[ECT x AB] B520 "RMagic" Mazda RX8 - Multiple Number #1s & Top #5 Laptimes! #MissTheTM

T H R E A D
There are a few Mazda’s everyone will know and this pink beast is one of the ones most remember, but unless you go looking you’ll never know that RMagic had a RX8 demo vehicle!
Styled on the Iconic R-Magic RX7 FD3S livery along with its custom wide body kit the ECT Chaps took on my challenge and have tuned it up to perfection!
Built as a shorter track weapon but capable across many tracks the lap times say it all!

We hope you pick up the full package and give it a good thrashing on track!

After lurking around for a bit I almost want to make a come back now. I was looking in the MS store yesterday and noticed that it had more 1 star reviews than any other. I guess second hand purchase it is
.
I gotta say, AB paints have always looked amazing, but FM7 makes your in game photos of them look like source photos. Blowing my mind

It was a pleasure working with you AB, the paint looks absolutely stunning. I never stopped tuning and sharing just rarely posted on the TM. I’d love to see it back to its former glory tho.

The RX-8 has always been one of my favourite cars. Looks stunning.

Just the shot in the arm the TM needed.

At the moment i don’t have a plan for one. Lets see…

Thanks Count! Yeah missed doing adverts lol, and great laps you put down!

I would say that is a good plan, by then it maybe a little more polished with updates. Id love to have the XboxOneX to see what its like in 4k but that is on the backburner.

Thanks Hokie! Appreciate all the ECT guys stepping up and sorting this out, must do more!

Thanks Indy, would be good to see bit more of this going but things have changed so much its tough nowadays

Stunning job all-round, AB + ECT. The AD, paint and tune all look amazing :+1:

Probably gonna be an unpopular opinion, but I wish turn10 would scrap this file sharing nonsense and get back to how things were in FM2, giving the tuning garages the ability to release fully built, tuned and painted cars in th AH.

I’ll start by saying this is exactly what I think the forums should of be about. “Here’s a cool car drive it” ok I will
How ever I did not like this car the paint is amazing the perfect blend of wide body that is wide but looks good from every angle.
The real downfall was the tune I ran this thing for 5-6 hours and about a dozen tracks. I managed a #2 #3 #4 #8 # 12 #16 I also wanted to throw the controller across the room for all of it. This car is an impossible battle between understeer and oversteer
I expect most people to better than I and wish you the best of luck controlling this thing

Sorry you didn’t get along with the tune, we appreciate your feedback.

I didn’t have any issue driving the car and it took me around 10 laps to get my times, i use controller btw. Judging by the lb positions looks like you got some nice times, thanks for running the car.
The homologation system doesn’t let you play with the build as much as you’d like, after all you can always build/tune one to your liking and still keep the paint on and save yourself a controller.

Just had to test this beauty :smiley:

Did som quick running:

Rio Mini Circuit: 37,124 1#

Rio Mini Circuit Reverse: 37,452 2#

Thank you sir, glad you enjoyed and congrats on the times!

Nice car guys
