The Fast & Furious trilogy has a lot to answer for. Targetted at petrol heads worldwide, it has

inspired literaly 100's of 1000's of people in tuning their Japanese sports cars and helped create a

wave of tuner businesses worldwide! The Veilside RX-8 VSD1 GT kit is one of the most

eyecatching RX-8 designs available. This particular car is world famous as a result of being the

main female star's car in Fast & Furious 3 Tokyo Drift, this car is probably the world's best known

modified RX-8 currently available for sale. This Veilside bodykit was styled by Veilside designer &

boss - Hironao Yokomaku. Newera's involvement with Veilside began when the Fortune RX-7 was

being styled, a car we fell in love with ever since first laying eyes on the clay model Yokomaku

San was creating in his workshop...! After filming an exclusive interview, Newera went on to send

the very first Fortune RX-7 show car to the Paris Tuning Show - then back to Japan. Subsequently

through development of business with Veilside, Newera Imports became involved in the supply of

Japanese cars for the 3rd movie, Tokyo Drift, liaising directly between Universal Studios,

Hollywood and Japan's premier tuners to create special cars to be featured in the film. The car

offered here is the only surviving genuine RX-8 that was built by Veilside & sent to Hollywood for

filming during 2005-2006. As our Fast, East & Extreme DVD on www.neweramedia.com shows,

Veilside's Yokomaku San is no stranger to tuning cars for performance, having been one of the

Japanese pioneers of 8 second quarter mile GT-R's and Supras in the 1990's.

This is the RX-8 owned by the leading female star playing Neila (Nathalie Kelly), one of the hottest

new actresses on the Hollywood scene. The RX-8 was shot at the beginning in the car park where

the first drift scenes took place, then later drifted on mountain roads on a touge run. Full

documentation to prove it's passage to and from the USA for filming is held on file - for one lucky

owner to keep, as proof his investment is 100% genuine.This Veilside D1GT RX-8 design isn't as

wild as the two other Veilside cars that appeared in Tokyo Drift (Veilside 350Z & Fortune RX-7) but

remains a very cool design that compliments the trio of cars that appeared in the movie. It's

without a doubt the 3rd best looking Japanese car in the film, hadly surprising - as it was also

styled by Hironao Yokomaku. This kit was actually designed by Veilside for D1 professional

competition use, hence the name. It comprises: Front bumper with large duct design (for Turbo

intercooling), side skirts, rear bumper with integrated diffuser and discreet mesh for displaying

uprated exhaust system, vented rotary design hood and a fully adjustable carbon GT Wing (Type

3). Having just completed a complete bodywork restoration to money no object levels of

perfection, the body work and accompanying artwork is absolutely flawless. In quest for perfection,

Newera commissioned an entire specialist respray with many layers followed by deep coats of

laquer to create a stunning level of finish before laying complete new high-quality decals of original

one-off Veilside design. Every detail was restored right down to the veilside plaques of authenticity

and sunstrip. The view of the front of the car is unarguably of agressive mood. If you ever saw this

car in your rear view mirror you'd want to pull in just to see it go by... Veilside front bumper's centre

is filled entirely by a massive Greddy intercooler, which feeds cooled air from the Trust T618Z

turbo to the intake. The original wide arches accentuated by deep skirts and stunning 19" 2 piece

wheels certainly aren't shy & offer a hint of grin inducing levels of performance lurking under the

hood. Veilside's carbon rear GT wing & bumper give more hints of the performance available with

the lower diffuser housing a large bore twin exit Tanabe full stainless exhaust system. The total

value of Veilside genuine bodykit is £3,250. The paintjob & sticker set a further £3,500. Wheels a

further £1,800 with tyres This is a £8.5 K exterior remake before we even go into the interior or

tuning work done on the car (Which cost in excess of this figure).The wheels chosen by the Fast &

Furious Team's designers are Avus Racing AF8C of 19" size. These use Toyo Proxes T1R tyres

(Official tyres as used in the film) of size: 275/30ZR19 & 245/35ZR19,

This car was based on a Type S Japanese model which has 245 bhp & a 6 speed transmission as

standard and comes with a full specification of creature comforts and unique RX-8 designs. Open

the front doors and you'll find where the B pilar is supposed to be - are additional door handles.

These open up the rear suicide doors, to provide clever entry space for 2 adults in the rear. The

centre console also extends all the way to the rear and the front seats have a rotor shaped design

on the headrests. As the interior wasn't featured significantly on this car, no changes were made

except the addition of a Momo leather bound sports steering wheel and shift knob. There are other

interesting designs too. When you operate the remote central locking on come the courtesy lights

located on the underside of each mirror. Needless to say, every possible option is included for

comfort, front sports seats to climate control air conditioning and 6 CD changer audio system.

Traction and stability control are also fitted - but able to be completely disabled for fun when

steering this car's rear end on the throttle. As this car was used for drifting, it was modified to

endow it with ample performance to impress in front of the cameras. A full Greddy 04+ RX-8 turbo

kit based on Greddy's T618Z turbo. This unit offers quick spool, and since the Greddy RX8 turbo

kit runs 5.6psi of boost, it helps with low-end power whilst remaining tractable & reliable. The

Greddy conversion is complete and very well executed. Coll air is filtered by a Trust Airinx high

flow filter then fed to the T618Z internally wastegated turbo via polished stainless steel TIG welded

piping and high pressure silicone hose. The turbo is mated to bespoke cast iron exhaust manifolds

compress the air then feed it via Greddy's front mount intercooler to the intake. At the intake

manifold fuel is fed to the Renesis rotary combustion chambers. The Greddy system includes an

E-manage custom mapped plugs in management system. There's an oil return ports from the

turbo to the sump. A 304 grade stainless steel Tanabe Super Medalion Hyper Spec Catback

Exhaust Dual Muffler with 70mm bore & 100mm tips gives this RX-7 a sporty sound from the back,

whilst at the front wastegate chatter is heard from the Airinx kit as the throttle is released for

gearchanges.. To put the power down squarely for drifting, there's a Cusco clutch rated to 350 bhp

as well as a Cusco 2 way differential. Suspension is uprated with slightly firmer than standard

TEIN progressive springs. The turbo kit is rated to produce up to 305 bhp at 0.56 bar. The car's

also been fully serviced and checked over by Knight Sports, Tokyo's premier rotary tuning and

race specialist.

Note: We also supply additional cosmetic engine parts for RX-8's at low prices! Being currently

stored in Tokyo Japan at time of sale this car can be modified further before shipping to

customer's choice with any combination of parts, from mild to wild, before being shipped to it's new

destination country. We would suggest a strut brace for the front and some alloy / carbon parts to

further improve the engine's appeal. See www.neweraparts.com for ideas for tuning work / parts

available, or Contact Us for further info.

During our brief drives of this car in Tokyo together with the 350Z (Back to storage after

photoshoots for magazines) we found this car to draw crowds. People in other cars alongside

would instantly recognise it and wind down their windows to make excited comments and ask

about the car, pedestrians stop in their tracks to gawp, and mobile phones are hurriedly pulled out

everywhere it goes - to get a shot of the cars before they were gone. Despite it's wild looks, it's

easy to drive normally. The uprated clutch feels much like a standard one would, suspension is

comfortable and it behaves impeccably in traffic. A sign of well executed mapping by Greddy.

From around 2,500 rpm the turbo comes to life and gives grin inducing performance. Release the

throttle to change gear and you can hear the wastegate chattering, to remind you this is no

ordinarily aspirated RX-8. If provoked it will of course drift just like in the film, but what we noticed

most was how nice it was to drive. This car could easily be used on a regular basis. Despite

having considerably more power than standard, it's completely user friendly. Make no mistake!

This is a stunning one off show car that can be used on the road, or if you're business savy you

could charge for it's rental display at shows and exhibitions, advertisements, etc. to help recoup

your investment or promote your business. There's no doubt in years to come this car will be worth

considerably more than the sale price it's offered at.

Currently located in Tokyo, this car is ready for shipping worldwide incl. Ireland, Europe, USA,

Canada and other countries (P.O.A). Car is now ready to ship, worldwide. Please Contact Us for

(1). Starting with your inquiry, we provide a quote or e-mail communication, so that

we are clear on just what you are after. We ask for detailed information from you, so

we can provide an accurate quotation from the beginning. If you are inquiring about a

car from stock, steps (2) and (4) are not required.

(2). When sourcing to order, our quotation is based on your requirements. As long as

your budget is sufficient for the car youre after & the car is likely to be available, we

will be prepared to find the car you order, or better. Remember: even if you budget

too much, it doesnt matter. We operate a system of supplying the best car we can

find, plus a set fee of 900. If we can buy your car for a low price, then you make the

corresponding saving.

(3). When you are ready to proceed, we ask for a deposit (& completed order form, if

applicable). The deposit is usually 1,000. If you want a car worth over 10K OTR,

then the deposit is 1,500. The deposit is fully refundable without question, should

you for any reason need to cancel before a car is bought on your behalf. If you are

reserving a car from stock the deposit is refundable less costs and time incurred

provided you cancel 4 working days before shipment from Japan.

(4). Miguel, our buyer keeps you informed via e-mail periodically whilst searching

for your car. Sometimes it can take weeks, even months to find the right car. In

addition to Miguel attending the major Tokyo auctions daily, we have buyers

searching daily throughout Japan for the car you want. No news simply means we

havent found it yet. We dont buy the first car which comes along. It must meet or

exceed your requirements whilst not costing more than the OTR price we agreed,

though it frequently costs less.

(5). As soon as available, we will e-mail you up to 30 detailed photographs, showing

all aspects of your car. We also include a detailed description. Of course, total OTR

price is known at this stage, so we let you know. Cars are insured from the time

theyre bought, to the time they are completed & collected by you in UK.

(6). Usually, boats are available every 2-3 weeks, from Japan to UK (Southampton).

How the Newera System Works




34

We arrange for your car to be shipped on the first vessel available. Around the time

the car is shipped, we ask for the second instalment. Typically this is approximately

60% of the cars OTR total cost. Note that the car we supply to you is fully insured at

all times prior to you collecting it.

(7) We arrange booking of the SVA test in advance - shortly after the car departs, so

that the car can be tested as soon as possible upon arrival to UK. We also inform our

UK agent of your full contact details and information on everything which needs doing,

to make sure the car wil be presented in beautiful condition.

(8). Shipping takes 5 weeks. Around 2 weeks before arrival, we ask you for the final

instalment, to cover Import duties, VAT, shipping, UK conversions, testing,

registraton etc.

(9). Before the car arrives, we arrange customs clearance, etc. so the car neednt

spend un-necessary time waiting at the docks upon arrival. It usually takes 3-4 days

for cars to be unloaded and cleared by UK customs.

(10). The car is sent from Southampton to our UK agents premises in Canterbury

aboard a car transporter. Upon arrival there, it is SVA converted, derestricted, SVA

tested & MOTd (If applicable).

All minor cosmetic work required (e.g. bumper scratches) is carried out. The car is

fully valetted just before you collect it.

(11). The car comes with 6 months road tax and is fully registered in your name as

the first UK keeper. If you have a suitable private number plate youd like to go on the

car, we can also arrange this, provided you have a DVLA retention certificate.
