Spoonman Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Shortly I'll be building an Rx8 for the track, hopefully put up a few pics and maybe a video or 2 when I kick it off. Is the RX8 silver by any chance ? Actually Titanium gray at the mo, why did you ask? I posted pics here a while back, right now it's a daily driver until I get settled here, beginning next year I'm going to source a salvage car in good condition and recondition the best of the 2 and convert the second to a track car. They have a new class here now that allows for these older sports cars in mostly stock form albeit stripped down and some of my competition is the C5 Corvette and the Acura Type R. I feel this is a good choice as it will be durable, powerful, good power to weight ratio and handling mix plus it won't require big money to either mod or compete in as it was virtually built for the track.. They have a few issues though but with Mazda's backing and some top Mazda racing programs around these parts there will be plenty of tech assistance to make it competitive out of the box. I thought you were in Thailand and I know of an ex BMI Racing RX8 sitting here caged ready to go, it is silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, I'm in the states about a year now, I would not even attempt to run a car of that magnitude there as it would require so much budget and still only be marginally competitive due to loose rules and limited classing, it would have to be in the open class likely.. This one?? I don't buy other peoples mistakes, I make my own instead,,,, Ermm,,,,, I mean I build my own cars, that's half the fun..

Spoonman Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Nah more of a silver colour, possibly this one was an unfinished BMI project as whilst it is fully caged it does not have a firewall in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpSpeed Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Ok but this one actually ended up silver, here's a Youtube of it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9bQq28tlXc Did you see it up close? It may have looked like there was no firewall as the engine sits way back being a 4 rotor and if you removed the engine it'd look like it had no firewall.

Spoonman Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It is sitting in my warehouse and definitely does not have a firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpSpeed Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The question is even more curious now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) The question is even more curious now ... My Boss imported it (as a roller) to race but changed his mind, was curious as to whether he sold it or not as mentioned earlier I thought you were in Thailand and are building one.

WarpSpeed Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Oh Ok, understood now.. I'm guessing a 4 rotor would be legal if not expensive in the open class? Since they're sprint races the engines might hold up well enough and likely quite competitive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Masters Voice Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 I prefer this bumpy ride. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENi3Hi3wUXc That was interesting viewing and one I saw from the site was this One tip, watch it in this Forum and don't go to an external browser to view it as sometimes it's considered a bit 'racy' ... and you have to prove your age. BTW, there is no nudity no implied. And, at the speed the driver attacks the jump, I don't know how long it would be before it was either bent or ripped out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Masters Voice Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 I think this passenger showed undue disconcern for her personal safety. She should have worn the 4 point harness as provided and not just the lap belt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0WlUZNj5yY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
