new RX8 owner old RX7 owner
Hey guys,
Happy to finally join the RX8 club.
My dad used to own a FB back when he was younger and I have owned an FB and FC in the past.
Fast forward to current and about a year ago I picked up a pristine GSL-SE almost completely stock. Been driving her around and loving it but as with all cars about 30 years old theres a few things that are hard to fix and find replacements for. My a/c doesn't work neither does my sunroof and in my household I am the only one with a car.
No a/c sucks, and showing up to work all sweaty when you're about to start training people isn't fun. Not being able to work on my car and have her undrivable for a day is unacceptable because I drive to multiple locations for my job and I love working on my car but honestly a project has never taken less then one day to complete on her. I've had 5 people in my FB at once, almost everyday for months because I was the only one with a vehicle. Heck she holds lots of memories for me and my friends but I decided it was time for me to get something new, reliable, with a/c, backseats, and what better choice then to keep it in the family and pick up an 8.a steal.
Just picked up my RX8 the other day and although she needs a little TLC I already love her. I got a midnight blue ( custom paint ) 2004 RX8 GT with 60,000 miles on her for a steal. The guy bought it from his buddy when he got deployed and doesn't use it.. been sitting for a month or two with only a sunday drive here and there.
Has a Veilside body kit, not sure if I like it or want to go back to stock. Shitty aftermarket stereo which I want to change back to stock too. Nice full exhaust forget the brand but was a genuine brand. Missing a plastic piece that moves the seat, still usable just the button gone. TCS and ABS light on ( battery was dead but still determining if that was the cause or something else like alignment maybe )
All in all I'm happy, I love my RX8 and look forward to making her my own. And no, I'm not selling my FB but I am restoring her. I look forward to all the help I'll get from this forum
