sorry had to resize pictures

It's gonna look sick! RX8 already has a sorta sidebody look with those bulging fenders but this takes it to another level.

LOoks great, how did you do the led in the head light

This does look quite good!

Alot better then other wide bodys for the 8

ShellDude 01-27-2011 11:41 AM

I have an idea of the time, effort and talent it takes to do this... hat's off to you in that regard, but this is simply not my style. would have to pass.

Also, you lost your suicide doors! say it isn't so !!!

FazdaRX_8 01-27-2011 11:44 AM

Could you tell me how you made them

You will have to cut your headlights apart. Then drill in leds and run wires to your parking lights. I will be offering this option in the future. I hope to be at some east coast car shows starting Feb.

Still a lot of work to complete.

Will be at Daytona 24 hour This weekend with car.

Nice project but I don't like it. Sorry.
Rear huge openings in a car that has the engine placed in the front is pure fail. Running with a parachute would be the same thing.

Most front engine race cars with rear intakes us air to cool rear brakes. Also with the front side fender being out that far it will not allow a lot of air into the rear.

But thank

here are a few examples

bse50 01-27-2011 02:03 PM

I see one race car with little vanes, a failside rx7 (definitely not a race car and slower than the stock rx7 too...) and another show car.
You should take this kind of car into consideration instead:

FazdaRX_8 01-27-2011 03:17 PM

This is the only Mid engine Rear orientation rotary I know of(other than the classic 787s), it participates in the Belgian Touring Car Series.

:lol: could that eyebrow be any lower, how do you see to drive out of that thing?!? :D:

Rotr8 01-27-2011 10:11 PM

Its like any race car, the seat is much lower than an actual 8 to lower the center of gravity

darielon1 01-28-2011 08:53 AM

wheels
 
i have rx8 2005. and i want to work on ti, the color is gray. first thing i wanna do is to get me some nice wheels and lower it . any ideas?

I dunno dude, take a look at this pic again, even with a lowered seat it looks like you'd need a periscope to drive it, then if you're wearing a fullface? yikes. :lol: (I'm about 5'6-7", it'd be a struggle even for me)

http://i55.tinypic.com/2j67a76.jpg

edit: nevermind, I think I figured it out, you just have to roll straight gangsta' style :D:

Megan racing makes some lowering springs that can be add very easy. Or you can get full adjustable.

Rotr8 01-30-2011 09:56 AM

Like most race cars the entire dash is also pushed lower to accommodate such a low driving position. You can see how much lower when you look at the role cage position on the far door where our tweeters usually are. Lois like the dash has been lowered about 3-4 inches.

olddragger 01-30-2011 08:52 PM

dude---dont know about the rear end-----the exhaust is not my cup of tea. Maybe one like the LFA would be cool?
I have oftern wondered about where the license plate goes--what do you think about a smaller custom place on the trunk and then that big area on the bumper could be filled in and smoothed all the way across. That would allow more balance with the diffuser and single site exhaust?
Just throwing stuff out there.
Very low profile roof vent?
Really like the front--you know what would be really cool?
Center steering wheel position!!
you got the touch bro--congrats.

You guys are so funny (no i got it for free as a b-day gift jk.) All you have to do is go on ebay Japanese Performance Engines it was 4000.00 with shipping from Canada, and yes they have more about 10.

lepichichi 02-01-2011 10:09 AM

Adamrotor 02-04-2011 03:33 PM

the front is kool

the back is horrendous

Blacknightz 02-07-2011 01:30 AM

Good job.... Nice sides like the Venom Hennessey... The rears looks corvette... Good job on the work...

The exhaust part is admirable... Just get the inner depths painted black and u should be fine...


PS: u want those thin fins on?
