Only days away from purchasing a black w/red 2 tone interior (gt package) + spoiler/appearance package (automatic :-/ ) or a titanium (touring package)
I CANNOT DECIDE WHICH COLOR!!


If you have any pictures of ur BLACK or TITANIUM rx8 PLEASE POST ASAP!!!

Thanks

Bro, there like 3 zillion of them posted in this forum. Just look around and you are sure to find everything you could possibly want.

A caveat is that I was going for black but chose tit gray when I saw it in person. You need to see them live to make a final decision if ya ask me.

I've seen them before. All the colors.

I wanted the users to post here because this would be a nice collection :).

my10ae,
Do those happen to be the Mille Miglia HT3 wheels? I ordered the HT3 for my RX-8 winter package with Blizzack LM22 17" tire. But I'm getting the gray finish to blend in with the salt and snow slush;)

TreknMazda,
what are these?
Appearance Mods: clear sidemarkers, rotor wheel centers, and black calipers?
Pics pls?

TreknMazda:

Nope my winter wheels are Kazera KZ-R wheels From Tirerack along with Pirelli Winter 210 Snowsport's.

Ya know I was buying the blue one for my wife as an anniversary present and she snuck out an got me one too.

The black one shows dirt quicker but after using the Zaino products, both clean up quick. We are luck though, we live in FL so the winters are easy. Biggest problem for both cars is bugs in the summer.... some of them can be real hard on paint.

Whats really fun is when my wife and I race each other.... last time we were running between 110 and 120... man are these things smooth....:D :D :D

Yeah & I think that they'd look just as good on the green!!!!

Black & chrome is a bit of a nightmare to keep clean but I knew that before I got it.

ROLL ON SUMMER!!!!

exactly how hard is black to keep clean...

anyone have side pics w/appearance/spoiler?

pls do show.

Heres mine once again. If u search ard there r many black ones :D

damnit.. i thought i decided on the gray w/red 2 tone.. but honestly the black is looking quite nice..
HELP ME :(

Holly shit i thought i also had black , i must be colour blind .hehehe

wow thats really gay.
You linked it to your outwar.

I'd curse at you on this board if i could.

:D MY BABY"S

Here is mine....I guess she is currently in "limp mode"...going to try and fix that...

What do you mean limp mode?

Does that have appearance package on it?

What type of interior?

If it does have appearance can u pls take a few side pics :) i'd like some from all diff angles if u don't mind.. really have to make my decision. (If you have red/black interior pls take a few pics, thanks).

Monte, it's been a week of you posting that the next day you're getting the car. Trust me, just go to the dealership, check the car out yourself, pictures do no justice for the true beauty of the 8. When I look at pix of Green, it is just blah, but when you see it in person, wow. Or any of the colors for that matter... just wow. For someone that has been posting 2+ weeks of getting the car soon, I would think you would have test drove the car/seen the car yourself over and over to make an adequate decision. At least that is what I did... I saw all the colors in person, test drove auto and manual...etc etc.

What do you mean limp mode?

Does that have appearance package on it?

Monte-

Yep, has the appearance package on it...and the rotary accent package... with the black its hard to see the flares on the sides because of shadows...front lip is very visible though:D

Here are a few more shots for ya..

As far as limp mode goes...I ran her pretty hard tonight..and she acted up...here is the thread on that...

http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16230 (Limp mode...)

Hope this helps...

Good luck with the purchase...I dont think youll be disappointed

I sure Wasnt!!!!

Another...

Red and Black Leather Interior...

Last one...ENJOY!!!

Here's my beloved baby!!!

black or yellow, now I am so confused. Black is my favorite on just about any car, but I already have a black car. I guess there is nothing wrong with two black cars, but if there is any place not to have a black car, it is Phoenix. Also, there is a yellow with yellow leather here in town, which is very tempting.

And the Chrome Stock Rims are effing awesome! I saw them in the brochure, but I haven't seen them on a car yet.

Does anyone know how much they really cost? I hope $3000 was just a joke. You could just go get the stock ones dipped for much less.

jdwk,

I live in the valley of the sunstroke / surface of the sun (phoenix az to non-residents and I love the black. Sure it's a little warmer but hey....it looks so good! There was a red w/ the chrome rims at earnhardt mazda on I-10 and Ray Rd. A couple weeks ago with everything and boy those rims were AWESOME. Looked really nice. Alas cost prevented me from adding them.

No matter what color you get, it's a blast of a car. I do love the yellow too!.

Jesse

Yeah, I've seen a lot more black cars than I expected out here.

The AC in my MX-6 kind of blows and not in the good way, so I wasn't very partial to the heat when it got over 110. Being black probably had nothing to do with it. I will have to get it checked out before next summer.

I was actually at Earnhardt's today since I had some time to kill during lunch. They had a dozen or so eights there but I didn't notice the red with chrome. Although I did notice the metallic red one with hideous 19" aftermarket rims. Why? Please tell me why?

JDWK,

I saw that one too....slight gaudy effect I would say. Have you looked at the yellow and blacks only? What about the Titanium? That would have been my second choice but my wife was all about the black. When I was looking, I only found four black RX's in the valley but the stock may have increased in the last month or so since my purchase.

As far as the AC goes, I'm pretty used to the 120 degree summers having lived here all my life. (I drove a car without AC for three summers and so I'm actually cheating a bit cause I didn't have a choice <grin>) I am more concerned with the effect the intense heat would have on the performance but I imagine that the exterior color wouldn't have as much bearing with a good tint job.

Jesse

Oh damn yes. Driving my MX-6 in the sweltering heat was a nightmare. Sure the AC wasn't great, but much more disturbingly is my car wouldn't move. It was absolutely terrible. I've ran a 15.2 with my minor upgrades, so the car isn't that slow (in fact some guys are running their 8's slower than that). But there must be a 30hp difference between night and day in the summer.(Actually I figured the temp difference only accounts for about 8 ft-lbs of torque due to air density). I doubt the color of the car has much to do with the temps under the hood though.

I vowed to get a vette, so even with the heat I would still move faster than I could ever want to go. However, the RX-8 is calling my name really bad, can seat four, and costs a lot less. We'll see. That's the fun part about not really needing a car. I can look at cars and test drive as long as I want. At least until the heat picks up again.

Here my Monsta' - notice the Chapparal interior! I have seen many in Red, but I wasn't bold enough to go with the Red. It works for me though. :D

nice combo

That's my choice too ;)

Sorry took so long to post this. But I didn't forget;)

can you take a few side pics of ur car? (front if possible too)

and since ur a black car owner, how hard is it to keep clean.. honestly?

any pics of it 1 week of non wash?

Here are some pix including the recent swap to 17" wheels and snow tires. I don't have any pictures of my RX-8 dirty:eek: It's not hard to keep clean. It's taking the time to keep it clean that may be hard. ;) I try to wash it every couple weeks. I'll hold off if it is supposed to rain in a day or two and let mother nature help. The wheels are more difficult with this car. At first, I was wiping down the wheels every other day! They can get real dirty real fast, especially the fronts with the brake dust. :p

We are supposed to get rain, sleet and snow over the next 24 hours. If I find I'm not too puritan, I'll take some dirty pictures in a couple days.:D

haha u the man trekn :)

i'll be looking VERY much forward to those pictures, i'll post my pictures on monday sometime (i'm purchasing it monday :)!)

I"ll be getting the appereance stuff on it, so i am leaving it @ the shop for 1.5 weeks :-/ then i'll take it home with everythign on it..i think thats the best choice (i hope :-/)

the pics will be inside the dealership hehe


btw, no spoiler :-/?

Oklay, Monte.
You asked for dirty pictures and here they are... really. I have not edited the pictures in any way except for size and cropping out the surrounding clutter. These pictures were taken Saturday the 20th. It snowed last Sunday and Wednesday afternoon. Heavy rain Wednesday morning, lighter rain Wedneday evening. For reference, the bottom picture in my post above was taken Saturday the 13th aftert the car was cleaned.

A lil late bro :) already purchased it

AND LOVIN IT!!!! NOTHIN BUT LOOOKS!

Its been claimed by my friends after they took a ride in it .. that my car is "Orgazmic" What better words for a car you buy when your 17 : )

<3 Rx8 (cept racing performance, i'm disapointed, its inevitable to race, and i just gotta over 4.5rmps and i'll do k :) )

http://www.surreal-media.com/monte/car/mine/rx.jpg

Now i just need someone to tell me about the mazdaspeed spoiler... how high off the back is it? and if anyone has pics of it on their black 8... need that asap :-/

Lookin' good! The strakes should be standard instead of an option. They just add sooo much to the agressive looks of the RX-8.

I can't agree more. Me thinks my 8 is nekked without 'em!
