Show us an RX-8!

Post by brix79 »

I'd like to see more RX-8s, lot's of cool stuff goes on with them out there, so let's see some of them here.

Doesn't have to be your own 8, might be something you've seen you'd like to emulate to a degree.

To keep it flowing, no more than 2 pics per post please. (You can always post more later.. ;)) :thumright:

There is a chance we may want to use members RX-8 pictures (when they're of their car of course) posted here in future, for Club purposes that need pics. I'm not leading with that as it's not the primary function for this thread, but may prove useful. 8)

This is what I was aiming for with the Devil car but my kit was all carbon.

The below is up for sale if you are interested for a cool $120K

White 8s do look the nuts. And that yellow one just looks mean in a very good way. 8)

In no way current, but I am sat here watching the Nurburgring 24, a week after watching Le Mans, which prompted me to look up our first (of 4) RX8's we took to Le Mans in the year of the 20th anniversary of 787b win (it had way more graphics when we took it, but this was just before the ones we had custom made were removed):

Image

and then with Chris231's car at the end of a day at the BTCC at Oulton Park:

She went on to a happy life with Big John from RotaryRevs, but I think the dreaded rust finally caught up with her. Still miss that car :crybaby:

The attention to detail in there is incredible. And sooo clean! 8)

Another that caught my eye, quite stock looking, but some very nice wheels and a bit of stance maybe? Still looks great. :D

I thought you had the final afterburn of flames shooting out of the exhaust in that 2nd pic, but on closer inspection it was a traffic cone....
