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.

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....

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!

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

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

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.
