hey guys

this my first post in this forum. i own a red rx8 that is one and half year old. I bought it in Australia and get my car imported back from there to Malaysia. My car just arrived today after a long long shipment and hope to get my car on road after paying the taxes and others stuff. My car's body is in quite bad shape and need to be repaint. hope to get this solved before the car moves around PJ and SJ.

by the way CSE in Uptown Damansara is the shop where my father supported for the past 20 years(me go there for 5years only). we get alarms and ICE there. And one thing i must say i that the boss (aka James) is quite honest with the customer and if you are not satisfied with the item you bought, he will glad to replace another unit without any extra installation charge. i'll go n get myself a clifford alarm unit as soon as my car is out.

hi lennon,

CSE is the place where i installed my alpine unit on the cupholder. the owner James is awfully qualified with the RX8 and i'm very pleased with his work. i got the clifford alarm from him too (G5 - 750)....

Hi Guy's

I'm an NZ '8 owner and up in KL for a couple of days next week, is anyone up there doing good RX8 merchandise? Caps, T's, jackets?

All the gear here is really lame!

hi Mike,

I'm sorry to tell you that the RX8 merchandise in KL is even worst...they don't exist! you're better off going to S'pore/HK to get stuff there. Alternatively, you could check out the car accessories stores like Brothers (in Kelana Jaya) for cheap stuff...Good luck!

lol hahha i just finished fixing it myself!!! its done... and it plays great

one thing though the radio is not incorporated... its a whole different unit

the whole is connected through pins from the radio unit, the power comes 1st to the radio unit and pins on top connects power to the mp3 cd player.

the removal process is the time consuming part i took in total 4hrs total with 3hrs on removal alone.

but now its all good...... I'm playing jazz.... lol

hey ,, i know i have not been active here lately.. the reason is i am trying to get a restaurant up so that we guys can go lepak there when there is a group session.. i got a unit at the curve ... intending to come up with a fusion restaurant *** bar ... have asked whether we could park our cars inside the area.. this would allow us to show off our stuff to people who lepak there .. ( in front of chillis ) .. the renovation is going on at the moment and i just noticed that i am running out of cash.. anyone interested to join up ?? well anyway hope it gets going and we can all have an rx-8 club meeting down there..

cheers

hi aaron,
it's good to hear that you're setting up a restaurant! what is the name of it? we could go hang out there once it's ready! when is it targeted to be ready? the curve is a nice place overall, good ambience and facilities. how's your car doing? have u done up the stereo yet?

Yes,Actually i'm student there for two years and decided to bring back along after graduated.

And yes again i did recommend CSE for audio and alarm as i'm long term customer. But whenever you shop there, try to bargain to the max before you installed any thing ( actually he already gives a very good price ). He's workmanship is good and kinda friendly as well.
