The one Ive got I got new from Madza. They were out of stock at the time so did another run for me

I have hunted down the last 2 bellhousings around and have degreased + waterblasted them clean as possible. 1 was ordered by a member who has not replied to my texts so both are up 4 grabs at $400 each + post.

will a series 6 box bolt up to these housings?

OLD FART · Post by **OLD FART** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:28 pm

I am told that they do BUT the imput shaft in the 6 box protrudes in towards the motor further so hopefully Dave may be able to confirm if ok

Series 6 is not an easy fit like the s4/5

I only found out the other day that the RX8 has a carbon fibre driveshaft!

I remember someone mentioning a shop in Perth do custom lightweight carbon fibre tailshafts, but at 1500 bucks a pop, not a cheap mod!

You think stock starion box's are glass, throw some power at an rx-8 & see what happens.

Very common in drags/motorsport in general.

I can get them made & SFI certified by Strange in the USA.

Price range? Any idea on how much lighter do they turn out?
