I need some inspiration! How about some nice looking RX-8's?
I'll start.

The best things to come from the RX-8 were the RENESIS and the factory wheels. The former to swap into SA/FBs and leave NA and the latter to bolt onto 6s.
I've honestly yet to see an RX-8 modified in a way that I like. I don't mind stock, just there's not much to really do and when you try to it gets botched.

The Renesis makes great power but honestly it's a terrible engine just for the fact that they flood so easily. It makes owning one very inconvenient at times. The dealership gets numerous ones in every week that need cleared, 6 years after they came out.

Used to be in several pieces. They re-did the engine not long ago.. This is what it looks like now

Why is the engine rotated 180 degrees?
Wait, that's a 4g63 isn't it?...just going by the rocker cover.

Daikoku Futo during the week days:
So much better with the spoiler.
I came across this guy's car life blog a long time ago and I now came across his videos. Most here will definitely enjoy these.
Check out his youtube account as he has alot of good videos.

Time for more oldschool beauties.

What an astonishing looking machine 
wouldn't it be the driver that sucks then seeing as how they'd be the one that couldn't handle the power
On a side note, that gray supra and the starlet <3

If you're interested in what really goes in to creating a 1,000bhp car and you have the time, the following threads are a really good 'diary' of a Supra that starts out standard back in July 2008, reaches 730bhp relatively quickly, and is currently undergoing the final mods that will take it to >1,000bhp.
The first thread is up to around 730bhp...
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassin...77&mid=102569&nmt=Supra TT single turbo build.
The 2nd thread started just a week ago and is following the quest for 1,000bhp...
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=841007&mid=102569&nmt=Going for 1000 bhp!
The threads are well written with loads of quality photos and few videos of the car on both the track and drag strip.

Or as if sticking 1000+ whp into an otherwise decent Supra doesn't make it rubbish.
And in this case the rest of that Supra is closer to stock than that NSX. Typical supra owner.
I don't think PB was referring to the engine being badly built but rather it hindered the car nearly useless on anywhere but a drag strip with some slicks. Surely the owner does not care, or does not know he should care.
The chassis should always be faster than the engine.

That Supra is going to look so insane when it's done. I do think he went overboard with the Takata green and the rear diffuser though. It looked perfect already after he fitted the front lip. Oh, and that rear spoiler would look so fantastic without the rear wing

I approve.
Also, I'd forgotten how much I liked the look of the RX-8. Great looking cars, those.
Unfortunately, you are dead wrong. I have ridden in a 1000hp supra, and it was quite exhilarating, but...each person has their own preference, can we agree?

There aren't any imports, but it's still pretty good. An interview with Smokey Nagata of Top Secret by Speedhunters.

Anyone else completely amazed by the stunning quality of the photographer in that interview?

You aren't alone. So many people could learn from those pictures in how to take amazing portrait work. My mind is blown at the DoF usage and contrasts. Just amazing.
