RX8 Club Malaysia

After the RX8 initial launch in 2003, Mazda released a limited run of the “Mazdaspeed Version” boasting various Mazdaspeed accessories as well as a slightly tuned ECU. This special edition was available in Strato Blue Mica or Sunlight Silver. Only 300 were produced. In 2004, Mazda followed up with a “Mazdaspeed Version II,” this time available only in Strato Blue and with slightly up-rated equipment. Only 300 were produced as before.

The list of modifications done by Mazdaspeed for this limited production were:

• Tuned ECU for additional 10ps
• MS flywheel
• Dual Mazdaspeed oil coolers
• MS Exhaust catback exhaust system
• MS shock absorbers and lowered springs
• MS brake pads
• MS Stabiliser bars (front, rear, and under)
• Full MS bodykit (front, side, rear, and wing)
• MS Earthing kit
• Defi link meters
• And other yummy MS optional items such as the MS-01S Forged magnesium rims, MS Type-F racing seats, MS interior Carbon look parts, etc

In Malaysia, our last count , there are at least 5 of these limited edition MS versions and we’re fortunate enough to be able to photograph one of our member’s ride. Read more about it in the forum.
