seems like the rx8 in the first vid was converted into a manual from a AT. it had a manual shift boot and it was in neutral position

thats the buddy club kit. thats exactly what my rx8 will eventually look like.

SDFGSDFG yhjsy thats sexy as ****. turbo and buddy club. wtf is with this economy. my portfolio lost over $1000 last month. how am i supposed to afford the luxuries in life while i bleed money out of my ***?

anyone know what turbo kit that is? i didnt think there were any v-mount intercooler kits out there. it looks sexy as all hell.

at 2:19 when he hits the gas, man does that thing take off.

SEXY *** VIDEO OMAR!

I'm quite confused about the whole Manual/Automatic thing... The only thing that says "Automatic" to me is the steering wheel.

The gauges pod it definitely from a manual (automatic has a display showing PRND, etc...) The shifter definitely looks to be manual (although it is possible to just install a boot over the automatic shifter, as it's been done here before)

There is a shot in the video where the RPM's basically drop from 6k to nothing and then back to about 4k without him touching the shifter, so that definitely seems like Auto...

i believe the rx8 in the first video has an rx7 swap in it.

i am also confused with the auto and manual thing, but hey it might have been converted to SMG

I say it was originally an automatic RX8 but had a 13B-REW swap with an RX7 tranny to go with it.
