Nice car man! everyones suggesting little motors, dont do it.

VH45.

so its gonna get a WOF eventually?

Cool project! love that you deleted the gutters- its probably the part i hate most about older cars- they all look 100X better without it.

comparing cars on playstation is so high school musical bro...

He started it.

what does that mean and why.

Why am i not able to say that i found it lifeless and boring without people throwing in stupid comparisons (eg there was once a race car that was an rx8 which came second in a big race).

I'm not comparing it to a supra etc. I stated that because he suggested my only experience was on the playstation.

What am i supposed to compare the RX8 to? A 1.3 litre corolla? yeah its amazing in comparison. But its price tag suggests it should be going up against something like nissans z cars.. which dont feel the need to rev their balls reved off to get someplace quickly.

Mazda put turbos on them for a reason.

sorry if that sounded angry didn't mean it to!

Last decent car was a 1jz soarer with moderately large single turbo on. Before that was a mk4 RZ supra, before that was an SW20 turbo and before that was a GTI-R. Maybe i just like the torque that turbos and larger capacity motors give and maybe i like motors with more hum than a sewing machine.

I had an RX8 on playstation and it sucked there too.

Have a look at the results of the Macau Grand Prix Road Sport challenge, and have a look what got classified 2nd behind a Nissan GTR35

Oh my gooodsssss the rx8 is way faster than evos and eveerrryyythinggggg ever made except the gtr.... my new dream car

ring ring, ring ring. Hello? OH HAIIIIIII, (REALLY EXCITED AND GAY VOICE) ITS REALITY HERE, IM CALLING FOR A CATCHUUUUUP.

were all these cars factory spec with just a cage and track tires? Because your comment means shit unless this is the case.

just read through the build thread for this. What a sexy car.

This is pretty much my dream vehicle in every way... love it.

you dont need a licence to build pistons for any other engine so why would there be?

With rotors and housings etc i think there is little need for an aftermarket supplier. OEM is as good as that stuff gets i reckon.

It wont be a shame if the motor gets axed. The rx8 is boring in a straight line and feels gutless all round.

Once STI get their mits on it - should be much better. In fact it will be interesting to see what they do considering theyve never had a sports car to play with before.

My guess is they will put on a turbo and a horrible exhaust that makes it go "bob bob bob bob bob bob bob bob"?

i hope they do all of that.

did what have a silver roof? your car? cant remember. yeah was around 3:40 dude..car looks good!

i would get someone to hold the seat with the plastic on something solid.. and i would slice/split the fucker with a chisel and hammer.

I saw a really sweet MX5 at the roundabout near claudlands. Was it this one? I was in my ugly blue thing.

hot.

I've done a fair bit of research. Most methods involve heating the surface first and then cooling the dent with something cold- dry ice or the c02 spray from an upside down can of airduster.

you are right, the dry ice method does make sense when you think about it. I wonder if someone could rub dry ice on a strip of sheet metal and report back as to if the sheetmetal bends in reaction.

im pretty sure gelcoat lasts better than paint. boats are gelcoat finish for instance

when do we get to see pics of it mounted?

good work on that front lip, looks great!!!!!

do whatever is cheaper and requires the least downtime.

yeah new cars always have a fuckload of sound proofing material throughout.

so anyway

I hope this is as new to everyone else here as it is to me. Maybe a hoax? i dunno.
