Hey guys,

I just wanted to introduce myself. The name is Jason. 21 years old from Northern Ontario. Just dropping a line. Been browsing these forums for the last month or so but never really registered till a few days ago. I just ordered a 2009 RX8 R3 model from a dealership on Tuesday. Should have it in about 1 month or so. Im pretty pumped about it. I chose the Electric Blue Mica for the color. :-D


Will take pics when I get it.

Just wanted to say hey to everyone.

Welcome!

For the record, I am jealous.

Hello! Have fun, the R3 is pretty nice in person. Never seen a the blue one though.

The month gives you time to order mods before it arrives

Old Rotor

The month gives you plenty of time to read the manual. When it gets here you will be too busy DRIVING IT!!

dapunk

Wont be ordering any mods right away. Car was expensive enough as is for now :-P ..

Looking forward to reading the manual once I get my hands on a recent pdf version. Found an 04 version no problem but thats just about it. I'll eventually find it :-D

Marklar

Virtually everything in the '04 manual should apply to your '09, so it's worth a read. Congrats!

welcome to the forum Jason. Tons of great info here on current RX-8 which most of it should apply to your car.

gotta admit, i am warming up to the new R3. Eventhough it has the ugly plastic mustache at the front. congrats.

I've got the 09 manual in PDF if you want. Thing is I haven't figured out how to share large files on this site yet. It's 6.83 MB large. Any ideas?

dapunk

Thanks for the welcoming btw.

bdeitemeyer

You mean Aurora Blue Mica?

dapunk

In Canada, its called Electric Blue Mica, Im guessing its the same o_O :-P
I was debating Galaxy Grey Mica or the Blue but I found the blue stood out a lil better..

bdeitemeyer

Oh alright, I'm sure it's the same color just with different names. And yes, it's a very nice color.

Hey Maz, i have a 05' Whitewater Pearl RX-8, and i was wondering about the quality of those front bumpers... is the drag coeifficent less or more with those bumpers. Cus i thought it looks real good and my stock bumper has the front right fender torn out... to be honest i would love all the info on the bumper :D, btw do they come painted or would i have to get it painted... cus the pearl costs a **** ton to spray...

GaMEChld

Also, does it actually come with those little fog lights or what's the deal with that? Doesn't the 09 have lights like those? I forget

delhi

hehehe... nice.


but for some reason, it seems to ask me "Why so seriousss tah?". And will it ask me if I wanna know how it got that extra grin???

hi jason and glad you could join us.

i've seen an advert for your model in the top gear (uk car show) magazine, and the new styling does start to grow on you. even the steering wheel looks ok in the photo.

its a nice looking car and having a winning blue and blue being my favourite colour, congrats on choosing one of the coolest colours in the palette lol.

i bet your all excited about the car, there is lots of help n support on this site, so no worries.

it will be interesting to see how the mark 2 of the rx8 measures up to the mark 1 which most of us on here all have.

but congratulations again on your new toy.
