Mazdaspeed. While few could afford the fully Mazda optioned cars. These must be considered the purest form of modification and the R-Spec was the pinnacle from Mazdaspeed.
What makes them good? Perfect Panel fit! Matched componentry. Not excessive, but targetet with the sports driver in mind. As street cars, these are cars you can live with everyday.
The details show the R-Spec front bumper (complete with canards) and the holes filled with MS upgraded oil coolers.
The bonnet is 100% carbon sandwich. At 350000 yen, it was one of the most expensive. A New GTR bonnet would be the same price. MS Wheels (produced by Rays) were also the best and lightest available. These MS-01 Magnesium versions are simply awesome. Back them with MS (endless) Callipers and up sized brake rotors and you have a formiddable combo for factory dominance.
Before the R-Spec though, the MS- GTConcept was produced, It's pretty hard to find one of these in stock form these days. This one took things a little too far.
Older Rays MS rims from the early 90's still look pretty good though.
A few other panels have found their way onto this car, but Mazdaspeed seats remain. They only really support the brand as you will slide around on these very easily.
The rear has an RE-Amemiya AC kit. Sides are Veilside. but MS Wheels look cool.
This one kept a more GT-C theme with sides, mirrors and typeII wing, but the rear was upgraded to R-Spec and the RE-A bonnet is definately not MS.
The Advan Super Racing Ver2. wheels still look wierd, but pretty aggressive.
This RX8 features Varis gear but the front bar is an MS item, so I grouped the car in this section.
Very tough looking 8 on the sadly discontinued, Rays SE37K
