Looks amazing! Nice job. I really like this. At first I thought it would be another one of those crappy builds, but by the end of the slide show, I was in shock how sick it looks now. Out of curiosity, how much did you spend in total on this build?

Lots of work went into your ride! Not feeling the 4 exhaust tips though. How do you like the Pettit SC? Any other 8s by you with FI?

shame it did not get the right response from the u.k Mazda RX8 owners club and was slated by one or two OF the club moderators hence i left the club

i do not mind constructive criticism, and it would not be right to like all the mods, at least here in the USA its had a better reception and members can see just how much work has gone into this. this is another reason from bowing out of any further shows all but one this is the jap meet in June and not the U.Ks rotor-stock 7





some of the members have asked how much the extra cost this project has been well you the members in the USA are lucky just for instance

pettit supercharger will cost £6000/£7000 pound depending on the exchange rate.

HKS camp2 £1000.00

HKS FCON IS £750.00

this is all down to taxes shipping and our labour market

paint job £8000.00 the car was stripped down completely

then you still got the interior, brakes, suspension, lighting, body kit, mazdaspeed wing, lambo doors in total 83 major modifications to me well its lightend my wallet but has helped me through a tough illness and as this is in full remission now, the project has helped me think of what was important in life

my partner amanda and my closest friends who i could not of done this a big thank you to the car well you can see the end result i like it thats all that matters when i open the front DOOR each morning i it makes me smile worth it i should co co !

AKA AGENT ORANGE
AKA EXILED-VIKING
AKA TANGO-TONY

wow, that's a LOT of work you put into your RX8, congrats on a job well done.
While I agree with others that not everything is to my taste, I recognize that a great deal of planning, work, and money went into this car. Bravo.

Some would argue that you should have just bought a porsche 911 or something but I know what you mean by the satisfaction of creating something unique through your own endevour .
Well done sir.
