The Beav

can anybody translate some of there shots for me?


please say that isn't the price each? that'd be about 500 dollars a wheel


what are these just for show or do these have a purpose

The Beav

so what's this too

Cylo

looks like an armrest.

The Beav

i guess i just don't see it then, but that does look like the window controls off a door

Ahura

That pad is for your leg. You use it to brace yourself when you're cornering.

The Beav

that sounds pretty resonable, wouldn't that be the reason for lumbar/bolstering (can't remember which is which right now)

Cylo

Ok, I can see that now... remember everything is on the driver's right so the pics make sense now.

edit... err... the driver is on right side of the vehicle, and the big picture is the drivers left (center console) and the small is the door panel (driver's right)

got alittle ahead of myself. It was in a previous (about 4 months ago) issue of SCC. I just got the most recent issue yesterday and found this.

So as i said, pass the salt im eating my words.

Lightweight and the high rigidity wheel by aluminum forge 1 piece.
It supports sport driving, that Improvement in a handling performance etc by the highly efficient and the cool design.


* When equipping with this, that need the exclusive long adapter.(350 Japanese Yen)
* When equipping with 17inch wheel (17X7.5JJ) for 16inch wheel type car, need 225/50 R17 tyre.
When equipping with 18inch wheel (18X8.0JJ) for 16inch wheel type car, need 225/45 R18 tyre.
It is required separately.

* Separately attachment part set (4.500 Japanese Yen)
Center cap (carbon) 1set (16.000 Japanese Yen)
Center cap (Rays logotype) 1set is also set up.(12.800 Japanese Yen)
* A center cap (flat type) cannot equip 17 inches.


* All the prices of the goods carried by this site are main part prices. Attachment expense and the consumption tax are not included.
* According to terminal environment, the difference between an actual color and a few may arise.


>please say that isn't the price each? that'd be about 500 dollars a wheel.
17X7.5JJ ...... 60.000 Yen X 4 = 240.000 Yen (1set)
18X8.0JJ ...... 66.000 Yen X 4 = 264.000 Yen (1set)

2p:
With the feeling of a material of the carbon used also for a racing car, sport-likeness was emphasized also to the side view.


For acrylics visor non-equipped vehicles.
For acrylics visor equipped vehicles.

>what are these just for show or do these have a purpose
.......? A free improvement in image


3p:
>so what's this too
......for your knee

Ernie, Chuck at Rotary Extreme has the Mazdaspeed kit for the 8 now.
I would imagine that he will have replica parts avaiable when the 8 becomes available here in the states.

cgoddess

You know Chuck? Chuck does not actually have the kit in his hands right now. His cousin, Ronald, is the one that actually does all the body kit stuff. Ronald is in Japan right now getting the kit, however, he says it is hard to get there. Ronald will be making a knock off of the MazdaSpeed kit for the US people. He should be back any day now.

However, it will take about a month for his container with the kit in it to be delivered to the US. After that, you are looking at another month for the mold to be made and the first kit to be tossed out of the mold. You are looking at about a 2-3 month wait in the US for a replica MazdaSpeed kit.

MazdaSpeed WILL NOT be offering the real kit in the US. That is direct from the horse's moth from one of the big mucky mucks at MazdaSpeed.

Hope that helps!

ninedeep

General question......Does the MazdaSpeed kit come pre painted?

The Beav

yep, you can get them unpainted as well on request it's about a 100 dollars cheaper

ZEXC-33

ROFL u need permission to buy Mazdaspeed parts???

Dude just log on to japanparts.com, click on Mazda, then RX8....theres all the Mazdaspeed parts u want.

Fd3BOOST

My mistake, I misread his post in nopistons.
He says he will have the parts in a few weeks tops.
Either way like I originally said. He will most likely have the parts available when the car is.

Kurt Bob

FYI, Mazda Competition and Mazdaspeed are now the same entity. I just thought I would make that correction.

rotarynews.com

But Mazda Comp here in the US can't sell Japanese Mazdaspeed parts. There was a ton of pollitical stuff that went on in the merging of Mazdaspeed back into Mazda... and somehow the contract was written where Brian and the guys in Irvine couldn't sell Mazdaspeed brand parts.

cgoddess

well, Ronald came back yesterday evening. So it looks like the Mazdaspeed replica kit should be available in about 2-3 months. Just though I would update you all!

beav

what exactly does the mazda speed offer? body fit, parts? what?

RX-8 friend

Well, one thing is for sure. If you try to replace the wheels with aftermarket ones, you will get a continuous tire pressure warning lamp on the dash. Guess we'll all just have to order the Mag. wheels from Mazda

vix8

I don't think this is true. See the following thread...

where can I get the wheels on the grey rx8? They look like volks but say mazdaspeed on em........

how bout the brakes?

LightEmUp

I'm thinking all the tower bars and roll bars, the chassis brace, flywheel and the 2 way LSD. The shocks would be pointless since I'm looking at coilovers as far as suspension goes. What exactly does the selective LSD do? All the parts are available at rotaryextremes website.
