Damn. If I had the money...
Guys?
Mate what a car 🔥 we’re from SA as well. Keen to see it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
a,azing looking and sounding
Very cool car, just stumbled upon your channel. If you can swing it I highly recommend a small wireless mic like the DJI or similar, it will greatly increase your production quality with very small investment. I suggest this because the world needs more widebodied racing RX8 content.
Cheers! Yeah, I’m using the GoPro Media attachment and the mic is horrible, constantly adjusting itself. I’m trying to keep it basic and easy as it’s hard enough to even bother with the crappy product I’m putting together already, but I’ll look in to mics and see if there’s a really easy solution. 👍👍
Love the body now!! Great job
Worry less about spring rate and more about your damper valving. Also, ride height and suspension travel. Your wheel droop is so very low that the car is acting like a GoKart than it is a car. Looks nice though
Beauty
And as I said 24 years ago when I quit a Sports Sedans does not need all the wizz bang Stupidcar things. More so with half an engine weight is your no 1 enemy. As is often all the electronics.
Car looks mint mate. Great work.
Thanks Hoss! 🤘
Awesome footage. 👌Awesome car!!! thanks for the inspiration to get back out to Mallala for some laps
You should! 👍👍
looks great
Uffffff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Car looks great , would’ve loved a full walk around of the car now it’s finished.
Cheers. Have another vid almost done with a look at the car. Soon 👍
Bloody Mirror is in the way!😝 Good job mate
Yeah I know, I’m using a magnetic mount, which is awesome, but means I’ve gotta put it on the roof, and it’s a bit too high and far back. I’ll make it my mission to build up a better mounting location for the next round 🤘🤙
Go the rota!!
私はrx-8が好きです
Nice man :D
Wow that’s very nice build, how much did this all cost
I like what your doing, very creative, I had similar idea for my wide body RX8 to just cut the fender of and weld In about 2 inches of metal, I will look at more of your videos, how are you fitting rims are you using spacers or staggered rims? Cause yours looks great
Thank you for this information
You've got a new fan dude! I saw that C-West front end and jumped in my seat, it's the same kit I'm looking at getting for my RX8 and there's not enough footage of them out there! Also very nice work on the fenders, we had a rough time fitting 660 x 265 on our S2000.. Gonna binge your vids the rest of the evening man 🙏
I was gonna make fun of the title alone for calling it a sports sedan until I saw it's one of the most extensively built RX-8s I have ever seen
Great job.
Love the rx8 still have one as my dayli
Nutty Little Datto .
Whats the reason for moving from an SR to the Chevy? Curious to know the weight differnce between the two set ups.
Wow what an awesome car. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more of you and this beast!
This is exactly what I want to do with my 8. The car looks absolutely beautiful.
NO LIE I SWEAR I SAW YOU ON THE FREEWAY TONIGHT THE UA-cam ALGORITHM IS WILD FOR YOU TO BE ON MY RECOMMENDED
looks awesome lad!
Looks amazing, nice work
Going to make molds of the panels?
Looks great mate. Hard work paying off. Well done.
Looks great!
So bloody good! 👍
This is the type of work I apprciate and would like to do with my Rx8. great work looks awsome.
not a lot of down shifting going on before accelerating am I wrong ?
Are you coming to Baskervile Historics in the Stanza? Lot of fans of it down here!
Yah Aussie have the best toys to play it. Jealous. Nice build, crazy sound.
I run a spiral muffler in addition to my big muffler at Sandown on track days. It knocks 10 to 12 kph off it down the straights.
Ouch!!! I’ve started/tested the straight ones and though a “tad” loud, they were OK. I’ll stick with those unless I get pulled up for noise. No space for anything else until we change to single turbo, that’ll give us room for a decent muffler 👍
Ps the car is looking good. I know the hrs involved in doing that.
@@darrenhossack713 Cheers Hoss 👍
Just in time for my lunch break. Keep them coming Myles!
I’ll try release Part 3 just as you’re off to break 😂😂
Love the car, they are massively underappreciated. I have quite a few old school rotors and even hated on rx8's myself until I drove one. I have a couple now and enjoy them as Sunday drivers. Looking forward to following this race build.
What class are you running
The RX8 and Integra are “Sports Sedan”, we are mixed grid with “Sports Cars” in this video, hence the TVR and Ferrari. Regularly race with those guys as our pace is similar
@mylesbond that's cool I've got a historic Rx4 sports sedan
@@kimj2770 awesome! I’ve got a Historic Escort Sports sedan and have driven a few others. Do you get out to the historic meetings for some laps?
@mylesbond my health is a issue at the moment so just events like hillclimb, rotary revival and test and tune days
@@kimj2770 that’s understandable. If you ever need help to get out, send me a message. The Historic events are just Sprints for Sports Sedan, so no stress, just fun days.
That's the nicest way I've ever seen to widen guards and it's probably totally normal to you but man 🤣 so good
Thanks brother! Not sure it’s “normal” but really got keen on keeping the RX8 style and this was the only way. Turns out really nice!!! 👌🤌🤌
Super helpful thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
nice vid bro
Thanks mate!
@@mylesbond subbed
Great work love the old sports sedans
Yep, loads currently getting restored too, which is awesome!
Must be tough servicing the car or doing engine modifications since its all the way inside the car
It’s actually easier, with the interior covers off, you can get around the entire engine, unlike having to lean in to an engine bay, and things like oil fillers are placed in easy to reach places. Should there be a need to remove manifolds for example, it can all be done from inside the car.
love it!
