Looks GREAT man, congrats on the purchase

 

now the wait for it to get here

 

Always liked that color. What is the wait to get the car out there?

 

JDM? So you guys in the Dominican Republic also drive on the wrong side of the road?

 

nope, we drive like you do, but we ca have both types of cars with a special permit

and you can allways do a swap

 

Nice! You got the right color too!

The more I see the MS front, the more I want it.

 

have you seeing my FD?

I just got confirmation the ship sails the 10th of october so it should be here early november

Im so excited!

 

congrats

 

Good for you my friend. Let me know when you want the trick NA motor with Iannetti Ceramic seals and an Engman enhanced water pump .

Pablo.

 

Nice 8!

ya know, maybe it's just me, but ain't the 8 aging beautifully????? I sure think so.

 

You think a right hand RX8 handles better than a left?

 

sure thing my friend, it will be sooner than you think.

 

nope, but for the price it does

 

Congrats mate. I also have a JDM

 

Very nice car!

 

thanks for all the replys, will get better pics once it gets here

 

Very nice car. The front bumper looks very nice too. Is that standard or after market? I thought the stock front bumper looks a bit odd but the one you have there looks very nice and aggressive.

I was debating myself whether I should buy a S2000 or Rx8 for a weekend car.

It's been awhile since I drove a s2000 (about 4 years ago) so I test drove a S2000 today. They let me drive a 2003 with 68K miles which handles really well but the engine as I remember way back still kind of rough and noisy. I am not sure if it is the characters of the vtec but it sure feels rough. So I ask them if they could let me rev up an brand new s2000 engine. It also feels kind of rough. Though the handle is pretty good, I am not sure I could live with the engine for long term. The S2000 is almost go-cart like with almost no body roll. It's almost like it is designed for track race only.

My brother in law once had a rx7 and the rotary was way way much smoother. I don't know why but other 4cyl from Honda was also much smoother. But though it feels rough, it feels really solid as if it meant to be rough. maybe a that's how a race engine should be like.

I'll try to test drive a rx8 next. From what I heard, the rx8 a bit soft but with suspension mod, its handling will probably almost be on par with the s2000 but with an added bonus of a much smoother engine.

Hope you enjoy your rx8. hope to get one soon (or the s2000).

 

the s2000 its a great car, but not a daily driver( at least for me) the rx-8 its a nuch better all around car, i have an fd with tein coil overs, its a fun car but if you drive it for nore than 2 hours you feel relive when you get out of it

the front bumper its a mazdaspeed bumper

Im planing on getting this car to the 220 rwhp NA, with the help of some great friends from atlanta , I was thinking of going turbo, but all my cars are turbo and dont want to fool around with the cars relaibility

 

Good car and good on narrow or winding roads. loves warm climates - what are your driving conditions like?

 

caribean wather! hot always hot 97+ allways, but I will do the same treatment as all my rotarys, aluminiun rad, upgrade oil coolers, etc.
