If they finish it on time, they will show it off first at DGRR 2008.

DGRR 2008 is going to be an interesting year! Ton of new vendors and new and unique cars.
to bad we can't get that puerto rican 20b rx8 I saw, may have been in a post on the rx8club, not sure if it was the first one done but it looked mean.

No doubt on the 20B 8. I saw a few pics of it on Nopistons yesterday.

Acsta did 20B RX8 back in 2004. They sold them for $50-60K converted. I think they were the first to do them and also they were the first few to do FD 20Bs without bump steer issues. But I'm little hazy about the details.. its been so long..

I think I remember those 20B RX-8's!!

Wasn't the first one silver and have a scoop molded into the front bumper that was a direct inlet to the turbo?
