View Full Version : Order placed!
sixspeed 05-09-2003, 02:26 PM Well I put my order in today. One order placed for 240ps model RX-8, in Winning Blue, with Leather and full Mazdaspeed kit. :D
Have been given an Oct/Nov arrival date, so still some time to go yet. Although I've placed the order to get me in the queue, I checked with the dealer and I have a couple of months to play around with the spec as it won't go into build for another 2 months. About 90% sure on the colour (tempted by red, with the two-tone leather, or black), and can't decide if I want/need SatNav.
Anyway - I'm in the queue now, so looking forward to getting the car!
Also, T W Whites so far have been extremely helpful and seem to have a good idea what is going on with the RX. I've used them for 3 years when I had my MX-5, and would definately recommend them to anyone in the South.

MarkW 05-10-2003, 05:37 AM Congrats Sixspeed!,
Can I ask how much you piad for the Mazdaspeed kit?, as I was not aware it was announced yet?
In my totally unbiased opinion, Velocity Red is the best colour and you get the Red/Black Interior. Just ask the Oilman!
Just to tempt you...
oilman 05-11-2003, 12:11 PM Well done sixspeed!
Dodgy colour though, how can you resist this??
Cheers

oilman 05-11-2003, 12:12 PM Or this beauty!!

Congrats - mine is coming from TW Whites too. Dealt with (but yet to meet) a chap called Rob = very helpful.
What is the Mazdaspeed kit by the way?
I was tempted by red/black interior, but since I have ordered it in black - not possible.
I placed my order a month or so ago - still nothing from Mazda UK, but sept/oct hopefully for delivery.
MarkW - good interior pic - where did that come from?

Toadman 05-11-2003, 04:13 PM Congrats from the Yanks across The Pond! You are required to post pics now upon delivery, and I don't mean just cached away her in the Euro Forum. :D :D
MarkW 05-12-2003, 06:37 AM Edo,
Got so many pics now :D I cant remember where they all came from. It might have been from the press pack.
Let me know if you have any requests for any more.
Anything Black! Also black leather interior with Satnav - I.e. my spec!
MarkW 05-12-2003, 07:18 AM Seen this one?

MarkW 05-12-2003, 04:34 PM Here's the black leather interior, not a great pic though...
MarkW 05-12-2003, 04:37 PM and this one...
Good job. I'm concerned about that handbrake getting in the way... since other people dont seem to have mentioned it, it must be ok...
oilman 05-12-2003, 05:33 PM Ask East Moon or JSG on main forum, they have their cars and JSG is a Brit working in Japan.
Cheers

sixspeed 05-13-2003, 10:02 AM Hi,
Hmmm.. I'm getting very tempted by the black after all those pictures. But it's such a PITA to keep clean.
As for Velocity Red, never been a lover of red cars. Sorry, just personal preference.
The price for the Mazdaspeed kit is to be confirmed, but comes to approx £2500 for the lot.

oilman 05-13-2003, 11:46 AM HOW MUCH!!!:eek:
Cheers
Oilman
sixspeed 05-13-2003, 05:21 PM Oilman,
This is just working on converting the prices in Yen that are on the Mazdaspeed site. T W White are one of the few dealers that support imports (they were still selling brand new RX-7s up til a year ago), and as such have a lot of contacts in Japan.
I know that when we were talking about the Mazdaspeed kit, the dealer was expecting to bring in a Jap kit rather than wait for it to be released here.

oilman 05-14-2003, 06:26 AM I have to say, it's to much for me.
I like the car as it is with a few of the minor additions!
Cheers
Oilman
sixspeed 05-14-2003, 08:39 AM I know, and I doubt many people will like the Mazdaspeed kit (especially if that price remains), but I'm one of those people that has to be different (why else would the RX-8 appeal.. :p). However, even though I'll have the '8, there'll still be others on the road - hence the kit.
Apart from the fact, I think it gives the car a much more purposeful and aggresive look.
