difference between 04 and 05
 
Hey guys,
just wondering if anyone knows if the 05 has any improvments that are better than the 04. and if someone knows, which one is better..

Difference #1: Sweet switchblade key/remote fob
Difference #2: Satelite radio (Sirius) ready
Difference #3: Yellow gone, white here (same as end of FD's first year, but the white is better this time)
Difference #4: All 2004 PCM updates done

#1 Some members claim the '05 keys can be programmed for '04 cars.
#2 Correct
#3 Correct (White RX-8==Hype)
#4 Should already be done for all 04's.

Since my rotors havent rusted,(a commonly reported problem) they may have cladded them for 05.

i can't figure why anyone would want a white car.......especially city streets where it snows. they are a bitch to keep clean.

Yes. The car.

With the HUGE discounts available on the '04 models, unless you're hard-up for a white one go for an '04.

(Icemastr, do you have any pics/specs of the 848RWHP 93 RX-7 monster listed under your avatar?)

Yeah. I want to see more too. That has to be with a nitrous shot, right?

Who in the world would want a Rental Car White RX-8 instead of Lightning Yellow?

Of course, I am biased.

And I did trade a "rental car white" Acura TL in on this yellow beast ...

How much are the switch blade keys? I have a 2-way pager alarm can I program the actual switch blade key to function as a secondary remote?

Either that or he's got a Trust T88-SPL or HKS T51R under the hood.......
