I think the main reason Mazda doesn't want to go too hot on the performance (enigne mods) side of things is they have the Renesis working good right now (for the most part), and adding forced induction wouldn't go to well with the people at Ford (who ultimately make the decisions) because of what happened with the last generation FD3S RX-7's twin turbo 13B nightmare. The most power upgrades we'll ever see will probably be exhaust, intake, ECU upgrade, and upgraded cooling hardware, which will mean we'll be lucky to get another 30-bhp if even.


And is it just me, or does the picture of the brakes on the MS CX-7 look tiny as hell or what? I would personally like to see some 6-piston Brembos on the MS RX-8.

The reflection from the building on the left side of the car creates a nice line which makes this 8 look more aggressive. Damn I want those rims...

the blue 8 pictured above is what the rx8 refresh should look like, that thing is gorgeous! when i first saw the brake kit on the cx7, ms3 and this rx8 i thought "this has ENDLESS written all over it" and they r from endless! thats cool!

you dont need 100 more hp for a speed8 to be significantly better.

imagine it being 100 pounds less, a 4:90 final drive, slightly wider and stickier tires on slightly lighter wheels, lightweight flywheel and better clutch, decent intake and exhaust work, the much needed oil cooler idea must be kept and some significant lowering and stiffeneing of the suspension and youd have a time attack car in a heartbeat. if they kept it in the 35k range and used the above pictured body kit id definately buy it!!!!!!!!

Those wheel on the blue 8 need to be chrome or highly polished.

Ehhh ... the M'z tune or whatever looks SO stock! Come on ... at least some nicer rims or big brakes! Most (if not all) of the "upgrades" we can already buy ourselves (exhaust, flywheel, suspension). Not to beat a deadhorse ... but the Tokyo Autoshow blue 8 is probably what the majority of us are lusting after.
