custom sub box for corner of trunk, alpine type r sub, and alpine mrd-m501 amp....pics soon!

 

All new front end from the firewall to the bumper!

 

My wife got me the Front and rear Raceing Beat Sway Bars and My Bro got me the Red RX8 Diecast Transformer

 

I got the fender strakes and aluminum pedals. (I have and automatic. The cool pedals aren't standard.)

 

I got my windows tinted this week. Also ordered the clear corners.
My wife bought me the Ice Link for my 3rd generation iPod! I can't wait until I get that installed.

My window tinting:
I had the max leagal tint for NC installed Premium tint with a hint of reflective film to it. 35% light transmission. $177 bucks installed!
Triad Sun Control in Winston-Salem rocks!

I also got one of the Mr. Clean Auto Dry from my son. I know that I've seen mixed reviews of this product, so I am reserving judgement until I use it a time or two.

 

I scored the Racing Beat screens and an RX-8 slot car. Sweet!

 

MS short shift...

 

I bought this last fall, but I never got around to trying it out. Everything that I have read about it has been positive. The water around here is so hard, I am looking forward to trying it out.

What did I get for my 8 for Christmas?

Well there was the...

And the...

Ok, I got a bottle of touch up paint when I took my car in for it's 5000 mile service.

The service guy threw in a Mazda key ring and an RX-8 refrigerator magnet if that counts. :D

 

christmas '04/new years '05- new "outfit", mods to front guards and a euro style rear spoiler :p

chinese new year '05 - new "shoes" :D

 

I got the Mr Clean back in August. It does a good job. The filter that you use in it needs to be changed every 3 or 4 washes, depending on how bad the water is. I still find some places that have to be dried off. Mainly the front and back bumpers since they are plastic. The filter I used last time I washed it, was turning brown. I used it anyway because I didn't have a replacement. It spotted of course. The filters aren't cheap. But I do enjoy using it.

 

I got the Zaino Ultimate Show Car Kit. Don't have my 8 yet, though. Ordering after the New Year.

 

My girlie bought me those interior foot lights.. they look pretty good.. too bad you can only see them on at night Go figure, I get those when I try to talk her into buying me a MS front bumper

 

In addition to the expected rotary accents, floor mats and RX-8 pen (boy is that one cheap), I scored an unexpected Kinsmart 1/36 model RX-8. The gray color is non-metalic and all wrong, the steering wheel is on the wrong side and there are no strakes, but I love it. I'm very grateful for a family that has been most forgiving of my self-indulgent hobby.

There's not much left that I want for this car... the aluminum pedals are too expensive to be justified, so they been written off my list, as is the '05 key -- it's just a novelty. I'd like to get the NAV upgraded to the latest firmware, but I'm unwilling to mail the unit to California for the necessary work. I'd also like to get my iPod integrated into the steering column, but the AUXMOD is never *really* going to ship, so that's out. SIRIUS radio would also be great, but my head unit won't accept XM, let alone SIRIUS.

I now consider my car a completed project. It's certainly been a blast getting here since I first saw the RX-8 Ad in Wired Magazine, Sept. '03.

Merry Christmas!

 

My 8 and I did well this Christmas:

Clear Corners
Exhaust Finishers
Various car cleaning products for the interior and exterior(chamois, MF towels, wash,etc)

Oh and I got a 1:64 hot wheel type RX8 (oh yeah, cublicle decorations)...interesting thing about it .....it says '03 Mazda RX8....you know they only made 0 that year ....maybe I have a rare screw up that will sell on ebay for thousands...right :D

 

Strakes, B Pillars and Stealth bulbs all around. Hope to get a new exhaust right after New Years Day. RB is what I'm leaning towards. Need to hear good sound files.

 

My eight and I did pretty well for christmas, we got rotor tire valve caps, the black rotor wheel centers, stealth bulbs, stainless steel brake lines and speedbleeders.

 

My 8 got 2 new Chamois' , a Porter Cable 7424 Random Orbit Polisher, and Osram Silverstar +50 H7 bulbs... I think she made out.

 

Well I didn't get any parts but my insurance company bought me a Grey 2004 RX8 GS to replace my Mustang!!

I guess now i'm gonna have to change my Homepage from www.mach1registry.com to www.rx8club.com !!! LOL

I've been browsing this site for a few weeks and i must say it has given me lots of useful info about my new car.... thanks guys!

 

Well... all the goodies are being order now. Clear corners, strakes, front/rear accents. And also caliper paint is on the way!!

 

Yea! Welcome to the club. I bet your insurance is cheaper too?

 

my girl got me an rx8 remote control car, a 1/18 perfect model replica of my old car, an s2000. clear side markers for the rx8, painted eyelids, and chrome handles. she's a good girl.

 

All weather floor mats, grounding wires, front splash guards, and 5 qts of Redline.

 

i got my windows tinted a week after i bought it. i have a red '04 with 18% tint and it cost me $150. i had mine done at alta mere. they did a great job on the miata i had, so i wanted them to do the "8." the tint makes the car look that much better.

yamajj
