aussie turbo 8

Any of you fellows from Oz have links that point to info about the Aussie turbo 8 and was it featured in RX Tuner Mag? I couldn't seem to find anything on rxtuner.com.

Are you referring to the Rotormaster Turbo 8?

They have also not published any official performance specs. All their numbers are projected figures.

The turbo-ed RX-8 at the Sydney International Motorshow was Mazda Aus special project, not the Rotormaster.

Cheers,
