This is my 2006 Mazdaspeed RX-8

Can it divide by zero?
If not then it's not a true MS 8 :p: :lol:

Need some practice with that camera focus....Car looks go though!

doesn't the pillar gage pods mean your airbags won't work?

mysql101 02-17-2008 07:22 PM

weird. I know 2004 didn't have white as an available color, but I am sure by 2006 they weren't shipping Rx-8's with black washer bottles either.

airbags aren't located there, silly.

Funny I was wondering about the black washer tank too. My 2005 White did not have a black tank. Did someone get an old black tank, or, the dreaded question, did someone paint the car?

some of the 05 white 8's did have black washer tanks, and some of them had clear tanks....all depends on the build date

It has airbag symbols on it but it's actually not located in the piller. It's above the piller in the roof lining.

hmm interesting.

Spinning Sushi 02-17-2008 07:42 PM

I can't find a picture of it right now. You can go out to your car and pull off the piller, they're all clips and you'll see what I mean. :)

Nightfox 02-17-2008 07:46 PM

well actually i deployed the airbag and put the gauges there, the passenger pillar airbag is still intact

SayNoToPistons 02-17-2008 08:03 PM

News flash. Mazdaspeed parts does not make your RX8 a Mazdaspeed RX8.

Nice 8 though :) .

what did you dyno at?

Nightfox 02-17-2008 10:30 PM

I dyno at 347 whp 274 ft/pd at 6800 and i just ordered some greddy pulleys because greddy recommends them before the stage 3 upgrade, they also recommend them before the stage 2 upgrade but i put the stage 2 in before i got the pulleys but it runs fine so whatever

Nightfox 02-17-2008 10:38 PM

StealthTL 02-17-2008 10:41 PM

Looks like you blew it with your dyno claim.

No printout, no 347hp.......

Nightfox 02-17-2008 10:49 PM

your right dude its bullshit, when i ordered the parts i asked the vendor around what i would be running and thats what he told me, never actually paid for a dyno yet, but when i got the parts that is what i was told it would dyno, ive raced it several times and was not dissapointed

ivory8 02-17-2008 10:50 PM

stickers give me 25 hp and 12 ft/pd of torque each. trust me, i can feel the power difference

lol none the less, nice car bro...it looks good

Depends on your boost levels. You'll see anywhere from 240 whp to 280 whp on the greddy turbo.

It's going to be physically impossible to get 350 out of it.

EdwardsB 02-17-2008 11:04 PM

I have a dumb question for all you FI folk...why not run the intake thru the front like t he MS cold air intake. I understand you run it thru a inter cooler, but wouldn't it be better to start with cooler air?

Nice car by the way
