Nice shots. Looks like a serious track toy. Any video?

These are some seriously awesome pics you posted out there. The RX-8 looks exceptionally great on the race track.

This probably isn't as big of a deal in England but that air filter location is a huge airflow restriction for the radiator. I had issues overheating last year during the summer months. I removed the S-bend piece of the MS intake and replaced it with a 90 degree silicone connector and some 3.5" aluminum pipe with a filter on the end. It tucks right behind MS bumper right below the air dam thing you see when you open the hood.

Just a thought. Looks like fun, enjoy

Thanks for the advice. I've had no issues with over heating yet. even in the 30+ heat the water temp never went above 100 degrees. I do have a Mishimoto rad though and i do use redline water wetter.

Cool pics - good to see you having fun in your 8 !

Do you strip the interior for each track day or leave it like that ?
