I'm a new RX8 owner! ...AGAIN!
Yes! If you didnt see my other thread, my 2004 titanium grey was damaged while servicing at the dealer... we managed to arrive at an equiatable solution to get me in a:
2005 Nordic Green!!!!!! (11 mi on the odometer)
A couple questions... and I'll dig around here over the weekend... but if anyone tell me or point me to:
1. Is there a way to determine the port date from the VIN? (I found it out for my grey but cant remember how? DOH!)
2. How do I tell what flash rev is in it????
THANKS!!!!!
Yeah I'm glad it worked out! Theres still not another car (in the price range) that even comes close for me!!!!!!

If its on the dealer lot it 'should' have the latest flash and the heat recall done. You can check the build date (month and year) on the sticker inside the door.
If you ask the dealer im sure they can run a VIN history that whould show you all the info you would want to know.
Good deal.
Congrats
Happy Motoring.

I also checked under the hood, and didnt see any campaign labels... I'll have the dealer run the VIN 4-sure!
Thanks man!

Great choice. Green really struck me at the dealership too. I fell in love with the color and bought one. I get so many compliments on it. Get some dark wheels, they lookd great with the green. I have bronze. Gunmetal looks great too! See pics below if you want to see how the wheels look.

Hey... thanks for the kind words folks!
I took some "nominal hits," but suffice it to say, in the end, the dealer was very gracious... and I didnt even have to launch www.thedealerwrckedmycar.com... LOL!

Did you take any hits on going from old 8 to new 8?

Good gracious man, lower that thing!! I guess I'm just use to the look of mine with the eibach springs. funny how much different mine looks next to one with the stock setup. But it does look good my friend. Simply amazed at how you pulled that off.
