Mazda Rotary Club

I\'ve got a customer coming in soon, and this is his RX8.. What do you all think to it? Yay or Nay?

Personally, I think its alright, very different thats for sure..

I saw this car at Japfest last year, didn\'t like it.  Definitely not what I\'d do with an RX8.

Is it on airbags?
I\'ve seen a few cars now wearing Bentley wheels. Do look good.
That looks far to low though

Adam

I like it, think its cool. I\'m into this \'dubbed out\' look.

Different colour and i would like it.......maybe

It spoils the looks of a RX-8 :(

i like it but i think its too low

It is on Air ride, It doesn\'t sit like this whilst driving. And It will be going a different colour. And full leather interior retrim.

i quite like the flicked paint

What colour is it going to be?

poop brown! my granda had metro city x that colour! no you cant paint it that colour it is absoulutely hideous!

I won\'t pass judgement until I see it all finished. Its a bit more then just brown to be fair, it will be interesting to see.

Steve

hmm dont like.... will dislike even more number2 brown... never been a fan of german/euro wheels on a jap car...

Not a fan of the rims but the drop look is ok and seen that colour on an 8 its ok but gives it a less sporty look and more a family saloon style but it still works look forward to seeing the end result.

aaarrrrrgggghhhh, no, no, no, not brown. :(
blue like my winning blue looks great :) go well with those wheels.

it looks too ordinary in that brownish colour, needs a striking colour!

but too low sitting like that, looks like the front suspension completely knackered :)

I see this at Japfest also... honestly i really didnt like it, its dropped too low, I appreciate its on air rides but its really not my thing, plus the Bentley wheels really dont work on the 8 in my opinion. Personally it needs a more extreme look to pull of that dropped look... at the moment it just looks like a boggo car with some Bentley rollers.

Each to their own and i am not trying to offend the owner here but its really not for me.

Needs some serious deep dish rims to ride that low stretched tyres too

Not to my taste, glad I missed it at Japfest, saved burning my retinas! If ever there was a case for a Barryboy posting of a Rex...

So its going Kenstyle Brown..... nice.

Yuck!

Not wishing to offend anyone, just my opinion.

Like the colour :yes ,but not on the RX-8 :mad:

if its on air bags it doesn\'t count :P

That image just shows taht the front arches on an 8 are far to big! Rear could go a tad higher  and i recon some decent sized tyres, a slight raise and some offset would sort the front :P

Personally, I dont think the Bentley wheels suit the angles or the drop of the car, they just look like there\'s too much going on, I\'d go for a simpler wheel design or raise it just enough to see the entire alloy (not the tyre), but even then, I shouldn\'t think the wheels would work.
The lip kit is nice, the brown colour, not so much, if it had to be brown, I\'d go pearlescent, subtle metalflake or a subtle flip. I\'m half tempted to put a pinstripe on the swage line too... but I think I\'m the only one who likes those at the moment lol

^:evillaugh
not my cuppa im affraid  i dont see the point in owning a sports car and ruining it
thats like buying and f40 and turning it into an estate dont bother buy an estate in the first place

Ok guys well the paint work is finished, check it out! I\'ll be doing the interior next.

I like it, the colour is real nice when the sun hits it, a nice deep cola colour!

Steve

Still think it needs some shiney deep dish,s but an interesting take would have probably gone with a different bumper aswell paint looks good though.

Yep paint definatly looks better than I imagines brown would look... Reminds
Me of the brown Kenstyle used in their bodykit promo pictures

Hope you dont have any speed bumps in your area lol

Haha the car isn\'t mine, and it son Air ride so speed bumps aren\'t a problem, I think there are 3 RX8\'s with air on.

Steve

Looks quality work and very different:Thumbs-up...its just brown though .....off all the colours customer could have choose ...all down to personal taste. Just imagine it in a dark blue metallic ,,,,,wow!

I saw this car for the first time today at Japshow and i have to say i really liked it. Thought is was a great show car that didn\'t try to be anything other than what it is, not to flashy with a mad eye melting paint colour and very understated and tasteful.
Sadly i didn\'t have my camera at the time or i wouold of got a few pic of it.
Great work to who\'s ever this is, think you\'ve got something classy good there without going over the top and screaming \'LOOK AT ME!\' :D:Thumbs-up

Adam

Hi Adam,

It is a nice car in the flesh, like you say he\'s gone for classy. I hope you liked the interior most (Thats my work you see)

(http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/537649_371091746286611_1854785038_n.jpg)

I did notice the retrim of the seats and again thought it very nice. Thought the gear knob was a nice cheeky touch too, just to show the guy has a sense of humor :D

Adam

The interior isn\'t finished yet, he has a lot more to do! Its just finding the time with him between shows.

The guys name is Jack Hulcoop.

Steve

You talking about this one? There were so many it was hard to tell them apart

Lol.

The more I see this car the more my dislike for it grows. The work is impressive but it is all just for show and that ruins it for me.

I have to agree with Will...The works impeccable I\'ve seen it in the flesh....but brown inside as well as outside.....Nissan Bayside Blue with black leather re-trim !!
I don\'t think their is a worse colour for a car than BROWN!

Not being a hater, quality of work defo looks something to be proud off fella.

But for me thats why i think it works. Its subtle and understated.
Being a fan of old VW\'s where there is a lot of brown and beigh colours i think i see it in the same light as those where its all about a \'look\' and one that doesn;t just shout at you and beg for attention.
For me the rx8 will never be the out and out sports car the fd was so doing something like this, which is all about the style instead of top end power, makes sense to me.
As with any type of modding its all very individual, each to there own.

Adam

Banzai liked it, calling it one of their cars of the show at Japfest ;)  

As Adam says, "as with any type of modding its all very individual, each to there own".

From my stand point, i\'m just pleased it\'s one of our Rotary famliy RX\'s out there getting attention :wiggle

Dildo gear knobs need to die a silent, miserable death. That interior is almost classy apart from that awful contraption attached to the gearbox.
