WTF Friday: Hardrock

Perhaps this car and the RB25DET Passat need to get together.

This build can be found in Swedesish on savartturbo.se.

While at SEMA the topic of RX-8s came up which has sent me back looking for a particular one that I have yet to find, I did however find this gem I posted back in 2010 from Victoria BC.
