How many other people own a Shinka?
I Have 05 Shinka. I know they were a limited production model, and how is your car doing?
Just bought mine ( hope everything is gonna be good ) :uhh: i love it so far !!!:) 05Shinka |
Still runs beautifully. Threw some winter Blizzaks and Black OZ rims on it and drives/handles like a champ in snow (pretty snowy winter so far in chicago). I have 16,000 miles on it (bought one year ago with around 8,000). Been using Protek R with each fillup, supposed to help protect the apex seals provide additional lubrication. If interested check out http://pettitracing.com/rx8/index_maintenance.htm
Double check with your dealer, but I just found out that my warranty was extended to cover me through 2011. (6 years, 60,000 miles) Unexpected bonus! I still think it is the most unique color Mazda has put out for the 8. Needs constant washing, but gets tons of compliments! ENJOY. Got any pix yet? |
Mine's problem-free after 14K miles. Even though she sits in a garage all week, sometimes two weeks (I only drive on weekends), she always fires right up, first time, every time. Engine's as strong, powerful and smooth as the day I got her two years ago. No squeaks, no rattles, no "marbles in a can" sounds, no exploding sun visors.
My car is not modded, Castrol GTX 5W-20 changed every 3 or 4 months, no pre-mix. 65/35 highway/city, redline at least once a drive, sometime more. |
Thanks for the tip Rotorip, ill check it out. And i agree, its an awsome color! I have already had lots of comments on the color.
Mine is going to be a daily driver for the most part, it snowed here today in KY, so i left it in the driveway and took my daughters 626 instead. i just got this car last week, with 23000 miles. I felt like that was pretty low miles for a 05 :-\ Oh yea, they told me about the warranty when i bought it, very nice. I need to try to red-line it... i have been forgeting to do that. Ill try to get some pics up as soon as the snow melts off. |
i have an 06 shinka and love it!

Pics with snow are ok, too. That's all we have out here in London, Ontario.
Enjoy your cool shinka! :) |
