How’s it going all, just wanted to get some feed back on a Mazda RX-8 that my department is putting together. We want to make sure that we are headed in the right direction. Our plans are to put the car is shows locally and state wide. Please let us know what you think about the car. Please keep in mind that we are in the early stages of putting this car together. There is a lot more to come.

Thanks

Andre

Looks good, don't let my wife buy it...

 

Jacksonville For The Win!!!

Duval Baby!!!

 

One thing about this car is it is owned by my department so it wont be for sale for a long while. It is more of a show car and a car that we can sell the products off of.

Andre

 

So was the one my wife bought

Are you going to be doing any more power mods? Or just stick to MS stuff.

 

We are kind of at a stand still on performance parts under the hood. We are debating about a turbo system being installed but that is just a thought right now. If we do put a turbo system in the car it will be more for show then for performance. Like i said we are trying to build a car that we can sell off of and having a turbo kit on the car might be a problem for us in that apect. But we are trying to do what no other dealers will do and that is put a aftermarket car together and get in to a scene that is over due for "the local dealer" to get in to. We are lucky to have this dealer group backing us with what we want to do with this car.

Andre

 

Very cool, I appreciate that kind of dealer!

If only there were a reputable turbo RX8 company in FL..... he he he

 

We are going to push the envelope as much as we can. We may try to have a custom kit made for the car from one of the local Performance shops here in Jacksonville, FL. We may go talk to the guys over at Stage6 Motorsports and see what they can do for us. I know some of the guys over there and have seen what they can do.


Andre

 

Check out Mazsport as well.

That was who I was alluding to.

Again, cool idea and looks great so far. I wish more dealers would do this!

 

Yeah Mazsport seems to be who everyone is pointing me to. I will be contacting them on Monday and seeing what they have to offer.


Andre

 

The car looks great!

Those Maya wheels look sick and are hella expensive! $4k-$5k when I looked into them. My dream of owning them abruptly ended when I got the quote.

Keep up the good work!

 

Yes the wheels were picked out by the head of my department. He didn't care about the cost he just wanted them. Took us 3 weeks to get them. Had to have them custom made from Japan and shipped to us.

 

I'm just stoked this is in J-ville. I can't wait to come back in Sept! It's been too long!!!

GO JAGS!

 

those wheels look really hot!

it's like a mazdaspeed demo car. looking forward for more update from you.

 

since you're down in florida, you might even consider a SC instead of turbo.

 

i think you should put clear corners.

 

SC would probably to hot unless there is a nice cooling system for it. Superchargers seem to get pretty hot here in florida when they are not cooled. I know a few people with them.


Andre

 

We are probably going to try to find some dark amber ones for the JDM look on the car. So if anyone knows where we could get some lets me know.

Andre

 

Cool car!...you spelled 'brake' wrong by the way.

 

Sorry about that.

 

check out pettit's S/C since they are down in florida.

 

what spoiler are u going to put on it? or if any?

 

you should put the mazdaspeed spoiler since the rest of the body kit is mazdaspeed

 

they said they might get a custom body kit for it. So who knows what spoiler

 

thats a sweet ride...just another reason i wish i lived in Florida
