This thing looks like its going to get too nasty! Rears are wider than dick! They had rx8's in need for speed and I use to get the widest body kits, they don't look like this does, just merely reminds me of it. Car is going to look crazy mad dude! Hope this thing isn't sucking too deep into your wallet.

How did i miss this epic thread... :O its freaking dope!

[Kruizer]

wide as fuck!

I will be adding canards and a diffuser (possibly) to break up the front a bit yet, the bumper had to be widened 100mm at each side to give you an idea. The car is 6ft 3" inches at its widest point

Happy car with gills?
Reminds me of mazda 3 front end.

Happy as larry (Irish saying)

Welcome to the thread

such a cool car, love it!

such a cool car, love it!

Thanks fella

Decided to chop the rear bumper today since I had some time, plan is to have it vented like the front wings, join it at the top and the bottom only and I made the exhaust exit a bit wider too. The space on either side of the fog will be cut out and I will be flushing the licence plate recess for a smooth arse on her



Looks alot cleaner now :




The top will be joined and the bottom fang I guess you could call it




More tomorrow. Just confirm the front of the car is 77" inches wide (6ft 5"inches) and the rear is 78.5" inches wide (6ft 6.5" inches) LoL

Cool that the doors still open.... I guess I have always wanted to see an RX8 with molded rear doors as I think it would look much cleaner

I had a mate saw that too me last night too but I like the option of opening her up to be honest

Hmmm I haven't updated the thread in a while, not much has happened but I'll bring you up to speed.

I needed to line up the rear bumper section I cut off, so used some metal from a bonnet I chopped and pop riveted it on to hold the shape.



Caesar invited his bitch over to chill while I did the work of course.


So I had to give the garage a bit of a clean as it was wrecked, threw the car back in and I have to say I felt sorry for her.


So with a burst of new interest pulled her back out of the garage Monday and got back to some sanding / stripping.



Unfortunately this is the slow part making sure the lines look good and everything fits like it should, removing the wiring from the doors and unnecssary clips. However I have enlisted the help of a mate (panel beater) who will be repairing any of the dents in the doors and priming them. Also we will be finishing the bonnet and wings to get them ready for primer. All of the above should be primed by early next week, then its a case of finishing the bumpers, skirts, spoiler and boot and having them primed. Once all the exterior bits are finished and ready for paint the engine bay and interior will be attacked, this is how the car sits now :


More updates to come
