Taiwan RX8 Thread
 

Any other Taiwan RX8 owners on this forum??

:)

Yes! I am.

RX-8 at Taichung Taiwan.

Oh~Me too..
I'm the Yellow Rx-8 In Taichung Taiwan too
dunsfada.What color you are?
Maybe I have see you yet oh.^^

Wow, that's great to see others from Taiwan.

I'm in Taipei. Sunlight Silver.

Hi King_RX8, how much does the car cost in Taipei? N can u post some pics of your car? R there any parts available in Taiwan that is not from Mazda but "Made In Taiwan"? Thanks.

Hi dru8999, I reckoned u mean how much the 8 cost in Taipei. Well, the 8 only comes with auto shifting, moonroof, leather, HID, 18 inch wheels, and 3 years warranty, the cost here is NT$1,720,000 which is about US$52,120. You will need to add road tax and insurance on top of that.

What kind of parts are you looking for? There are many parts ie. spoilers, body kit...etc. I'm personally working on the new badge for my car. I'm still designing it myself to replace the Mazda logo badge in the front and back. Got any suggestions? For sure it is a rotary shape. I'm just working on the design inside the rotary badge. Thinking of having RED color for the background. Since I'm not the artist or any designer, it is taking me a lot of time. Also, I'm planning to remove the MAZDA letter on the back and replace it with RENESIS. What do you think?

Any suggestions are welcome!!

I will take some photo of my car and post it. It's funny, my car was delivered to me 24 March, 2004 and until now I've not taken any photo of my car. Good reminder....Thanks

Hi King_RX8, its interesting to know that you r replacing the badges at the front n back. I know of owners who removed the badges but replacing them is something i have yet to see. Here in SIN, most of the 8s are manual but there are some auto versions too. I personally owned a Velocity Red with moonroof myself and its an auto with 18" rims. Well, its weekend now and hope u can post some pics of ur ride after the weekend. Enjoy!

hihi i am from Taiwan 2
but now i live in Canada ar
nice to meet you guys

Hi dru8999, sorry haven't posted my 8 photo....just return for Europe biz trip. I will take some photo of my 8 with some Taiwan Landmark this weekend. Hope the weather will be good this Sat.

Hi Evanchen, nice to hear from you. I used to stay in the eastern side of Canada (Toronto and Montreal). Good to hear another Canadian Taiwanese friend.

!!!!!

Can someone teach me how to attach photos?? I really couldn't find anyway of attaching photos to this thread.

Thanks.

hihi,
I am from in Victoria, bc.

Hey, I'm Made in Taiwan too... but I live in the US. Wow, 52k US for the RX-8 in Taiwan? That's crazy expensive. And to think when I went back, I saw some BMW police cars there... imagine the cost for those.

this thread is more than 1 year old!! :D

I was in Taipei and Kaoshuing in July for more than a week, never saw a RX8 on the road. But saw quite a no. of Lexus SC430. I think, rich ppl in Taiwan will tend to go for more luxury brand. :cool:

was born in Taichung, Taiwan
drive an orangy rx8 in Sydney, Australia :D

hi hi , orangy?? got pic to show ??
am thinking of changing colour, thanks. :D

xin nian kuai le everyone...

i'm an abc but grew up in taipei... was just there back in sept 2005 to attend my cousin's wedding. but, i came back early because taipei RE SI WO LE! <LOL>

anyways, i did see a silver RX-8 on the way to tao ruan CKS airport when i was headed back to LA. so, just wanted to say hi.

=) gerry

p.s. pix of my 8 in my virtual garage here...

Hey, sup this is Jay!!!

:wiggle: From Taipei ~ but now in LA !!! Good to know some TW 8s !

It's good to know more Taiwan 8 owners around the world.....here is the link to Taiwan RX8 discussion on yahoo http://tw.club.yahoo.com/clubs/MAZDA_RX-8_Club/

Yeah, RX8 is not so popular in Taiwan.....Lack of promotion by Mazda Taiwan.....ppl in Taiwan still have the bad image of rotary problem from RX7 and lack of service knowledge by Mazda Taiwan (trust me, they don't know s#*t about servicing and repairing RX8) ........ If only Mazda Taiwan can improve the service like Lexus, I'm sure the sales of RX8 will increase.

Hi there. anybody interested doing health business... plz PM me. Tq

If u'r saying that they don't know about the servicing then i suggest they close shop....it's easy to do service for our 8...every workshop will do.

mazda should just add a zero or two to the price tag, and then taiwanese people might suddenly be interested in buying it. LOL. so shallow...

haha im taiwanese too wow 50 + k for a auto rx8 lol crazyness.

hello everyone, i'm from tw too, hsinchu actually.

hmmm... bu xiao de. hao xiang mei you hen duo ren...

there are quite a few club meets around socal LA. i've been going to the malibu cruise, which is on hiatus until june, and the san bernardino meet which meets the 2nd saturday of each month. the meeting locations are slightly outside the city- mainly so that the group can go on scenic drives together. all the people have been nice and friendly. here are some of the links for your reference:

Another Red 8
 

Ya....I'm another eight in Taipei. Originally from the states, CA Placentia...Anteater UCI, but been back in Taiwan for about 8 years now. There's only around 100 8s sold in Taiwan and Mazda doesn't know jack on servicing our cars. So I think I should got the 350Z. But what the since you spend US$52K for the car, might as well keep if for a while.

There's not much parts you can get here. So you gotta either find trading companies, ship yourself, or have big retailers import it for you....which u will pay through the nose for it. Thinking of doing my own import export car parts here...could make a fortune...but no funds yet to start.

Well anyways, I have the only Autobahn kit in Taiwan....had to import it myself with the help of Yamada San and his friend at Autobahn JP. Have a Trust Exhaust coming in soon. So maybe will take some pics. Also have the Mint Blue wing which I got off Yahoo TW....and some other small parts from JP.

There's a 8 club in Taipei...but not interested since they don't do jack. Everyone's car looks the same...so I never go to the meets.

that's about it. If I have new pcs I'll post them

hi there all Taiwan friends. "Da jia Hao".

recently i bought a mod car guide07 published from taiwan, i can hardly find any parts that made for rx8, cant even find a single pics of rx8. is it really so few rx8 in taiwan?
