Good idea, since our cars are near registration. I haven't finalised mine yet, but quotes received so far range from about $1,600 to $3,650 (after 50% NCD and 5% offense free). I'm waiting for an insurance broker to call me back and see if they can get more quotes.
with 20%, they quoted me at $2800, covered at 150K, told my agent reduced some insured to 120K as once the car is on the road, they dont care whether it is a type e or s but the market value which will definitely be about 110 to 120K for a second hand type e, they had not got back to me yet, i am also looking to insure for 3rd party fire & theft, will consider that if premium differnce is 1 to 2K
know wat u mean bro!!! anyway, notice that u have indicated that u have strakes on your car, how much did u pay for them or was it in the package as well.
I got the strakes at the selling price per the accessories catalog from Mazda - can't remember the exact amount, but you can find the price in the RX-8 Japan website.
Thinking of DIY as it looks fairly simple to fit on.
I did get the strakes from Garage R - its just that they came much earlier, so Garage R passed them to me to drool over first while I waited for my car...:D
Aftermarket parts - I just saw the HKS suspension on Saturday...2 cm drop in ride height, but dunno how harsh will the ride be. I'm waiting for someone else to try first, then consider! :D I believe they also have the HKS exhaust on order, but this is not in yet.
know wat u mean! seem quite x to pay for 4 pieces of metal pieces but i too cannot resist, i am thinking of ordering the same thing like wat u have now, rotary accent, strakes and exhaust finish. still trying to source the cheapest alternative to order these things fastest and cheapest!

Hi, welcome to the forum. There has been numerous threads on the drinking capacity of the renesis engine. Do a search and you shld be able to find.
Anyhow, its ok for the kind of power and performance the car is giving - just don;t expect a normal 1.3 litre type of consumption!
No first hand experience yet - getting my car tomorrow! :D
Fab 8 - looks like yours the first to be on the road then bro, congrats!!! I have to wait till Friday
Crysta - Fuel consumption on a rotary basically depends on how u drive the car, if u keep below 3500, consumption should be ok, the car drinks when u open up the car and redline it often, but saying that, it is often normally advise by people who had driven rotary a long time that the car need to be redline once a while (more often than normal piston driven) to keep engine in good cond..

Cool man.... u are getting your car tomorrow..... well, i have intention of getting Rx8 but i also have o consider the fact that my current car M6 is not even one year ol yet...... i can't trade off for rx8. maybe next year it will be a better year to trade of my M6 for a new rx8 or a resale rx8...... cool... so your new rx8 will be black...... are u very excited abt driving it on the road..... heard that so far Singapore only have 10 on the road... but alot of ppl place order liao.
mine is titanium grey, but if not wrong, i think there will be close to at least 50 RX8 going to be registered by month end but only about 10 is type S model
