oh yeea...wat's the 1st ting u guys do after u collect car, other than pump petrol. ??

winn

1) go drive on the expressway home
2) go wash car

simply8

usually.....you will get the key, look for the hole, put it in and crank it!

kean

check your baby from inside to outside carefully....

Fugu

1) Realize that you are actually NOT having a heart attack.. its just you being extremely excited about driving an RX8 you finally own!!
2) Look for other RX8 owners to meet up with to learn more about your new ride
3) Start saving money for mods that you didn't want when you first got your car, but got influenced to buy after meet ups

Welcome to the family

Btw send me your (1) Full Name (2) HP Number (3) Email address, if you like to be involved/updated on our community events.

Collect car already go change rims and tires then go MG and get bodykit plus ask for a turbo.

BlackEight

just out from dealer shop, at the traffic light, rev a few times up to 8k rpm to take in the sweet tune of a rotary. it's like a highly addicitive drug

if got chio bu park next to u, rev a bit harder up to 9k, the sweet tune gets them wet...from drooling i mean.

then when the lights turn green, try how fast yr ride can go from 0-100km.

go to singapore flyer/ benjamin sheares bridge, see whether yr ride got speed cut at 187km, full throttle down from bridge to fort rd.

make detour go to millenia mall, park at the main entrance, sit at the outdoor cafe, have a coffee or nice cool beer and watch the babes orgle at yr ride n you orgle at them.

but seriously, the first thing i did after i took my ride, i went to leong seng to change my rims n tyres

sillyboy

u guys haf very constructive replies, but still nid to wash meh. ? will polish swee swee for me one le...bought at $91.5k nett

tat's wat i tot too, 1st stop is to change rims,

oh ya, u guys dun need to poison me, cos i "cfm wun" change other tings other than rims, get the hint ?

bro fugu, pm u liao.

ngkenny

heehee...thats what they say when they first got their cars. look what happened to them now. all zhng until mad.

u change rims...u find the brakes too small, so u change brakes...then you realize your brakes too powerful...so must up power of the car...so you do the exh, cat and manifold...then you realize the air intake restrictive....so you change filter....then you find the suspension too soft...so you change suspension...then you find that the car no bodykit not nice....so you lup in one bodykit....then you think 'hmmmmm.....i thot i wanted to just change rims???'

dun speak too soon sillyboy....one mountain still got one mountain higher.

don't worry, i not very good at spreading poison.

sillyboy

drive carefully and get use to the blind spots

first few months dun park next to pick up, lorry, suv, mpv or any cars that is bigger than yours otherwise heart pain when get nicks and dents....

and most importantly, dun let other bros poisoned you with their mods!

fly_vtec

Welcome to the RX8 family bro, enjoy yourself as much as possible at the lower rpm range during run in period, coz once the run in period is gone, you'll stick your needle to the 'red zone' all the time!!!!!

Trust me !!!!!!!

gliny

and u gonna visit the petrol kiosk pretty often. hehehe

Fugu

<--- this is what gliny did to me until I got poisoned beyond repair.. every morning I wake up with 3 things on my mind..

1) When are the mods that I have ordered going to arrive?
2) What new mods should I get?
3) OH ****!! Is it time for work again??

LoneWolf

Wat i did during 1st day upon collection was drive straight to tyre shop trade in & exchange new rims & tyre.

Next day sent into bodykit & spray paint workshop for 2 weeks.

Collected fr paint shop on 3rd week & sent straight to ICE shop for another 3days.
