Hi All


Thought I would introduce myself, I'm Dave 35 and a lil bit of a petrol head (ok a massive one! Peugeot 406 Coupe 3.0 V6, Alfa Romeo 147, MG Midget etc...), and have just got my first RX8 :D


Bought it Sunday when I was going to look at something completely different, but have always had my eye on one since they came out, so no surprise when I got one...


Mine is a 2004 231, hopefully a bit of a steal with only 46,000 on the clock and the pricely sum £2400, and includes the Sat Nav as well.


First impressions, well I Love it, fun to drive, sporty, comfortable and always putting a smile on my face, even on the annoying journey to work. I also love the fact that a lot of people have a loving look out of their car windows at it


Have so far found this place so helpful, have already come across the forth on the dip stick and first oil top up (with a funnel very useful tip :D)...


I know this car will be a labour of love/hate but hell I had an old MG and a mig wielder living in my dining room for a long time, so not too much phases me, and nothing I won't have a go at....


I do have a somewhat odd question though, right at the front of the bumper, at the bottom where the black plastic is with the little triangle, should there be a grill there?


Look forward to chatting to you all, have some pics to post of the girl as well (not sure why but decided it is definitely female!)....

Thank good for that, it is so low down never noticed a gapping hole there, assume this is for air flow looking at the tilted rad I can see there/or for a lil down force?

Already preparing for my first oil change, and haved asked for shares in petrol companies for my b/day sure sales will be going up lol
