the 88-91 Mugen Kits.

This car looks best with it's original lines, or the D1GT front.
