I am refering the interior... does Greg (jormatom) has swede or full leather. In both cases, they are beige and hard to take care of

I'll upgrade ASAP provided the new RX8 is a super dooper 3 rotor renesis. (NA of course)
I'll choose alacantra over full leather.
Alcon or Brembo brake upgrade (4 pots for front will do).
Xenon high beam lights.
And I'll take velocity red.

Back to topic...

Love those alacantra trim. What other interior colour does it come with?

You are looking at it.....get the chunky gold jewellery out and undo the top three buttons on your shirt. Play that funky music, white boy.

I saw an interestingly coloured RX8 on a car transporter the other day - driving along.

It was a metalic blue with a bit of turquoise or emerald in it. Could it have been one of these??

Cheers,
Hymee.

Like the absence of ribbing but forget about the beige colour and I still hate the sun roof.

And I already have a Mazda watch...

**** poor effort Mazda.

Hi guys,

I've been away for a little while, and finally got back to the forum.

I guess I haven't been updating the forum lately and found this new 2006 Special Edition rx-8??

This is my Q - sorry for all the hassel here, but like i said, i've been away a little bit...

i guess the main question here is : what's the difference between the 2005 Special Edition and 2006 Special Edition? i actually own a 2005 special edition rx-8 (those who went to the NSW cruise in 2005 Sep, would remember me... hopefully... )

the only frustration(?) is that i seem to be the only one with the 2005 special edition at this time? do we have other people with the special edition? - i got mine 2005 May.
The only reason i ask is because i have had some issues with the car, and it took almost 3 weeks to get the paint for the so called "radient ebony" colour... hm... i hope i'm the only one having to go through this process.

anyway, great to be back on the forum.

will catch up with the NSW at the March drive, hopefully.

- Frank
