New owner of RX8

I'm NEW!


I first had a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS, at almost 200k miles. I sold that for $5,500. Afterwards I bought a swapped 99' Acura Integra JDM B18b with 123k or so on that body. I Traded that car, straight across (somehow), for my 6 speed, 2004 Mazda RX8 Sport with 103xxx miles. I now have 106xxx miles almost. All I know is the exhaust is a straight pipe exhaust lol, everything else is stock besides the wheels. Anyways! Heres some pictures.

Pretty good trade up. I bet they just wanted to get rid of the rx8 because the warranty had just expired on the engine lol. Hopefully you made sure it had good compression and all that before you traded.

Be sure to search around the forums, read the FAQ and anything else for new owners so you can understand what it takes to keep your car in good health.

Actually, he said the cops were on him a lot out in Iowa where he lives and he is a Honda guy and has tons of parts for my Acura, so I traded. The car hasn't given me any problems thus far. Thanks for the heads up, and yeah I have been doing quite a bit research on the car. Before, I had no idea what the hell a rotary engine was about lol...but oddly enough, many people don't know much about them.

Before you know it you will like it even more..... And more, and more, and more, and more, and more.................

Congrats on the car. Looks good....... Is there a specific reason you like subarus so much (like you are a rallying fan or something) or do you just have a thing for them?

It is one of those things, where my step dad had one and I grew up 2000-til I had it this past year, riding in one. That is how it started anyways. I am a Subaru fan, because the obvious reasoning. The, (AWD in all makes/models, the 4 cyl turbo/the great community/the handling and looks/the deep growl of the Japanese car, any much more). It isn't just ONE model that is nice and fast (STI), they have the Legacy GT, Legacy Spec C, Subaru WRX. They are reliable and easy to mess with, which is one of my favorite things.

I don't hate any certain type of car, I just am a Subaru guy at heart lol...you asked

I love unique cars and Subarus are unique. I am finding out these RX8s with their Rotarys are pretty unique themselves and I love it; I'm just kind of blah in knowledge about them, but am very willing to learning.
