On my first test drive I couldn't find it in a sport package model. Where exactly is it located so I don't fumble around on my next test drive.

The manual has the answer, but I have a photo also.

artists rendition of drivers seat with "DSC OFF" button circled:

sport or base

I think I know the answer to this, so flame on and I'll realize I was right.

There is a blank switch panel on either side of the Dash Illumination switch and the DSC switch in my GT pkg '06 RX-8. Are those switches occupied on models other than the GT pkg? If so what's on them?

I just didn't want to put the Master Arm and Weapons Release switches there if I need them for someting else.

those spaces are vacant on all the North American Market cars

The manual may have it, but he's a test driver, not an owner.

On my GT, the DSC Off button is located to the left of the steering wheel, below the left air vent, but above the small storage comparment. It's the middle switch between the dashboard illumination switch on the left and an unused "switch slot" on the right (my GT doesn't use it for anything).

You description is more accurate, but I still like brattessani's art work better. But what option did brattessani order to get FIVE switches on the panel and the DSC moved all the way over to the left? Brattessani, did you just get tired of that dang DSC trying to drive you car for you and remove it all together, or is the artwork just a Freudian slip revealing what you really think about DSC?

It's right above the start button......I can't believe you didn't notice it!!

On my (RHD) Japanese import Type S here in NZ, the three switches are:
- instruments light settings
- DSC Off switch
- Headlight levels selector (three position)

You won't have that last one as you've (usually) got an automatic leveller on US models I gather.

I smell a " who needs DSC? " thread jack coming :uh:

Who is Thread Jack, what does he smell like, and I like DSC (but then I'm that usless lower 50% of the RX-8 population that has an A/T).

Back to topic, since they gave use two spare positions, what should I fill them with? Headlight wipers switch, Transporter style license plate changer, what?

I've not actually had anyone get ou on my back bumper since I got my 8. And I'm a A/T driving slug. Now if we forward mount those...!
