Mazdatrix RX-8 "Test Mule"

An interesting read: Sneak Peek: Dave Lemon's Mazdatrix RX-8

And, though I think this may have been posted before:

Nice find! I really enjoyed reading that. I feel if Mazdatrix wants to sell their widebody kit they should at least say what offset they use to be more or less flush.

Awesome article! Too bad they didn't give any hp numbers on the MSP/REW hybrid. I'd guess it'd be close to that of a P-Ported Renesis (technically that's what it is).

They've posted them here. It is not like a PP 13B. A better description without being overly negative would be to say that it's viability over just starting with a non-Renesis 13B instead is highly debatable.

but only because it's still a non-running project

The cage looks awfully thin in some points, class rules perhaps?
