I'm going for it. Greetings from a new member.
Decided to go for it and buy my first RX-8. Its a 2004 6-speed manual with 29,020 miles. Brilliant Black with leather, multi CD / DVD, GPS, etc.
Only has one owner and he has a full history on it. Picking it up tomorrow and heading strait to Mazda to check for any engine faults (gotta use that warranty if it hasn't been applied yet)
My dad has an RX-8 from the same year so I've been hitting him up for info as well as this place (nice place, but search is useless when a million of the same questions are asked and only answered with "use the search feature")
I'm not very car tech savvy. I work in the video game industry as a special fx artist. But I have enough sense to research every step I take. I was a huge fan of my AE86 and MR2 before I sold them for a family car (sadness).
Here it is at the dealership.

Still loving it! Got tires for it today. Ordered some OEM spark plugs yesterday. I'm not a gear head by any means, but this forum has so much useful info that I don't feel like changing the plugs will be an issue. Replaced my avatar to reflect my gamer origins. :p

I'm in central Oregon. Not the best weather for an RX-8. Thank goodness for Gran Turismo 5.
