New Arrival here
Picked up a new 08 VR GT, 6sp... Car had 170 miles on it when I took ownership of it yesterday afternoon.
Got an ok deal, not great (regardless how much the dealer would like me to believe I was screwin them) but anywho.. Spent almost half my day today reading threads around here :lol: Those of you with 04-08s, where's your oil pressure gauge sit? Manual says it's supposed to be ½ way, but mine's consistently a few ticks above that. Had a couple other queries, but I've been up for nearly 24 hours now (go go graveyard shift weekend) aaaaand my mind's a bit frazzled. :lol2: |
Welcome, there are plenty of members around Vegas here if you need any help im sure they would be happy. And a couple ticks over 1/2 is normal
|
Welcome to the club! Great choice on color cuz VR is the fastest lol. As for the oil pressure gauge, that's normal...plus it's a dummy gauge anyway. Post pics too! :)
|
Welcome, gratz, that's pretty much a brand-new 8!
The oil pressure "gauge" isn't a gauge at all, it's just a switch. It's like an idiot light: at a bit past half the light is off and all is OK, and when it's at zero the light is on and there's a problem. There's nothing between normal and zero. |
Pics or you don't exist. VR FTW!
|
Pics to come sooner or later... possibly in between. It is a brand new car. No previous owners... I wasn't looking for a new car, but they made it so hard to say no.. Oh well, that's their job, right? And the VR is nice, tho I still think it may get me into trouble :|
|
welcome to the addiction, errr, club! haha
yee! VR FTW!! perhaps. just dont attract attention remember though drive like you stole it! and a redline a day keeps the carbon away! |
170 miles isnt brand new. >10 miles is brand new.
but congrats on the car, arent rx8s fun to drive? gas mileage is eehh though. heh. |
Congrats, you have good taste.
Which dealership did you buy from ? |

I live 1 mile away from it.
Don't take your car there for service, They are wreckless. I got my engine replaced there and the day I got it back, my brake caliper fell off on the freeway and damaged one of my new rims and damn near killed me. They paid for a tow fixed the caliper and ordered me a new rim, but it was another week without my car. |

They did a quick wash (maybe wax) before I drove it home.. water spots down from the door handle... :banghead: |
He's not that bad, when face to face, it's just the techs that you gotta watch out for.

What would 150 million dollars and Jessica Alba do for you if you are like Christopher Reeve and Stephen Hawking.
