c/f panels wont do nearly as much for the overall weight and handling of the car as some aluminum structural and suspension pieces.

And lets not make a fat pig of the kabura. Up untill now what i have seen is that they were aiming for sub-MX5 weights in the 24-2500lb range.



excuse the conotation....thats hot.


cuz its ugly as sin?

Not at all impressed. The back is fugly and the 'upgrades' hardly make it worth the ~$36K price tag.

The blue one is 1000 times better looking. And it makes me want to order those wheels even more than I already did.

Unless it's a significant power upgrade (80-100 hp) it's just another body kit...waste of effort in my opinion. Maybe the accountants are running things at Mazda right now.

Boo............. boo fo shizzle >_<

Reason why we dont get bucket seats is that most of the north americans cant fit in one....

PROBLEMS FROM PRILOSEC

"- Upgraded oil cooler"? What is that all about?

Maybe it comes with a screen to prevent road hazard incidents . . . . naaaa; Mazda wouldn't think of that!

PCM upgrade too? --by RB ...lol.. just kidding.

not far from the truth i bet

the blue mazdaspeed version 2 car is hot, it reminds me of the FD some how

I hope I dont offend but I am about to be honest...

I keep reading about this Mz Tune Rx8 (Silver) and everytime I read I feel insulted. Like this would be a good enough answer to all of our requests for more performance and or better looks.

I believe if your going to update the look of a car then it should look like it was designed that way from factory. The Mz Tune Rx8 looks like they picked a peice of plastic and slapped it on the front and rear of the car.

The side skirts however do look nice and look identical to the ver 2 (Blue) mazdaspeed kit which is just stunning :bowdown: in my opinion. They actually replaced the entire bumper and made it look like its all one peice (awsome) and not a layered body kit.

If anything they should be offering the updated suspension and ECU tunning to all Rx8's from 2004 to 2006. Any new Rx8's should have this (at the very least...if no other power upgrades are available) as standard equipment!

I think if this is released the price of the original MS kit will go up. :D:

The front is just a lip added to the stock bumper. :dunno:

Not sure what they were thinkin' Unless.... it is made to be a rally car. :)

I am willing to bet that the lips vents are not even functional. Hell, even if they were it stil looks like a peice shit! :doh:

That lip is the equivalant to adding a nonfunctional hood scoop. :evil_laug

Damn that blue one looks hot. Any pics of the rear?

That is just pure bliss...(Hears the heavenly music) :icon_droo :FIREdevil

You can find a lot of these pics in this old thread.....

Just for clarification, some are calling the above blue MS RX-8 the Mazdaspeed RX-8 ver. II; but it is not the ver. II.

The MS car shown above was featured at last years Tokyo Auto Salon but was never put into production. The MS ver. II. was a previous production model MS RX-8 in Japan and I believe was limited to just 300 units. The ver II featured the older original MS body kit, the one above has an entirely different body kit. Only the color is similar.

your right, my bad, it should have beeng the version 3 :)

It's the 2nd Gen RX-8 :D:

it could have being the supoused refresh the car was getting in 2007 :mdrmed:

I forgot about the refresh already. :lol:


RX-Hachi I thought referring to the new blue as the Version 2 MS was incorrect. :cool:

Mazda, could you explain why the CX-7 is getting better treatment i.e. the pic below and not the RX-8?!

I want those brakes for the 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn that Mazdaspeed tune sucks.


Its like the Prodrive model in the UK, better suspension etc but no more power, (& the Mazdaspeed one is UGLY!)

Now the stupid Mazda 3 MPS has more power than Madas "top of the line" sport model, the RX8. Thats silly, and it pisses me off, tbh.

Mazdaspeed need to make an uber RX8! (or call it an MPS!)
