MS RX8 or modified turbo RX8? you make the call
Is is a spy shot of the MS RX8 or owner modified RX8? I vote that it's an owner's modified RX8.
Not sure if anyone has seen these: http://www.genmay.net/showthread.php?t=413171 |
interesting, probably modified, I doubt Mazda would have a true MS turbo lying around
|
especially with the lame front window sticker.
|
Carbon fiber guage cluster thing looks cool
|
Even if it is modified--where'd the turbo come from! Because all those parts on it are $$, Intercooler and boost gauge--carbon fiber binnacle. Could this be a Blitz test mule? The size of the intercooler suggest something well over 300HP. Did anybody see it run?
|
maybe that's just an aluminum radiator ? :)

http://www.iupload.net/082004/IMG_1149%20copy.jpg More than likely it's a radiator. I think intercooler cores wouldn't be as thin as that. The gauge is either a BLITZ boost, or vacuum gauge. I can't tell, since both are almost similar. Perhaps it's supercharged? :confused: Here's a pdf of the BLITZ gauges. http://www.blitz.co.jp/products/meter-ac-blm.pdf |
Man did those guys in that forum get nasty or what - LOL

looks like the vaccuum meter to me.
|
Although they are quite similar, on the boost guage you can see it goes from -1.0 to 2.0, resting at 0 and pointing left. The vacuum meter goes from resting at 0 pointing right and goes left to -1.0. In the RX-8 the gauge is pointing left and resting at 0, with a range of -1.0 to 2.0. It's boost :D
edit: and they vacuum gauge #'s don't match up either, on the boost gauge it goes from the 6 'oclock clockwise to 3 (which matches my picture) and the vacuum goes from 5 counterclockwise to the 7 |
damn thats a nice intercooler...must be pushing well over 275 hp...anyone see this in person? anyone know him?
|
some shop was making a prototype carbon hood for the guage cluster, i think it was mazdatrix?

Is that gauge mounted where the air bag is? I cannot tell.

Unfortunately no, I didn't get to hear it, it was just up in the parking lot, and the guage was mounted on the left windshield pillar (A-pillar?)

i think that guage is attatched to that carbon fiber trim...thats pretty cool anyone know where i can get one?
|
Ooh a boost gauge. Thanks for the clarification guys. :)
Now, what is under the hood?

Same car that Mazda had in the Mazdaspeed booth at IAS this year.
