Recently bought a 2004 RX-8 and so far I love it tremendously. I did a little bit of homework before buying mine, since I had no prior experience with rotary engines. Now that my foot is in the door I'd like to gain knowledge from the community of other owners. So, what are the first steps I should take towards making sure my RX8 runs well and continues to run well?

 

Welcome!
The best first step is reading this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...t-here-202454/

It covers most of the basics.

 

Congrats on the buy!

 

Congrats. This forum is a wealth of information on all things RX8. I am not surprised if Mazda techs bookmark this site for reference.

 

Thank you! There is a lot of information to go through from the looks of it, so that's comforting to see.
