Ryan2008 04-30-2008, 06:21 AM How's it going guys, got me an RX8 yesterday :mdrmed:
2004 VR GT 6MT. I can get pics up later today.
The only concern I have and even my girl told me, it kinda smells like gas or something inside ( I had the windows open a crack ) Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks in advance, and glad to finally join the club.

Had you just pumped gas? lol. ;)
alnielsen 04-30-2008, 01:34 PM There are access locations to the 2 tanks under the rear seats. You may want to pull out the rear bottom cushions and make sure everything is tight.
Winfree 04-30-2008, 01:48 PM Welcome to the set - and if you don't get at least one compliment on your car in a week, then post - and we still won't believe you!
fahrfegneugen 04-30-2008, 02:21 PM ^that is very true. Unless it is sitting the garage.
Enjoy!
Welcome!

Ryan2008 04-30-2008, 10:10 PM Thanks guys, I'll get a pic tomorrow. As for compliments... talk about endless. It's an eye catcher wherever I go.
And no, I had not just pumped gas when I smelt it, lol.
I did however just pump gas about an hour ago at a Shell Gas Station... $4.16/gallon. :SHOCKED: $30 got me about half a tank.

Shit, I dunno what that could be, but hell my 8 came smelling like cream soda for christs sakes...
Ryan2008 05-01-2008, 06:35 AM haha.
I also was wondering since this is my first manual, are you supposed to hear the clutch/flywheel spinning inside the car when in neutral? When I press the clutch in it stops... It's quite loud. Normal?

don't sound right, i mean you can hear the engine spinning, u may even hear the transmission spinning sometime... but nothing should bother you.the sound of clutch being engaged and disengaged should be louder than anything.
the gas smell, its probably more motoroil smell that comes from the exhaust, or you could have a leak somewhere before the cat.
