RE: Choose your weapon.. Mazda RX7 or RX8

in #cars7 years ago

I would choose the RX7 and I'll definitely add a Rocket Bunny bodykit on it.
I am looking forward to see your upcoming review : )

Sort:  

🚀 🐰 yeah the RB kit is really cool, I wouldn’t do it to this 7 though, the shell and paint are in great original condition. Have you seen the RX8 RBunny kit, that’s something we are considering for this one, it’s not in such good cosmetic condition 😉

yeaa you're right about the paint. Now I saw the lack of paint on the bottom right handside of the front bumper of the rx8.

Yes, I've seen Mad Mike's rx8.
In fact the rx8's rocket bunny is sicker than the rx7.
Do you plan to add more horses to the rx7's vankel or you would prefer to keep it in it's original condition?

Haha dont worry the engine isn't original, massive turbo under that hood. I will be posting some pics and more video of this car. Its not tuned to the max yet, only about 330-350bhp.
The RX8 has been smacked on the front, several times, actually waiting on an insurance claim right now, someone reversed into it last year. That will pay for some mods.

Hah, seems like you're ready with the "blueprints". Keep it up. The fun part will begin when you get the parts. The RX8 doesn't look like it has been smacked. Obviously some good repair work has been done.
Fingers crossed you'll get the claim soon : )

The RX8 seems to have a very bendy nose, the metal behind it is pushed in, there are some small cracks and damage to it. I’ll probably cover this in a video. It might get repaired and we Plasti Dip the whole car.

I'm sure you will make a little beatiful beast out of it. : )
A friend of mine tried to cover his wheels with plasti dip.. A week later he regretted that. I don't know whether the dip was low quality or he was just bad at it. :D

You need to put on a lot of layers of it. Otherwise it doesn’t forms proper coating. Hoping to get a proper gun and give it a try.
