After 1 year My 90% CARBON FIBER RX8!!!!

NEW Better Quality DIGI CAM PICS IN PAGE 9 BOTTOM
Pics in first post are from mobile


Ok so here it is..The final step of the 4 years transformation of my rx8...
After a long waiting(12 months almost) i changed everything again from my white-black combo which except being too heavy was also very bad constructed...Now the car is around 1100-1200kg estimated and with the turbo kit 3 i m installing soon in my new engine,it will go like a devil..

So pretty much everything is carbon fiber super strong and super light weigh.Just for example the front door from around 20kg now weights 4!!!!

Nothing is bought,everything was custom made and no fiberglass layers on the carbon parts only carbon layers and the fitment is amazing!!!The front-rear fenders,bumpers and all the interior constructions was made from the beggining and are very ligh weight too cause in the white black were extremely heavy and the constuctions not good..

So we have a unique and very expensive colour for the exterior-interior which is orange-red with green-gold-yellow effects and the pics cant show it exactly..
4 carbon door
Custom carbon wing
Carbon vents in the front fenders
Carbon vents in the rear fenders
Carbon side part on the side skirts with vent
Carbon roof
Carbon trunk
Carbon hood with vents
Carbon vents in the front bumper
Carbon in the oil radiators position on the front bumper
Carbon lip on the front bumper
Carbon in the bottom of the rear fenders
Carbon in the licence plate position
Carbon exhaust surrounding
Carbon sub boxes in the trunk(from around 60kg we went to 1.5 !!)
Carbon in the steering wheel
Carbon in the interior side of the side skirt
Carbon in the center console sides
Carbon seats(next week and around 1kg each!!! The stock are temporary)
Carbon eyelids
Carbon covers for the engine(when i install the turbo)
Front fenders with vents
Vents in the rear bumper
Automated fuel door
Better wider rear fenders without corners like in the white-black
Bride D1 hood locks
Wider front and rear
1.5 spacers rear which with my 10.5 rim,-5mm offset makes the car extremely wide!
LSD mechanisms in the doors (I got rid the crappy gt doors cause i had problem due to being universal etc)

Almost all the constuctions in the interior are now painted in the car colour and i got rid the dirty suede from all the interior and made myself a very stylish leather interior.Also the car was dropped in the front and i installed the stock tailights not smoked this time.


If you like i can post all the mods too but this will take us 1-2pages for sure!! :p

Just to let you know the weather today was very cloudy and the pics are with a 5mpixel mobile so you cant see how the car is at person...I will get better pics as soon as we have good sunny weather and the interior pics coming late this week...the car is not exactly finished we have some details left and the car is dirty!!

So lets cat all the crap and throw some pics!!

Holy crap. whoa.
I dont even know where to start
Nice work. Sickest 8 everrrr.
Rear reminds me of the Furai. All you need now is a rotary exhaust tip
Cant wait to see what youve done to your interior. Talk about a transformation...
lol

Youre rediculous. For the money you've put into this car only to undo and put in more... you couldve had anything.

that's fine. you have an rx8, so your opinion is even more worthless. How's that for stereotyping?

by the way... 2001 called, said they want their doors back...

hey now... both y'all relax... last thing we'd want is an argument on the internets.

this dude is obviously insane... he says stock seats are temporary while waiting for carbon seats next week... then WHY would you color match new leather on the seats to match it?? Its not even how much money was spent on the car... its how much money was wasted on the car.

Because you're 100% sure that I don't have an rx8 right?

I already told you that I appreciate the custom fab work. It's just unfortunate that the 200 lbs you saved was completely offset with all that stereo equipment in back. And actually, many of those panel gaps are simply appalling! I'd take it back to whoever assembled it if I were you.

Have you heard any gay jokes with that exhaust yet?

You are posting this in the photo section... obviously looking for people's opinion on your car. Just because people don't have the same tastes as you, there's no need to get defensive...

Did you expect all positive comments, posting up a car like that? It's clearly not everyone's cup of tea.

Car looks sick. I just wish it was all black... Here's to 2009? LOL J/K! I don't understand why people have to throw in their two cents about how someone's money is spent. But to each their own...

Im not saying you shouldnt do what you want... The car looks crazy. Just with all the work put into the white widebody and interior... i cant believe you just ripped it out and did it again.

But its a show car right? Saving the weight from carbon fiber does nothing with the stereo in back, but you wouldnt race this kind of car anyway... youd just strip the interior out of a stock car.

This isnt a car vs car discussion, never was. This is random people on "teh intarwebz" commenting on your car. Whether the guy drives and s2k or rx8 his comment would likely be the same. People are people, their taste dictates their choice of car, not the other way around. I think you car belongs at HIN and other shows if you were on this side of the planet. You'd probably clean up at smaller shows. Its not for everyone but as far as the "modified mag" crowd goes, thats amazing. And yea i can comment on money. Because if you spend 100,000$ modifying a 30,000$ car... thats a bit crazy. If you only spent 10k and did most of the work yourself, then thats amazing and congrats. Either way, its easier for me to assume that you're insane and go about my day.

Im pretty sure I liked your car in the 2007 phase more. I think if it was one color or the scheme was done differently it would look better. The hood is pretty cool. Do you have a picture of the exhaust not on the car? Is it just a straight pipe with a muffler?

I dont know.. i think both sides should post their opinions. but the problem is they criticism that has been given is not constructive, which is where I think they went in the wrong. on a side note, I agree with you though, the 8 is sick man. way to be different, gaurantee there isnt even anything close to a non-identical twin to this car on the road.

I give it

I like it! I could certainly never afford it and probably wouldn't try to, but I think it's badass nonetheless..
