I think you mean...it opens the 'video' window and lists several automanufactures with the holden video loading first...all you do is click on hold on the down arrow (small and black to the right of the listed manufactures) and it will page down the list then click on mazda, it will load and that terd starts singing his song

The head light covers are on the white RX-8 with the turbo. The tail lights are tint or black too.

My friend had tinted headlights. You can't see sh*t with them. Like wearing sunglasses at night, might look cool, but you can't see anything.

They are level with the ground, not the body lines of the car.

What do you mean? Look at the pictures you posted of the exhaust manifold/turbo.
That is the Greddy setup.

You got to see that with your own eyes last week, remember?

Personally I think it is the same turbo setup done by Rotormaster here in Sydney, then again, how many different interpretations of a setup could there be, considering there are not that many on the market?

Not an interpretation - that is the exact manifold, right down to the welds.

Plus, that is a Trust wastegate - identically located and plumbed as the Greddy manifold.

I intend to copy that manifold to some extent, so I am intimately familiar with it. I spent a fair amount of time on my back on the carpet at SEMA.

post some pics of the greddy setup. the greddy one looked cast to me where as this one is fabricated.
also dose the greddy have an external gate? I'd bet they have an internal one for price reasons.

I don't have any pics - the focal length on my Sony was too long to get it under the car and get focused snaps.

The manifold was fabbed and the wastegate was external. In this particular case, the external wastegate is almost mandatory because of the limited space at the turbo location - it would be almost impossible to get the downpipe tu turn to the cat were it even an inch shorter.
An integral WG would have put the discharge flange almost two inches closer to the passenger footwell. You can see that the WG is is a Trust unit.

Most production Greddy systems use cast manifolds, but I'm sure the prototypes are hand fabbed.

It's most definately NOT the Greddy kit, whoever said it's a copy of the Rotormaster setup is correct.
