RE: Tokyo Drift RX-8 Review
I'm correcting it:
The new engine:
The Mazda RX8 is equipped with an 1.3 liter engine, a small one, but with alot of kicks, by saying that, I mean that this engine produces an amazing 236 horsepower at 8500 rpm from it’s small shell. This is possible with the help of the revolutionary naturally aspirated RENESSIS rotary engine that the car has under the hood.This one is slightly different from therotary engines before, the one used in the RX8 is an 13B-MSP RENESIS, and the things that differ are the rotors, which are re-shaped, and that the exhaust ports are not situated on the rotor housing. Due to the lack of a turbocharger and associated parts, this engine is lighter and smaller giving the car great performance on the track and road.
Interior
On the inside, Mazda treats you’re eyes with optional two tone colored leather seats, aluminum trims and a bundle of optional and standard features such as electric seats, satellite navigation, air conditioning and air bags and many more. The last feature, the air bags, could be deployed in two stages, with the help of the of an onboard sensor witch detects the severity of the impact and judges the best solution to take for the drivers safety.
The new car
But enough about the old car ... let’s talk a little bit, about the girl that starts in the movie, I meant the car.
Well the Universal guys did again a nice job tuning this vehicle also. Powering this “coupe” is its one Renessis engine with a bit of touch from Greddy’s single-turbo kit and with the help of Tanabe’s cat-back exhaust system.
Covering and giving it that mean look to this Mazda RX8 is a VeilSide D1-GT body kit, and at the back, adding to the stile, is ... yes you’ve guess it right , still a VeilSide, a carbon fiber GT wing to be exact, helping with the down force to.
To improve the handling they added a Cusco rear sway bar, some TEIN springs to enhance the already great stability, and also a Cusco LSD so to be shore that the added power is distributed evenly through the two wheels.
To help slide the power gracefully to the ground are the 19-inch Volk GT-AVs wrapped in Toyo Proxes T1R tires.
The security is improved by Takata harnesses and a Nardi steering wheel.
Another pop eye problem is the paint job, again that 2 tone shade effect (black and neon blue) with some added vinyl graphics, that I’ve liked so fare.
Who thinks that this is only a girl car was clearly mistaken.
