Hello all. I already had a 1988 RX-7 GXL, which I kept, but I traded in my SUV with cash and got myself a 2005 RX-8 today

Just saying hello for now.

 

What did you get? We need pics! Congrats, and check out our dyno thread here in the NW section. Might be a great time to see some more 8's up close this Saturday.

 

Few pics I snapped, nothing all of you haven't seen though















2005 Titanium Grey Base model 6speed, I went with the base model because it's the lightest one, didn't want all of that crap the GT package comes with and I can add leather later.

I doubt I'll make it to the dyno, gotta break-in the new motor slowly and all. Plus I have a stat project due for school soon that I need to start.

Just saying hello for now and I'll be hanging around

 

I must say that's a really nice color choice...

 

I agree!!!

 

Ti Grey is the best color :D

 

As a fellow 2nd Gen. RX-7 owner and RX-8 owner (in Ti Grey no less!) I commend you on your fine taste in cars and color.

Welcome to the club/cult.

 

What year is your 2nd gen? NA or TII? Are you on rx7club too or just here?

 

My user ID will give you a good clue.

My previous ride (now my son's ride) was a Blue 1987 Sport model. That model was NA but had the turbo suspension and brakes. It also had the aero kit.

I've been a member of the RX-7 club (same user name) for a long time but mostly in lurker mode.

 

Doh! I should have noticed that =|

My 2nd gen is a GXL with s5 body conversion, black interior conversion, rebuilt/ported motor by me, etc etc. Hoping to hit 14 flat with it this spring/summer at the drag :D

 

damn titanium lovers....black on black representin'!

 

I've had black cars, and they show dings/scratches/dirt way too damn much. I really got sick of it. Silver/grey show scratches and junk way less, that's why I got it.

 

i used to have a winning blue 8 :D
man now there are too many ti gray cars up here! we need more red and white!

 

If it's not red, it's not a sportscar

 

Ive only seen one other black 8.....looks mean....

 

OH yeah......I spend at least two hours on the car every weekend, considering goin to twice a week ....labor of love....black paint and I have an understanding....

 

Damn, guess ill have to repaint my car since there are so many other Ti Grey RX-8s :D

 

Hey so how much did u pay for your car?? i bought it at LeeJohnson dealer ship too.

 

2005 for $26k and 23 miles on it.
