I am relatively new to these forums, although I have been a lurker for a while. However I am a new owner of an awesome 04, sunlight silver, grand touring RX-8. It has 60k miles on it and I am the second owner. The car appears to have been well taken care and it drives like a champ. This is my second rotary my first being an 87 RX-7, and also my second car. I just got excited and felt like posting this information online.

 

congrats, nice to continue the rotary tradition.

 

welcome man!
Be sure to post pics and enjoy!

 

Thanks, yeah I plan on posting pics, hopefully later today.

 

Nice, welcome and enjoy. I also have an 04 with almost 60k on it

 

congrats. enjoy it!

 

BEWARE OF CURSE!!! BTW, post pics or you don't exist.

 

Also I have an 04 with 23k

Woops, double post.

 

What is the curse?

 

The sunlight silver curse, well not really, it's just that many people who have the silver colour with this car have bad luck in different ways. I don't want to say them because I'm too lazy and I don't want them happening to me.

Lately many VR's rx-8's are starting to get problems

 

My '05 is meticulous, flawless and Sunlight Silver.

Silver paint has a better drag coefficient, thus Sunlight Silver 8s are 2.2746% faster than the next fastest 8 color.

Congrats.

 

They dont call it "velocity red" for no reason. VR FTW , its the fastest XD.

 

I'm getting a VR 09! Don't want any curse whatsoever... what problems have you heard on the VRs? Only one I read on this forum was gearbox issue.

 

Well sorry about late pics, but here are a couple. Not really a photographer but they get the point across, I would say.

 

Beautiful car - congratulations. I would ditch the sunroof wind deflector though, as it sort of ruins the lines of the car - IMHO.

:-)

 

Very nice! Welcome to the club.

 

Thanks, yeah I have been looking at doing that.

 

Looks sexy - damn, wargoose beat me to it. That deflector needs to go

 

Congrats on the buy! SS FTW!

 

congrats on the 04 SS i also have one

 

congrats...i'll add to the thought of getting rid of the wind deflector...i have an 04 too...although mine's the best color...brilliant black
