EAST MOON

This is latest information about my RX-8.

My dealer will receives my RX-8 on April 26 from Mazda Hiroshima factory .
The long holiday week is April 26 to May 5, for many Japanese and Mazda.

I hope to receive my car before a long holiday, but probably my dealer will say .........after!

JSG-san Yuhki-san
Please teach your status.

I really think if he's getting his April 26, that is putting a batch in the US right around June 1 - June 15. Right where my dealer said it would be all along.

But that doesn't really account for a week lapse in the production for the holiday.

I just want my car so I can be complete.

boy i would be mighty pissed if my car was sitting at the dealer for 2 weeks when i could of just picked it up the day it arrives. u should just be at ur dealer on the 26th and wait there for the whole day till u get ur car.

If all else fails you could always bribe the guy to stay late that day or whatever, how much are car salesmen paid these days, wouldn't be too expensive methinks.

Hello. EAST MOON-san,

It seems a few guys have received their cars yesterday in Japan.

My car is scheduled to come off the prodution line on April 28th.

I ordered "body coating" that will take a few days more at mazda logistics in Chiba. So, my car would come to my house around in the middle of May.

The excitement over the RX8 is too great here.

What...they're on the streets in Japan and we haven't heard from anyone yet?!? We need to get the word out and have these guys (or gals) join the forum!

Someone get in touch with the people who have their cars and give us an update on the car!:p

JSG

No updates from my last post - my car is being made today and I should get it the middle of May like Yuhki-san. The Golden Week holiday is next week.

Looks like EAST MOON-san is going to be the winner!

I really want to know how people are driving around in RX-8's right now if that's true. I haven't seen any but then I sit in a concrete box all day. The reason I'm puzzled is I pre-ordered in the very first batch (my name was down before pre-ordering started!) so if anyone gets a car before me they must have a friend in Mazda!

When I get a date &/or VIN from my dealer I'l be sure to post it up. I'll be taking the day off work to pick it up and try to run it in as quickly as possible.

EAST MOON

nice! Yuhki-san
I think, I will try to the "Skill-titan-coat".
and I am busy with "alumi-wheel" selection for my car, now.
thanks

EAST MOON

NO!.....the winner is all the members who ordered RX-8.
But maybe, the real winner is Mazda......?:D

thanks JSG-san

I got an update from my dealer last week.
My car will come on May/19th at the best.

Per my dealer, after my car arrived at mazda logistics in Chiba, they(mazda logistics?) order the optional parts for the car.
He said they could not order and prepare the optional parts beforehand until the car arrvies in Chiba.
So, my car seems to stay in Chiba for a while, waiting for the optional parts.

Anyway, I have to be patient a few more weeks.

JSG

Thanks for the update Yuhki but that sounds like a disaster. I've made plans around having the car by May 19 to do the first 1000km driving up to Nigatta! I really hope they find some way of speeding up this Chiba bottleneck. The Chiba people should be busy for me, I ordered: all the mats, scuff plate, body coating, 6 CD (no MD/tape or MP3), the touch-up paint and the baby seat! I need to make my dealer understand that if they don't have the touch-up paint just send me my car anyway!!

Will he tell you when it's at Chiba. The last I heard was my car was going to be made on the 24th but my dealer hasn't confirmed it was and hasn't sent any papers like the shaken to me. He thought I'd have them by the end of the month but now it's a holiday so I guess not.

Cheers,
John

Yuhki

My car arrived.

Congratulations, Yuhki!:D

It is good to hear people are getting their cars.
Although difficult for us Brits as we have just found our cars will now be delayed until September!

Enjoy your new baby, and we will look forward to hearing your impressions and seeing some photos.
