at last an rx-8 owner...
 

hey,
just posting to show my gratitude towards my parents.

I finally bought my rx-8 after so long. I was begging my parents from the age of 16 to get me the rx8.Being still only 17 and still not havin a licence to be able to drive legally(in cyprus we get our learning licence at 18).,is the worst fellin.I spend hours and hours just lookin at my car.
I imported it from japan.its the 250 bhp model with most extras.Titanium gray.I LOVE IT

Any general tips from expirienced rx-8 drivers i should know about
Thanks ,alex

welcome, and beware the meanies who will harrass you for not buyin it yourself ...

welcome to the insanity ... um, i mean the forum!!!

i pay them back though.I give them my sallarie i earn from playin soccer

good for you! a lot of peeps will just take the car and then post up crap about how spoiled they are. thats where the bad reputation comes from ...

I think I have said this before, but all new RX8 owners need to post PICS :) Congrats on the new car.

Out of curiousity, can you run a scan on your ECU and tell us what PCM flash you have?

^ LOL, you will now have to explain what the hell scan, ECU and flash are!! i was a n00b not too long ago so i remember wondering wtf all these acronyms were!

ye you will have to explain to me what it is.i havent got a clue

Sorry to confuse you, but each car has a certain level of software flashed into it's Powertrain Control Module, (PCM). Retrieving the version number of this software would require the use of a diagnostic scan tool that plugs into the ODBII port located under your dash.

If you purchased the Scanalyser from http://www.performancedesign.com.au/, then you could run your own diagnostics when you have trouble codes thrown. It will also read your current level of software. I was mainly just curious as to what version the JDM cars run.

Now post some pics! :)

Congrats!

I just bought an '04 GT6MT Brilliant Black w/Red/Back Interior last week. It had 28k miles on it.

Still have a'93 VR RX-7in my drivewayas well.

or next time you are at the dealer, ask them to scan and give you a printout. it will show on there ...

WELCOME! got rotary in yer blood eh? :mdrmed:

Welcome aboard, and congratulations for getting the fastest color! :-)

Welcome, enjoy the ride!

Welcome aloxide and Foz.

Enjoy the ride and have fun modding!

I wish my parents would have bought me something like that when i was 18. Hehe, I think they gave me a couple grand towards my Eagle Talon i had at that time.

Congratulations, just don't be a dumbass and total it.....they may never get you anything nice again!!!! ;)

Congrats, thank your parents daily, and treat your 8 with much love.

Welcome...
