RX8 track car build at Sneed's Speed Shop
 
We are building a Rx8 track car for a customer and I thought you all might enjoy pics of the build. I'm a little behind with posting pics because of SEMA. Here are a few of the cage we build for it. I'll update with seats and interior pics later this week. You can also follow all our builds on our FB page https://www.facebook.com/sneedspeedshop?ref=hl

Nice! How did you cover the sunroof hole?

Here are the interior pics and also the pure carbon fiber sunroof delete panel. If you want one, we sell them here - Rx-8 Carbon Fiber Sunroof Replacement Panel

It looks really good, anymore photos?

I'm quite interested to see where that cold air feed go in the rear windows.

Really like that sunroof panel but dang it's pricey! Any chance for a group buy discount?!? I'd be up for one for sure with a group buy!

Waiting for engine pics, also I believe you can get a plain fiberglass panel much cheaper. IMO the CF looks way better, first time seeing one installed tho and fitment seems slightly off :(

I've add 2 more sunroof panels to our site. One is all fiber glass (lots cheaper) and one is fiber glass with carbon fiber over lay on the outside (mid priced) . You can check them out here - Mazda - RX-8 - Sneed's Speed Shop

The window intake is for a foot blower to keep the drivers legs and feet cool.

That's a really cool idea, I'll have to look into doing that myself.
