Questions about RX8
Hi all,
I'm a newbie at this forum. Am considering purchase of a RX8 AT from parallel importer, was wondering about future maintanence and servicing. ? if there are outside workshops familliar enough with the electronics and rotary engine? Was wondering how many of u guys or gals in this forum own a RX8 AT? Also, which are the workshops around that bring in RX8 parts? so far I only know of specR that brings in the rx8 parts. Thanks, looking forward to learning more from u guys. |
Welcome, davester. Scan through the Far East forum - you will get most of the info that you need. Happy reading!
|
Yup. Welcome.
|
hee.... i am actually a newbie too.... and i got mine from a parallel import.
|
hi ray,
so hows the car so far?? did you do anything special after collection of the car? ie oil changes etc... where r u planning to service your car anyway? dave |
ops, sorry for the late reply. the car is great so far. i mean i dont really like to drive that fast so no mod to the car yet. also waiting for the warrenty to run out before i do anything. actually the PI will hook you up to a maintenance company i think. at least thats where i go for maintenance. everytime when i go for maintenance, the mechanic will change my oil though. saying that i must change it frequently....

Cheers! i juz got my car thru a PI too.... but got a few question where can i get the bodykit tat mazda motors is selling(not the mazdaspeed)? and r the brakes good enuff or should i get some better brake hoses once i get my car??? hope u can help mi thks |
Hi linus!
Which bodykit is this? May be the mazda RX options - if so most (all?) PIs can help... Brakes r good for normal use - but that shouldn't stop u! :D Steel-braided brake lines will go well with dot 5 (6?) brake fluid - better response! Me considering... U may also want to consider cross-drilled & slotted discs. Me waiting for Black Diamond - cool cos discs r black (matches me X)! Cheers! |
hi naughty boy
thks for all the pointers i was thinking of Endless ones coz mine is blue.... hope we can meet up and exchange more pointers in future thks |
Hmmm...ENDLESS.
Dats wad i will be going for too. The mini 6pot one. Its beautiful. But, not in the near future though kinda steep for the whole set. 4K+. Wouldnt mind changing the hoses,dot 5 and pads first. abt 600+ Endless too. Rotors n calipers later....Dun really need it 4 daily drivin unless u track a lot....:D. The original 4pots' r very good actually. Dats thinking out loud for me....CHEERS |

Hi
i am planning to get one as well next month , am in malaysia and only naza has it though , they got one that comes with the mazdaspeed bodykits and stuff, am planning to get that. |
neon,i suppose u noe the Endless mini 6 dun coms wif rotors.onli pads & hose & of cos,calipers.was makin a choice btween it & the GREX then...
|
Actually the mag which i saw, Hyper Rev includes the rotors and it adds up to 3800$ after conversion.
Unless the japanese written there says does not include rotors then i stand corrected :D. Page 99. Cheers |

shud have. my 37s got such a big lobang even 8 pot can fit. hehe
|
hi M-ster,
I told the guy when I ordered the volk rims that i want to put in the endless calipers next..so I guess he should have ordered the correct offset. thanks for asking. dave |
so have you gotten your GT-U yet?
I love those rims too, just not sure how they'll look on the 8. Would love to see some pix once you've got them up. cheers |
