wheels feb '03
Since a couple of their contributors read this (Hi Bob!) I'll just paraphrase. It was excerts from an interview with the rx-8 Project manager.
1) Mazda will be announcing a 'suprise' in Jan '04. 2) He confirmed existence of a 280HP engine in development for the rx-8 3) 1 & 2 are expected to be linked. 4) The 280HP is expected to be a 13b N/A (10k RPM+) Sorry best I could do unless one of the wheels guys OK's it. Sadly some bastard just obliterated my car: http://members.iinet.net.au/~isedgman/ Which leaves me short of any rx-8 whatsoever since the arent here til june :( -pete |
Mazdaspeed RX8????
|
They listed the mechaincal mods to the mazdaspeed rx-8 as being exhaust and brakes. No I got the impression it was to be an MPS version. Mazdaspeed prepared, maybe, but not badged as such for export.

How did that happen? I hate to see a beautiful car like that wrecked.:(

he just turned in front of me as if he didnt see me :( You can see in the last photo that the FMIC and nose are largely intact. The car was so jacked I hit about halfway up the bonnet.

Your poor car! That makes me want to cry- such a waste! There aren't enough of them around as it is without idiots running into them.
But you're ok, it seems? |
Nice post Pete,
Sorry to hear about your car. Hope that you're ok. |

real sorry to hear about the loss of the mechanical loved one... i die a little every time i see a wrecked FD...
certainly, get a $400 junker as a cheaper-than-a-taxi mode of transportation until you get your nex Rex... |
I had something like this in mind personally: :D
|
Could you enlighten me as to what kind of car that is, and where I can get more pics and info?
Thanks, Strider- |

Concuscion (sp?) , a fair bit of blood loss and a an off-duty cop prevented me from settling things on the spot.

MPS means mazdapseed. Or if you don't believe me we can ask it Bob Hall.
