What's this side skirt?
 
Alright, first off, I own a Series II RX8, but I'm referencing a Series I, so I thought this section appropriate. Besides, side skirts work on both right? Or does the Series II have a different wheelbase or something random?

Anyway, does anyone know what side skirt the Castrol RX8 runs? Here is a pic:

It almost appears like a stock side without a skirt and just a small lip, but I'm unsure.

Also, on that same note, does anyone know of a company that makes just a side lip for the 8? Like that on the bottom edge of the R3 side skirt, but that mounts to a stock Sport body without a skirt.

Thanks.

Probably Mazdaspeed seeing how he's running the MS front bumper.

I think the MazdaSpeed sticks off more. The one on the Castrol is very close fitting.

It looks like its molded to the car actually. But also the style is most like the MazdaSpeed

check out the Chargespeed side skirts they may be what you are looking for in reference to pt 2 of your post

I was considering that possibility. Any idea on just a side lip?

Well it's not an entire skirt, just a small CF or FRP lip attached below the body on the side. I guess it would be proper to call it a splitter.

I'll find an example of what I'm on about.

sry is this thing on

Polish Person 08-23-2010 10:44 PM

Here we go. Side splitter. Just the CF piece, not the whole skirt.

Sorry. Your other post didn't show until I refreshed. I'll give it a look. Thanks

Now where can I order the ChargeSpeed lip kit?

Just so you know, the SpeedSource (and other Grand Am racing) RX-8s are tube frame cars, they are not production RX-8s with body kits. They were made to look like Mazdaspeed kits originally, and now are a mix of R3 front, MS sides and rear but with SII taillights.

More info on the Grand Am cars (and where you can buy one for only $300,000... without engine of course):
