Just purchased my RX8
 

Wow, I have just purchased an RX8 and man what a car. The engine is so smooth and the shifts are so precise!!! Any advise for a newbie? All comments welcome!!

my advice, read these forums. a LOT. do lots of research if you haven't already, and this car will be your best friend for quite a time. :D welcome to our ranks!

^ this place is addictive.

Welcome to the club.

Don't short shift. Once it is broken in, when you want to drive it fast, change in the lofty heights of 8k+.

Smile. Enjoy. Flick the back end on occasion.

congrats on your new 8

welcome. and congrats on the purchase.

read + search function is your best friend online. lol

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo! :boink: :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod:

Congrats. Year/Color/tranny/options??

Advice: don't take anything anyone here says too seriously (except the read & search responses)

#1: Lower your car

#2: Pick an aftermarket intake

#3: Pick an aftermarket exhaust


#1 will make the car look the way it should and #2 & #3 will totally enhance the way a rotary sounds. There's nothing like it.

For sure.

And clear corners would be nice.

Congrats. Don't forget to check out the break in period recommendations, the ones on this site are longer than the manual.

BIG ADVICE: get snow tires if you live somewhere where snow is any kind of issue at all.

I have a velocity red rx8 with the grand touring package. Oh and its stick, I never owned an auto in my life!!!

Advice - - - - Learn how to point and laugh. It works great on ANYBODY who does not have an RX. I too was jealous, . . . till I got my 8.
Oh!!!! Dont forget to find the other local 8's in your area and go to a meet or two

Take some HPDE courses.
