Sorry, I had to.

I purchased my '04 RX-8 about a year ago and lurked here for a couple of months. I thought it was about time to for me to register and have a place to talk about how I cant afford mods, hate my local Mazda dealer, and spread lies about future RX-8 models. I mean, thats what new members do right...on top of making bad first post by starting their own threads...

First thing: I went to Mazda to ask them how much it would be for me to purchase the Mazdaspeed CAI and have them install it (since i wanted to avoid taking the bumper off myself). They wanted to charge me $460 for the CAI and $490 for the install. I think im just going to avoid ever going to the dealership for anything...ever. Opinions?


Oh yeah, my shiny RX-8

Hello RX-8club.com. I hope we work things out after this post...

There are some DIY's about the front bumper removal. It takes about 1/2 hour for the novice. The CAI is also available here for a lot less money. Seeing's how you've been around you should know how to search for the answers.
Nice Transformer pics!

Im aware of the search functions and i appreciate the advice. I just wanted to introduce myself and throw in the transformer pics somewhere. Best rx-8 related ebay purchase I have ever seen/made.

So then welcome.

I got a kick out of the transformer pics. Good one and welcome!

welcome

welcome to the cult

haha i like the transformer it looks bad ass

welcome!

Yeah I think I might have to pick up one of those Transformers for myself...I was a HUGE Transformer fan when I was a kid! Do they come in red? :)

WoW , 490 for the install ? thats the the biggest rip off EVER.

See this is why no one ever trust dealerships.

man u know what, I was about to say 100 bux I do it for u. If u're in NYC area, I do it for u for free, just to make sure that u bring me back to that dealership and I wanna ask them how the Fuxk on earth that they can even try to charge you 490. Unless their labor rate is 490 per hour.

I like ur pic tho.

thanks for the pics.

Nice first post - it made me look for sure - LOL

Local car club member gatherings are the best for doing mods. In the Pacific Northwest we all use dannobre - hahaha

Thanks guys for the welcome. I cant take anybody up on an install offer (well anybody thats offered so far) because i live in the DFW area of Texas. I dont plan to ever go to the dealership for anything but warranty issues from now on, those damn vultures. They'll pick your bones...

But if any DFW area rx-8ers want to invite me to any meets, it'd be appreciated.

I should probably post that in a different part of the forum though...


Oh, theres no red ones but there is a mazdaspeed decepticon. Its hard to find though...

Nice first post!

Its good to see that not every first-poster is a mouth-breather.

Welcome to the forums!
Loved the transformer pics!
Lots of people hate the dealers.
Nice car, perfect colour!

Excellent first post! Glad to have you aboard. :beerchug:

Yeah nice first post. At least you already know that your local MAZDA dealers are terrible nice 8 too. Welcome
