1st Post and the way to beat 350Zs
BUY THE MAZDASPEED TRANSFORMER CONVERSION!
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...

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 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...
