Why is it human nature that we are attracted to the things we can not have?
That white 8 is just awesome looking, surprisingly even with those white rims... I'm not even a white color car fan.
I think it's the lowered suspesion, there is something else about that white car, can't place my finger on it.

That does certainly resemble a turbo and it's in the appropriate location
And the rotor housings are the same as the old motor so they still have the same castings with the peripheral port just waiting to be holed out, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to try it.

Did you see the cut-away of the stock muffler on the 2nd page, that has got to go. I would like to see someone make a new rear spoiler body color with center exit pipes. I think that would be smooth.

And that's 12 hp to the wheels eh? 1-2 hp for drivetrain loss? It would be nice to see 30hp come from just a header and exhaust... 280 hp, and more importantly - close to the 10lbs/hp ratio in a normally aspirated engine would be pretty cool.

Hmm, an increase of 12 hp with a cat back exhaust. Is that good? I don't have any basis for comparison. And with that peripheral exhaust they'll need a custom 5-pipe header right? I wonder how will the power change with all those mods...

From my experience with Honda engines, most manufacturer hp claims are NEVER achieved.. but the rotary does respond more favourable to air flow mods.. I guess a 'real' person would have to dyno before and after..

It'll look a bit longer and different due to 3 ports out of the iron housings instead of 2 ports from the rotor housings (previous generations).

HEY GUYS!!!! just watch a Hotversion vol63 on reviewing the Tuned Feed RX8 :D
And compare with Tuned Nissan 350z, Honda Accord Euro R, and Toyota Altezza TRD.
Feed RX8 is the winner in 5 laps :D
The Mazda RX8 has a hidden potential and Feed just unleashed it
