Got my hands a rx8 finally!
Picked it up last wendsday, fell in love with the car as soon as I drove it I have a 93 Miata and had a 2000 bmw 328i as a daily. When I test drove the rx8 if felt like a perfect hybrid of the last two cars I drive/drove in terms of handling and interior luxury. The rx8 I picked up was a one owner car with 88k original miles it has two tone brown and black leather interior w/the pop up nav and DVD player. Is there anything I need to know to look out for in terms of preventive Maintanance or Maintanance in general? And what things are faulty and break easily that I should upgrade first?

Congrats on acquiring your 8 :-) and Welcome to the club..
I hope you got the compression test done Inspect the ignition components to ensure they are in good order Get the maintenance history from Mazda to get a better picture of what's been done to the car Tell us more about your car, share some pics.. Rx8 indeed is a great car, and looks and drives awesome. **Read through this thread, it's packed with tons of great info https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...t-here-202454/ All the best.. |

It's got the chocolate and black two tone interior https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...76a1c2d79.jpeg Body is super straight, I can tell the previous owner garaged it from the time it was new https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...7e10ffe32.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...b443c8871.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...d8a8a03c7.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...5f472e874.jpeg Took it out to a local track to get a better feel for the car, had a lot of people ask how I found a rx8 in such good condition and I shared some laughs with them because I don't have plates yet just the temp dealership paper one in the back window. It was all in all a awesome experience and I'll definitely do it again! https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...d08753190.jpeg |
