What SERIES RX-8 Do I Own?

[ASH8]

There are ONLY Two Series of RX-8’s, a Series 1 (Late 2003, MY2004 ,2005 , 2006 , 2007 or MY2008) and the Series 2 (MY2009, 2010, 2011).. SO why different Sub Forums??? Mazda changed-updated over 400 different Parts for MY2009~ (S2), some Mechanical and some Interior- Exterior. Series II ONLY Mazda Parts # List Link Here >>Series II Mazda OE Parts Number Listings These NEW parts are NOT interchangeable or fit on the Series 1 (S1) 2003-2008 Model Years. Therefore we have “Separate” RX-8 Club Sub Forums and Threads for these two different Series RX-8 models. IF you want to receive the correct information from many experienced Club Members and You want a reply FAST... Then Post your questions or new threads in the Correct Sub Forums for your MY (Model Year/Series). How do I know which Series RX-8 I own???. All Series 1’s are Model Years 2004-2008 which includes all “Shinka” and “40th Anniversary” Models. A Series I (S1) can easily be identified by the long exterior Fender Strakes or Vents behind the front wheels, A Series 1 also have ROUND Glass Front Fog Lights (if fitted). A Series 1 also uses the RENESIS I 13B Rotary Engine. All Series 2’s are Model Years 2009-2011 (2012 in Japan/Oceania) which includes all ‘R3’ (a GT in Australia) Models. A Series II (S2) can easily be identified by the small triangular style Indictor Flasher Lamp on Fenders behind the front wheels, A Series 2 also have Rectangle or Square Glass Front Fog Lights (if fitted). A Series 2 also uses the RENESIS II 13B Rotary Engine which is not an interchangeable engine assembly with Series 1's or visa versa. FINALLY...How do I really help other Forum Members to ''Identify'' what Model Year RX-8 I own??? The easiest and convenient way is to include this information in your User SIGNATURE. Every time you post in any subject your MODEL YEAR details of your RX-8 is displayed to help other members in their replies to YOU...
