so i just got a used 05 white water pearl grand touring six speed with 33xxx miles on it today for a really good price. this is my first rotary and im kinda new to this stuff. does anyone have any suggestions or tips they could throw at me so i dont ruin the car in the first week?

thanks.

 

Read the owners manual. Then read all the Sticky's at the top of the different Forum sections.
Then come and ask al the questions you want. We'll be more than happy to answer them. Congratulations by the way.

 

Ride her hard.
Oh, and welcome to the club by the way!

 

Love the white, I have black but white is one of the really nice colors on the 8...all you need is tinted windows and black wheels and it'll look great

 

Welcome. Follow the maintenance schedule religiously. Was there any service records from the previous own? since it has over 30xxxx miles I would change the spark plugs if it hasn't already been done. Change the oil every 3k too.

 

welcome bro remember to redline and check her oil ... you plan any mods?

 

Premix!

 

congrats and.....stickys stickys stickys....read them all

 

thanks guys. i dont plan on moddin her out any time soon. want to get the feel for it first then maybe we'll talk haha.

 

congrats!

 

welcome to the addiction....research PREMIX..and read the stickies

 

so i was reading a sticky for the new owners and it said something about updating the computer in the engine or something like that for the 05. i dont really understand that. anyone know what this is talking about?

 

There are recalls for your PCM, basically, they reflash it to a newer version which increases the OMP flow and lean out the gasoline along with many other stuff, this will help your engine last longer. The best way to see if it's updated is to either call MNAO and give them your vin number or go to a dealership and find out.

 

how about this premix stuff. i read alot about it but i dont really know what to do with it and does anyone recommend any specific brands? i know this a rather newbish question >.<

Welcome and congrats... redline once a day...never shutoff cold...check the oil every other fillup... I would change the plugs and clean the MAF and throttle body...with your mileage for sure call a dealership and check that the recalls/updates are current...

Enjoy the ride

I don't want to steal your thread but I bought mine today too! Red 05 6spd. The entire way to pick it up and back I was looking for other 8's but I didn't see one and I was kind of sad. :/
