Wah still waiting?

Haha, my good friend has (used to have) a Honda CRV on the same ship as yours... unfortunately, his unit was burnt, so he has to wait another few months for a new one.

yah lor.....amongst frens/colleagues also never heard.

actually wat happened was that so happened that GR had this in stock, just arrived.

in fact, yest, sat afternoon went there, saw it being given a *carbath*

but dilemma between the pearl white and this stormy blue, both ready stock.
so went home to ponder over the colour.

http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/1751/img0092aak4.jpg

so today went back to confirm the deal for stormy blue. so one bid COE will be done on 5th Sept and expected delivery will be 8th Sept, a supposedly very good date for us.

I know many PIs have given the *PI* term a bad name. Need more responsible and honest PIs to step forward and provide us with more choices/alternatives than the ADs:)

If you are in Singapore, GR advertised it a few days ago on Classified Ads. As for other countries, I guess you will have to find a parallel importer willing to do it for you.

Hi everyone,
Am new to this forum and new to carz too ;) Hope to learn much from you guys! :)

I just ordered a 6AT 8 with GR last week too, think it was just after Raymond received his.

Cant wait for it to arrive middle Oct! :D

Btw I wanna change the stock 16" to 18"s, anywhere to purchase rims with a good deal to recommend?

Also, where can I get RX8 facelift parts?

Thanks a mil! :)

sorry bout late reply. got it for $122,488. omv around 30k. freebies like tuf kote, solar film, sound clad, system 6...that's all. can't expect too much from mm other than their servicing and warranty.

but any potential 8 buyers thinking of getting from MM, i'd like to recommend my agent, Winfield Lim. Being an 8 owner himself, he goes by the nick, Fluid 4 in this forum. He was referred to me by the club members as well.

his sincerity and knowledge of product was one of the reasons i chose to get from mm. when the car reached our shores, he rushed to get the necessary processes done so i could get my ride asap. spent almost 1 and half hrs introducing the car and its features to me.

also, his after-sales service has been excellent - i can call him anytime i have issues regarding the car and helps me get accesories as well.

btw, geste, welcome to the club man!

I chose Stormy Blue too like you, cos I think it's such a great color! :mdrmed:

Was thinking of leavin the stock suspension until they wear out, so just change to 18"s. (Anything that I need to note?)

T'was SiewLee that attended to me. Mine's the standard 6AT, I asked if she could get me the Mazda stock 18"s together with the car but she said it is quite expensive to get from Mazda, she suggested me getting on my own.

Just wondering what price you paid and did you manage to get any good stuff from GR? (Can PM me if you want)
