Default Watch A Diesel-Powered Mazda RX-8 Go Drifting

Hello,

one of the main reasons anybody drives a Mazda RX-8 is because they want a sports car with a rotary engine. However, the madmen at Bodge Rides Garage in Ireland bought one and turned it into what they call the RX-Hate ditching the characteristic rotary in favor of a big diesel engine.
Bodge Rides Garage has owned this car for about a year and it took several months to complete the build. It has a 5.9-liter Cummins 6BT 12-valve diesel inline-six that appeared in 1989-1998 Dodge Ram pickups along with various agricultural and commercial applications. It has the same five-speed manual transmission that came in manual diesel Rams that had this engine and the radiator is in the trunk.
