Just bought one!
Hi everybody. I just bought a 2004 black rx8. Only had 22000 miles. Love it! I have a few questions if someone would be willing to answer them.
First, my red lcd display has some weird speckling on it. I tried scrubbing, but it didn't help at all. I wonder if its on the inside. It has kind of a bubbly look. Is there any way to take it out so I can check it?
Also, sometimes when I put the car in reverse and release the clutch, it makes a strange winding noise and the car doesn't move. If I put it in nuetral and back in reverse, it works again. It doesn't happen often. But enough to make me wonder. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem with reverse on my 05. You have to push the shifter in, then down. Even then, it sometimes doesn't engage right and I get the grinding noise. Once you get used to it, you can "feel" the shifter pop into reverse.

I do what someone on here told me to do and it has worked a couple time since then. When putting car in reverse hold the shifter there when you let out the clutch the shifter will move a little bit and the gear will engage with no winding or grinding.

You just need sometime to get used to put reverse in. I had the same problem with you at the beginning but soon I got better. Welcome to the club and hope you enjoy the car!

Huge hole is huge
I have the problem with reverse randomly. You get used to tell when you put it towards reverse, if it doesn't fully engage. For me to resolve it. I take it out of gear, let out the clutch, push clutch in, put it in first, take it back out of gear, let out the clutch, push clutch in, put it in reverse. usually goes in straight away.
My god, that sounds SO much more complicated than it does actually doing it.
*EDIT* The LCD and guages just looks like the cover is dirty on the inside? It doesn't seem too expensive, I'd let em fix it.
*Edit2* Oh, PLUS labor...hope that isn't what kills you for the hundreds.
