RX 8 wide body
 

Almost done, let me know what you think.

need pic of the rear but the lines of the car so far remind me of a vette.... looks good...

looks pretty good. space out the back wheels

Huh...lookin forward to finished pics.

thanks looking to have it painted in the next two weeks. May concider making a mold for bodies. Rear has a center exhaust with air diffuser simular to f40, and not sure what the person means by it looks like a vette.

Looking in to engine swap maybe 18b or 20b

I think just that....that it looks like a vette to him. :squint:

What color you going with?

You're not going to get very far with that 18b swap.

Actually pretty decent job here OP. Usually the custom wide body's so far have been horrible. Looks very inspired by the Hennessey Venom IMO. I like it so far, and as others have said would like to see a full shot of the rear.

Edit- is there any rhyme or reason behind the side vents or just for show, Would like to also see some go to back up the show.

Well if that doesn't move hot air out of the engine bay, then nothing will! (Of course this assumes they will be open to the bay)

I have to agree, I think from the windshield back, it looks like a vette, and from the windshield forward, well....I'm not sure........it seems to still look like an 8 with a hint of a "Z" or something.........am I way off?


Also, have to be honest, not thrilled about the top of the door and how it looks. Keep it going obviously, it ain't for me and when I see it done I may likey!

Ok back might look like a vette but the side looks like audi r8

its a start on the wide body idea, I know our bodies could stand to be a little wider if you want to use a wing set to 200+ mph :P

Thanks for the posts, the color will be stock 22v silver with black bottom lip. The rear is not complete yet but will post soon. Undecided on rear spoiler or not. Yes u are right a little of hennessey venom and lotus 300rr. I will be changing hood to inverted scoop on engine swap. I was also eliminating the rear half door like my sport cars two doors, but may make a body that will open rear later.

Yes I think the 3 rotor. Will be the way to go

If you have that kind of money I would love to know what the drag coeffecient is for this body design!

Looks good so far

all that work and you're doing a factory color? I'm not saying you need some crazy flaked out candy or anything, but silver sure seems kinda' boring to me. (just my opinion) Are these just mock up pics or? What suspension are you going with?

not my style but this is one of the better attempts i have seen. Im also wondering why would would keep a oem color for a crazy kit like this.

wow!! your going to need some better wheels and fresh coat of 3 stage paint!

Sorry I like the silver as you can see my othe car. Also added some pic for the person that said it looks like a mock up. I have lots of experience with cars I recently installed a Duramax Diesel in my H2 400 hp getting 28 mpg.
They said that would be 50,000.00 I did it for 11,000.00
Also added some pic of a Arial Atom I have built.

Thanks For the post I like the feed back.
I am the real thing!

Your other car just so happens to be a Lamborghini Diablo Roadster :P

is your atom the honda or chevy motor?

Yes chevy cobalt supercharged

Chevy cobalt supercharged, yes it's a 99 roadster silver I know plain

^..............and you might run up against the Silver curse.
Better check that out first before deciding! :scared:
