Guys,
I read with great interest the posts here as I will be getting my 8 this week or next. However, I am living in JB so hoping to be able to join your teh tarik sessions whenever I'm up in KL. The 8 i'm getting is 2003 auto type E, red in colour with 2 tone red+black leather interior with sun-roof + 18in bronze rims
. No. most probably be JJH1168.
Therefore, kindly put me in as your new club member and my details are as follows:-
i. Name : Rasheed
ii. Contact no. : 012-7868168
Hope to be informed of any future meetings and functions.

Nah, might want to check Motor Trader for prices. I got my auto 2003 at 200+ as comes with a few accessories. I saw somewhere that can get same year for 180k but with 16in rims, no leather etc. Manual ones, sorry, wasn't looking for it so don't know prices. Prices for already registered cars are slightly cheaper unless been moded.

U'r From JB ya...i also from Johor but not JB coz haven't get my new house at Jb.Is actually depent on the car spec.If the car come wif many spec like after market sport rim,body kit,ICE & etc....Of course is expensive lah.Think most of the car dealer now is taking year 2004 car seldom have 2003 gua.But for year 2003 car auto will be around 178k-185k.Manual is around 195k-20?k.As what i mentioned is depent of the car spec.unless u'r buying a brand new rx8.Anyway,mrhjb did u car come wif navigator?

Hi, just bought rx8 before xmas... WMP4647. sliver, Japan spec. type E (most of the time in penang)
actually i hv some questions, hope somebody can give me a some opinion...
1. anyone knows where to service or check this car in Penang or northern area? (not dare to let anyone not experience to touch it.
2. anyone from penang?
3. the car bonnet and fender are very hot after a ride, cant even put my hand on it for few seconds. is this normal?
4. wat engine oil (fully syn., Semi or ??) is recommended or prefer for our 8?
5. the dvd rom cant even play a music cd, is this normal? its still under warranty by the seller, so i need to fix it and claim from him. anywhere recommended to do this job either pg or selangor is fine. (URGENT as the warranty is expiring soon)
Your comments are highly appreciated… thanks in advance.
