Hello all, I am going to be participating in protype testing and fabrication for the RX8. I am curious to see what kinds of ideas and products you want to see made first. I know exhaust and suspension and all the normal stuff, but what else? Body kits? Custom parts? Let me know if there is anything you fellow RX-8er's want. I have a lot of connections in Japan and will be willing to import parts and supply NEW JDM parts for everyone.

lip spoiler(not currently available in the states)
fender strakes(the ones from mazda seem a bit over priced)

 

Same items as zoom44. (no we are not related)

 

I'll also throw my vote in for the lip spoiler provided it's CHEAP and paint matched. It really shouldn't cost more than $100 or so, maybe $150 with the paint intact. There should be 3M tape and no screwing required into the car.

Oh, and a biggie for me... clear sidemarkers. That's my one luxury item

 

I guess i would also like to see lip spoiler and fender for the rx-8, but i would also like to see a new body kit for the rx-8.

Cuz i was planning on gettin a body kits and rim before modifying anything else for my car.

 

i second the votes for the cheap strakes and CLEAR SIDE MARKERS!!

 

I would be interested in a set of 'strakes' and if they are not OEM, why not make them just a touch larger? I find the Mazda ones a bit conservative......
Obviously, looking for a 'chip' setup to maximize power.....
Fo' sho' the clear sidemarkers.......
Probably could make room in the budget for the rotor start button, if it came in at less than the $170+ Mazda bits.....
That's my wishlist!
Thanks for trying to round up some deals for us!

Well my friend leaves for Japan on Friday I will have him pic up some samples and bring them back and see if we can make them more afforadable. As you all know the car has already hit the streets in Japan so parts should be more avaliable. Keep the ideas comming!

lighted gearshift ****.:D

 

Ditto on the lip spoiler
Ditto on the clear sidemarkers
Ditto on the lit shift ****

 

how about a sportier side view mirror, short shifter, lowering springs, and straight thru exhaust... :D heck... throw in a supercharger as well... hehehe

 

Zoom49 are you sure about that related thing? i do have family in Cali and i think StealthTL got it right! i had the same thought last night, a little longer on the strakes would be a good thing!

 

oh and i want the clamshell hood like they had on the evolve but it should look like the normal front end with the same light cutouts and everything

 

Well I can tell you I will be fabing a turbo kit right now but no plans for the supercharger yet. As far as the mirriors what do you guys think of the mazda speed mirriors? I have pics of Tokyo Auto Salon form earlier this year where can I post them if you guys are interested? I have like 40 pics of the cars that were there.

 

The mirrors are very slick, excellent idea!

Now, post some pics!!!

 

I know some people don't like them but how about the spoiler and the wheels from this car?...

 

hmmm... turbo kit huh...? how about ECU, IC, manifold, ect... will it all be included?? pricey i would guess??

The MS mirrors are very nice... but i dont think it would look balanced without the whole kit or a body kit!?! how about the original mirror wiv the fabricated turn signals?? that one is nice as well...

keep us updated k... :D

all in all, it all depends on the price...

 

Hell yea! It would b hella tite 2 c sumthin like dat...i would like 2 see my hood pop up lilke dat...

Try 2 check if the door can be modified like the one on the McLaren f1...

here's a pic just in case u dont noe wat i'm talkin bout...

 

Can you also check if there's a m3 aero mirror 4 dis car and another kind of fender...

...the original fender is nice, but i would like 2 see sumthin more designated with some of the upcomin body kits...

...one more thing...check if you can modified the gauges and the dash board...thx! :D

 

Analog Speedometer
Solid color side mirrors

[joke]
18' tall CB Radio antenna
lil bottle of squirty stuff to shoot stuff out the side of front wheel well like in 2F2F
Vinyl 3d sticker to look like z3 gills
Vinyl sticker hoodpins (real hoodpins cost too much)
800lbs of super combat extreme bodykit so it looks like some sci-fi car out of an 80's movie
and last but not least, dry-fire side-mounted breakaway booster rockets like the space shuttle uses to launch.
[/joke]
