New Rx8 Owner (:

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. Just purchased a 2005 mazda rx8 (6 speed manual of course) with 36,000 miles on it. I have read all the the newbie guides and potential owner guides and am ready and excited to take on the challenge of the 8.
Tomorrow i will be changing the oil and filter, air filter, and ignition system along with a nice wash and wax.
Im sure you'll be hearing more from me too!

Welcome. Sounds like you know what you're doin. Throw up some pics after the wash.

Edit: Just noticed you're from Utah. Check out the local boards as well.

No.

Salt Lake county is about 51% Mormon. The state overall is about 68% Mormon. And the Mormon percentage is currently shrinking due to an influx of new residents from other states (and countries) in recent years.

Salt Lake City proper actually has a slight Mormon minority.

A new exhaust is an excellent mod. You won't see any power gain, but the sound is so sweet!
