Regards,

It's a terrible shame that the exhibition event at the recent Summer Olympics didn't get significant coverage. The Philippines won the Gold for it; but because it was an exhibition event, it wasn't counted towards the overall total. :(

Driving an 8 every day when I'm home has spoiled me!!!

So, how about it? Does anyone know if it's possible to rent an RX-8 in Metro Manila? I'd likewise be interested in knowing if there are any RX-8s for rent in or around Makati.

My wife has already warned me about the traffic, jeepneys, and heinous fuel prices. :)

the 8 would be awsome blasting thru the SUPER HIGHWAY,but makati,manila,hahahhaha POT HOLES,and TRAFFIC BRO watch out...anyways goodluck!!

Just speculating here; but it seems that for the worst of the roads, you'd almost want an 8 set up as if for Rallying (I checked and there is actually a topic on the forums here about a guy who was rallying his 8 back in 2007. I don't know if it's still rallying, however.).

shift015 04-22-2009 07:02 PM

a rally-spec 8?
I'd be lucky to even GET an 8 here in the philippines.
If i DID get an 8, would it run on our low-grade fuels? I read somewhere that it runs on Ethanol, and we have e10 here now in abundance. But wouldn't the mileage suffer?

Hey to the PI guys. Sorry about what happened there. I was in Guam with the 3 Tropical Storms back to back. Just thought I should say to my fellow Pacific Islanders!

I've got a few parts available if you're interested.
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/%5B-sale%5D-used-new-rx-8-aftermarket-parts-181971/

I can bring with me to the PI the next time I go so you dont have to worry about shipping. I just came back from checking out the Manila Auto Salon. Good friends with team Yellow Cab Drift, ATOY, DMF, Auto Plus - MOTUL, and Burnt Rubber Productions.

hit me up by PM!

Lokoebird, still on Guam? LMK if you need parts.

That QC is quezon city right? cuz im here in QC quebec and parts are also hard to get here. rx8s in pinas sounds cool tho! my cousin just told me the other day that 8 is not released in pinas. theres alot of good mechanics there right?

longpath 12-14-2009 10:34 AM

Given what my wife has told me about roads in the provinces, do any of you run a sump-guard or other under-body protection on your RX-8?

It's been over a year now; but my wife, daughter, and I have finally set a date for our trip. We will be in Makati next May (yes, I realize we're insane to be going during the elections), and I gather that the roads or traffic suck hard there. We'll probably be stuck hiring a car and driver (though I'd still love to rent an RX-8 if it were possible).

Just Returned from the Philippines Dec 09
 
Friends,
Just returned from the Philippines and Brunei....I did not see any RX8 in Manila I was hoping to see some. I am looking at any potential buyers for my 2006 MAZDA RX8 Shinka Edition (Manual T). I got 17,000 MIles on it. I plan on shipping this vehicle to Manila once I get a serious buyer. I will handle the shipping and taxation.
Galaxy Gray in excellent condition. The only sidewalk scratches I have are the two rear rims.
Peace!

LeeRain 08-06-2010 05:58 AM

hahaha and yup, maraming pinay dito syempre. kalahati ata ng hawaii mga Pilipino eh. naghahanap ka ba ng mapapangasawa?

I joined protegetech before but after 1 car show, decided I was getting too old for it. Basically I just use my RX8 going from south to Makati twice a week or so. Most days its just parked in my garage.

Thinking of taking the car out to BRC since I have the yearly membership there. Basically I am biker also so I often go out to BRC with my bike. Triumph Daytona 675. You ride? Which city you from?

Regards,

padilla08 10-17-2010 07:52 AM

nah, don't have a bike, but i really want to. in the future. lol. anyway, i'm from QC. sometimes, i go to makati with the car. most of the time, though, i'm in katipunan, libis, or greenhills with it.

cool. i go to BRC with my bro! we don't bring my car, though. we use his whenever there are track days there.

Cool, what color is your RX8? I did see a white one before in makati and also a red one but that years ago, I believe that one is owned by the president of Mazda Philippines.
