There's a shop here is STL that will be doing the same... Well, making a kit that is. It'll be interesting to see.
Who might this shop be? Bi-State Customs? I know Ron at Axis is talking about building an FB project car...but I was unaware of any RX-8 turbo kits in STL. That would be kind of cool. I thought I remember reading that the RX-8 will be almost impossible to turbo due to the port placement on them? I thought they were going to have to S/C those cars. Hmmm....I don't know much about them...but that is what I remember hearing at one time or another.

DAVE, I don't think Ryans 8 will be nicer than your 7. Newer, yes. But as far as I am concerned, you have the car to beat in the RX7/8 world.

humm, if PFS is so "in " with Mazda why didnt they provide PFS with a RX8 sooner ? This sounds a bit strange the guy you work for ask you to buy a car for him to experiment with ? Hope hes got ya covered if he blows it up....oops you guys dont blow up cars there ...they fail



But a bit weird all the same , what's the direction of PFS these days ?



:IS300 500 doesnt seem like a winner program

:350Z 500hp project ? good luck , your one of hundreds of guys putting out products for that car

: 500hp RX8 project ?





as Rob rx7 said " the easy part is talking about it "
Hater with an agenda.

Thats a new concept.

You got it boss. Bi state is going to try that shoe on. They also have a VERY NICE single for the FD at an affordable price... You'll have to ask Eric the details... It's gonna rock!
