Just Got my New 8 today

What a great car.. I usde to own a 84 rx7 .

The new 8 kicks ***.. So many cool features two like the Tire pressure monitering sytem. and the leveling headlights !!
BEsides that the Rotery is awsome....


My only real beef is that the front cup holders are really not usefull if you have long arms like me and ever want to shift! ..
doh..

Any one live in Ca that has been ticketed for no front plate.

I dont want to put my on becasue it will really mess up the front end look .

Congrats !

Leave that plate off. If and when you get ticketed its only a $10 fine/fee. Get the ticket signed off - then take it off again.
Thats my plan
I agree with you on the cup holders. You'll get used to it..kind of

thew

ok .. thats my plan..

and the cup thing.. is not bad if you are curising long distancans with the Crusie cntrl on.. but hehe I cant ever shift out of 3rd

and who said this thing gest 18 mpg ohh you mean if i am not driving 90 in 3rd gear up a curvy mountian road heheh

Wow this car rocks.. My Old Rx7 was in excallent shape. I had rebuit the engin and all .. The 8 Puts the older 7s to shame..

You got the best color, too.

I don't know where you are, but if you do a search you'll find a lot of information about the laws in particular states, and the general question of whether or not to leave the front plate off. Here in Texas it's required, but I've been driving around Austin for eight-plus years without a front plate, and I've been stopped once.

I worked the dealer here hard .. Made him give me the price of a car 100 miles away .. Yes i made him get the car from a diffrent dealer. They really wanted to sell me the one on the lot but no .. must be Blue


and yes I have been ticked here in Califorina for no front plate. the cops here are really serious about it.. Stupid.

Not to sure if i want to Flash it to M . I love the way it drives ....

MY car was made in 06/03
there are no flash clues anywhere.

How do you know when your car was made? I'm picking mine up as soon as they get some stuff installed and would like to check...

I haven't tried the cup holders yet. As I recall, at least they are big enough to hold a bottle which can have a lid so if I knock it over I won't hurt my new baby.... it was love at first 'drive' for me... love this car which means little things won't bother me much.

check the drivers door frame, its on the plate.

thew

yes its stamed as the build date on the drivers door frame. Also the Tail light should say the month and year molded in to them.

be sure to tell that dealer that you want them to make all the updates and recalls to the car before you take delivery. that will amke you life alot easyer.
