R-MAGIC Adjustable Carbon Rear Wing for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
I got the authentic R Magic lip one and they are sexy! The bigger one is growing on me.
I stopped by the Rmagic shop when I visited Japan in January. I purchased the Shift ****, and the Shift "color" (what was probably meant to be collar). I have not seen any specific threads on this or installs or how it fits, so I did not know what to expect. So in case anyone was wondering how it fits or what it does... In conclusion. - It will not work with the Axial Flow short throw shifter. - It will not work with the Rmagic short throw shifter. (this was stated in the product description on japanparts) - It will work with the stock shifter. - It does not snap onto the shifter like the stock collars do. - It does feel good with the stock shifter, but not as good as the axial flow. - It cost me 3,000 - Their Shop is super cool.
Just installed my spanking new Autoexe Stainless Muffler, and here's a short take of my initial impressions: The Autoexe catback is lovely - very unique 2 box design and the tips are the tapered kind (ie cut at an angle) each lasercut with the Autoexe logo. Very nicely polished midpipe which connects beautifully (and easily) with the exhaust outlet. Most importantly, the exhaust tips have a perfect visual alignment, unlike other exhausts i've seen where one tip protrudes out more than the other. The Autoexe definitely doesn't have this problem. Also, the 2 box design has a lower profile than stock. Previously, i used to scrape and even dent the exhaust box when clearing humps or even parking - not so with the Autoexe. The Autoexe performs really well, at least on my AT. There is a noticable increase in low end torque, and the car just feels substantially lighter. Revs are much more responsive, and the slight lag felt when launching the car seems to have melted away. Linear acceleration is also much faster (at least across 1st 3 gears), and i'm reaching 120-130kmh much faster on 2nd gear alone (NB mine is the 4spd AT). I'm very pleased with the low-torque gains on the Autoexe - finally i have that slight 'lurch' from start which the manuals seem to have, but the ATs don't. The Autoexe starts off idle with a really low, bassy growl. When first installed, it was barely audible, but sounds louder now. In time, the db will increase to an extent. On higher RPM revs, exhaust sounds deep and wet, and def not those shrilly Remus' we hear on the expressways from time to time. Installation was a breeze, and took under an hour at Monster Garage at Ubi, who's the only authorized dealer in Singapore, so these guys know their stuff. The torque/hp improvement was a shocker esp on low end, esp when mine's an AT. I've heard of bros installing Fujitsubos and HKSs that have either no or negative benefit. In this respect, I'm mighty pleased with the Autoexe. Sound is not loud, but a soft low bassy growl when idle, which develops into a mature wet sound at higher revs.
Just another RX8 Upgrades appreciation post. Thanks for the autoexe clutch and oem throwout bearing and for being a top seller to deal with. Need rx8 parts? Hit up RX8 Upgrades
HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust with Titanium Tip for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
I have it installed with the resonated bhr midpipe. I used to also have it installed with just a gutted oem pipe. It sounds real nice. If you keep rpm's under 4k, it's not too loud with a lower rumble, but above that and it'll start ripping.
I have the oil cooler fitted recently Jarl, with a MazdaSpeed (RHS) oil cooler Try to get the MazdaSpeed or the US, Hong Kong or Japan spare parts. I suspect they are different but what the hell it is still an oil cooler. Japan does not have oil cooler in the Type S as standard but most people will have that as option. Certainly they mostly opted for the MazdaSpeed version of the oil cooler (btw it looks the same as the other one I have now ) There are many oil cooler available as an aftermarkey option, such as HKS and Fujita engineering, just to name two. They are very pricey and go over the $1000 mark. So I choose the $600 MazdaSpeed one instead. What you need is a garage, really. I will recommend changing oil and oil filter at the same time. It does mean a cleaner job. Make sure you take care of the joints and prepare for an oil leak (did have some on my installation). The right oil cooler gets the first of the oil from the central (engine) side and they travel to the left (stock) one before going back to central. There is a bass tube (as shown in the attachement above) to connect the right to the left oil cooler. Get a quote for $300 installation since it will take someone 6 hours to do (inc changing oil). Make sure they run the car for 10 minutes before putting the front bumper back up, just to see if there are still leaks. Result is amazing, central console is not hot anymore, well... it is cooler than what it has been. Say the temp in the cup holder used to be like the upper tray of the coffee machine (the area that warms the cup). Now it is like the keyboard of your laptop, still warm but certainly the house key I put in the cup holder will not burn my finger anymore. MazdaSpeed oil cooler is race proven. In BestMotoring, people raced for 20 minutes in the heat, MazdaSpeed oil cooler has a oil temp of 100 degree cel, but the S2K and Integra are running at 130 degree plus.
The rear of the RX8 is one of the first things people notice. The Zenki tail light design is one of the most talked-about styling points on the SE3P. Car Shop Glow has built a lighting range specifically around RX8 Zenki LED tail lights. As a result, Series 1 owners get a direct-fit option that modernises the rear cluster. It also keeps the factory lines intact.
It is the kind of upgrade that completes an exterior build rather than competing with it.
Swapping to LED rear lighting is one of the clearest visual upgrades available for the SE3P. For example, the illuminated surface is sharper and more even than a standard globe. In addition, response is near-instant. Finally, the appearance reads as more intentional at night.
For owners who have already addressed the wheels, bodywork or aero, updated Zenki LED tail lights often pull the rear presentation together. Moreover, Car Shop Glow tail lights are aimed squarely at that moment. That is the point where details matter.
Car Shop Glow RX8 parts are designed around the Zenki body style. Therefore, confirm your build year and model variant before ordering.
For RX8 owners in Australia sourcing RX8 Zenki LED tail lights, Car Shop Glow is a focused, model-specific option. It is not a generic aftermarket substitute. Visit the Car Shop Glow official website to review the full product line-up, or explore our broader RX8 lighting range for complementary exterior lighting upgrades.
CAR SHOP GLOW LED tail lights are designed for Zenki RX8 models. Before ordering, confirm your specific RX8 variant matches the listed fitment, as RX8 tail light assemblies differ between Zenki and Kouki (facelift) production runs.
Zenki refers to the pre-facelift RX8, produced before Mazda updated the rear styling. If your RX8 has the original rear light design from the first production run rather than the revised facelift lenses, it is a Zenki model and these tail lights are designed for your car.
CAR SHOP GLOW LED tail lights are designed to suit the Zenki RX8 rear end and are positioned as a styled alternative to the factory units. Confirm fitment details on the individual product listing before purchasing to ensure the assembly suits your car.
Wiring requirements depend on the specific product variant. Check the individual product listing for installation notes, and verify whether a resistor or load equaliser is needed to prevent LED fast-flash caused by the RX8's standard globe-rated flasher circuit.
CAR SHOP GLOW tail lights bring a more contemporary LED light signature to the Zenki RX8 rear end. The revised light design can refresh an otherwise standard-looking exterior and complement other styling modifications, giving the rear of the car a more modern, personalised appearance.
Yes. Updating the tail lights works well as part of a broader exterior lighting refresh. Browsing the wider RX8 lighting range alongside these tail lights lets you choose complementary front or interior lighting upgrades that keep the overall presentation cohesive.
The CAR SHOP GLOW range is produced as a specialist rear-lighting line for the RX8. For specific manufacturing origin details, refer to the individual product listings or contact us directly before ordering.
