Congrats! Hope you love yours as much as I love mine.

I've done a few track days with local PCAs and Porsche's and RX8s play great together on the track.

PS. Post pics or it never happened!

If you need to check the dipstick to see if your 8 has burned too much oil, you're doing it wrong.

yeah it wont fit, i think the exhaust hangs a lil lower on the 09s, cus i remember at sevenstock RB had the quad tip exhaust out on display and i asked em if it would fit the 04-08 and they said it would, it was only meant for the 09s because it hangs a lil lower i guess...

Damn, if I didn't want a rear seat, I would have kept the Cayman, but I also would have bought the Cayman with the bigger engine. But, congrats anyway.
