1st post and my 1st RX8...

Hi all,
Well I took the plunge this weekend and bought a 2009 RX8 GT with sunroof, sirus and six speed manual.
I'm not new to the Mazda family as I had a MX5 GT with a manual. It wasn't fast but it sure could handle. A very fun car-esp with the top down
With the 4k rebate, the dealer was offering and the incredible crystal white
paint, I could not resist.
Anyhow, here she is...






My old ride...

Congrats on the purchase, I woulda kept the mx5 for the I dont want a roof days . But I can understand coming from a financial stand point. Read the stickies on this forum and familiar yourself with the car and how to take care of it.

Welcome to the addiction.

Welcome to the Cult!!!!! errrr..... "club"

quite a great looking car you've got there.
Make sure you follow proper break-in procedures, keep an eye on the oil level, and happy zoom-zoom'ing.

There are only one or two more of those within 300 miles of me... I was afraid you took one of them! If I had a good deal on it, I would trade up.

Thanks all. No mods at the time. Too broke right now
But the first mod will probably be a cat back system. I'll probably do some
really small cosmetic stuff like splash guards and those nice aluminum sills.
I look forward to reading all the posts of this great forum.
The rotary is sooooo cool to hear it spin.

Prepare for a sleepless night tonight and you'll get up groggy tomorrow and the first thing you'll find yourself doing is looking out the window and marveling that it's yours...Enjoy.

Hey congrats on the car!

Read stickies and get familiar.


If you are looking fora good quiet cat that will open up when you hammer it, I recommend the Racing Beat Rev8 exhaust.
