Cody, I would think no since the alum hood on the 8 is already very light. with all those vents even though CF is lighter, there is a lot more material...... guess we will have to wait to see what he says.

Town Drunk.... man I love the MS kit on the yellow!!!! I wish I could put one on. 
your car needs the clear corners though. yellow and orange dont go together very well. Either way, very nice looking car!!! I'm Jeliouse

Thanks. I've thought about the clear corners, yours look nice. Maybe I will at some point.
Yeah, I think if you put the MS Kit on the front would be on the ground!! LOL

Tell 'em "it's Mazdaspeed, does the rule still apply?"
even though it probably would kit the ground. I LOVE your 8 speeddemon, can't believe you're selling it!

Thanks Cody. I like it to It looks like I will be keeping it for the time being. maybe in a year or so I will re think about getting the Evo.
(right now the car is worh 21,300 and I owe exactly that. I want to go into the evo with a nice down payment from the RX-8, so I will just have to wait.... no biggy.)
Mazdaspeed still does not qualify since it is not factory Mazda. IF there were a MAZDASPEED verssion of the RX-8 that would be one thing, but right now its considered an aftermarket part. I have treid. my wing is accually illigal, but no one has been mean enough to complain yet. we are running the ProSolo next weekend (part of the reason we are to busy to play XBOX right now ) and they WOULD complain so I will have to pull the top deck off just for that race. :/

No! EVO for the lose! Yellow RX8s are Superior to everything..honest!
The sad thing is, when Forza 2 comes out there STILL wont be any good real word mods to put on it, I bet, still just a 13b swap out!

Speaking of Forza and Yellow RX-8s, thought I'd repost a few pics of my Forza RX-8. It's a reproduction of the Grand Am ST Championship winning #70 SpeedSource car.

OMG! that must have taken you ages!
I was retuning the Forza game yesterday to make the RX8 run like mine.
I added the pulley mod, the light flywheel and short shifter and the mk2 tires, then retuned the gearing so that the gears reflect real life better... The games changes are all wrong cos the game was out pre RX8 I think....
Nice!

oddly enough, the EARLY prototype that R&T tested was a yellow 8 with yellow inserts. I thought it looked pretty awesome too. I wonder why it was a no-go.
