Cool Just joined the RX8 World...

Just saying hi to everyone. I joined the Rotary world yesterday by purchasing a RX8. I love the car to death. While not to terribly fast it handles like nothing else. Very fun car.

This seems like the biggest RX8 board that I have seen. Will be looking at information on mods for it.


What you think

2004 Mazda RX-8

Its a 6 speed fully optioned



What you think?

Here's the thread from CyprusRX8, who got them from eBay but you can get them elsewhere.

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/new-pics-strakes-56k-sorry-84408/

His source currently is backordered but you'll have to do some searches since I'm no expert on strakes, just love them. Don't personally have an 8 yet so I'm rather jealous.

Congrats again!

Welcome to the club!
New 2004 or used? If it's new, make sure to follow the engine break in procedures. Your car will thank you later.

Happy Rotoring!

Nope it was used with 17k miles. I bought the extended warranty so it has warranty till 150k miles (They start my warranty after the factory warranty ends 4yr/50k mile

Not a bad deal but it cost me 2200 dolalrs more.

I got the car for 23,9 fully loaded, Grand Touring Package, Nav.

Get some clear corners on that bad boy, flush out all the old fluids, and you're good to go!

Happy Rotoring.
