A request: RX8s

[Gaz.]

I need some awesome RX8s to inspire a friend, as he "wants to make it stand out a bit". Vague I know.

Anybody got some links/pictures?

My mates RX8 with GReddy turbo, pushing 300+ bhp (IIRC!)

Was it on fire like a clio V6 in the 3rd pic?

What, a v6 on fire?!

 

[Reyes]

Off topic I know but I was going to swap the 225 for one but they drink more than the 225 and they're slower. On the plus side, insurance is cheap...
Nuff love x

Had one. Liked it, couldnt live with the petrol costs. Replaced it with a golf GT TDI lol

My mate has one, loves it. Has flaws, like mpg. Struggles to get 25mpg on a run at best.

Tax can be expensive if you get a post 05 car. I personally love it, needs thrashing, has less torque than a Type-R thats shy.

expensive tax and they are f**king thirsty

Very oil thirsty!!

Pretty sure the first post mentions he already has one, but wants to make it stand out a bit more?

The Pro-Drive version looks quite mean. Dark wheels etc.

Same here but replaced it for a 330i to save fuel. I loved it tho and still miss it to this day.

Shouldnt believe everything you read, i had mine for 18 months, did 14000 miles in it and only put 9 litres of oil in it total including a full service. Compare that to turbo jap cars with their 3000 mile oil services and its nothing.

Visually i havent seen much you can do with them thats worthwhile, the Japanese Mazdaspeed kits look brilliant like the blue one pictured above but they are expensive, their interior kits are amazing as well.

I should like them. Amazing chassis, great engine and balance.

But I just hate the way they look.

I'd rather have a late RX-7.

Good shout!

Oil thirst is an urban myth!

Sure it burns oil but no where near that much. It's not like it needs oil every week.

Same, I've left better looking productions in the pan after a ruby.

FD = superior.

Yeah, it uses more than normal at first, when it's new, but not a gallon a mile, lie some people moan about.

It burns oil as part of the combustion process, it's not a bad thing.

i can remember a raggin session from harrogate to york returned 8mpg.. lol

 

[_Tom]

A mate has a kitted one and its what i'd call a nice kit..but it still looked nicer standard with wheels..

My mate has a late rx7 with 11,000 miles from new. Under the bonnet is lovely. He gets 11mpg :S
