Hello!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am in Tampa Bay area and I just bought a 2005 Winning Blue RX8. 6 speed manual 53k miles. I decided on getting the RX8 after getting hit on my motorcycle which was my daily for the last 3 years. Although I love riding, I decided it was finally time to get a car, and the RX8 just fit exactly what I was looking for.

Anyways looking forward to learning more about the car here, and I am sure there is plenty to browse through!

 

welcome to the family! you're gonna love it...

 

Welcome Hammie. Post pics of the rx8 will ya...

what kind of bike did you ride?
i ride as well, also just recently got myself an 8...this thing is so fun, the rev range is comparable to a sport bike...

i ride a '06 ninja 636

 

I had a 2007 Triumph Daytona 675. I LOVE riding and I'll get another soon. And ya the high revs on the RX8 comforts me a bit and I love driving it so far.

 

Welcome and yes another bike guy although ex now. The 8 is the closest thing to it and a lot more comfy.

 

Welcome to the club, just to get you started, take an hour or two and read these informative threads:

Congratulations, you got an 8!

Oil question (braces self). My friend tells me to use regular oil rather than synthetic (he was an RX8 owner for 4 years). Is that the general consensus for regular street driving? Also the previous owner only used synthetic oil, would there be any harm in switching over to regular oil? Edit:<-more important question i guess (just reread the oil section in the "New and Potential Owners" thread.

 

You can use either. I use Shell Rotella Synthetic.
