hey guys.
i just got a 2004 mazda rx-8
and i was just wondering what should i do to keep it from breaking down on me, now its on perfect conditions, can you guys give me some tips on what i should do?
like how to maintain it

 

Search

 

check oil
redline once a day
top up oil if needed
do more frequent oil changes
changes plugs and coils when needed
warm her up before stepping on the throttle hard (dont redline cold)
dont shut her off cold
search next time

 

how many miles you got on yours?

 

Doesnt matter how many miles i have on mine. I was nice enough to tell you how to "treat" an rx8 while other people wouldve probably flamed the crap out of you and you ask how many miles i have Just say thank you at least lol.

 

thank you i just got it yesterday, so im tryin to find out as many info as i can....i wanna keep this car as long as i can

 

^ the best, easiest and safest (without getting flamed) is to search. Think about it this car came out in 2004 .. 2003 for japan. Dont you think people have wondered and asked the same thing as you over these 7 years lol. Just try search. Type what ever you want to know in the search and see what pops up. If you dont find what you then big all means ask away. Good luck.

 

now start a mpg thread

 

Dont give him ideas LOL

 

no, should be an oil thread.
or how to get 300rwhp NA.

 

^ lol.. or " I started my car, moved it, turned it off and now it won't start !!!! " thread

 

Then you need to read this thread before you go any further:

BC.

 

Regular scheduled maintenance and preventive maintenance is a plus. Check your oil once a week (depends on your driving habit and mileage driven per week). Take care of the car, the car will take care of you.

 

Pretty much these guys told u how to keep it as new as possible...now everytime some little noise comes up with the car don't post new threads if you do not want to get flamed...just search its real easy to find the answers and read all the stickies....

 

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

 

Congrats and welcome!
Post some pictures or it never happened..
Words to be search:..octane..mpg..coils..spark plug..flooding..oil...

hmm..I think it's better to start reading here

my rx8 told me when to add oil. it would pop up.

 

This thread = epic failure

 

thanks guys thats rlly helpful.
any of you live in Maryland?

 

Actually knowing how many miles are on your car would be very relevant since you're giving him advice on how to take care of it. I'd be more inclined to listen to someone with 100,000 miles vs 15,000 miles.

 

^ Good Point. I was on my period yesterday sorry

 

No problem dude.

 

Oh wow. I hope you're not serious.

^^^the link that tonik posted and these two links helped me alot when i first got mine awhile back..congrats on the car bro

 

Things I've done... Check oil, use a heavier weight, premix, Sohn adapter, replace cat, Seafoam. Things I will do... BHR ignition, Accessport.

It just depends on what you think is best for your car. I did a lot of reading on here before I bought...
