Hello friends
Gonna pick up a used 04 Rx-8 this weekend with about 27K miles. silver one.
From the readings carry a quart of oil with, 5-20 NON synthetic. do not start and stop engine without a few minutes to warm up. So far about it. hope to learn alot about the Rx-8 in the future.
Are there any good aftermarket people to look at?
Am wanting some slotted rotors maybe and REALLY want a rear spoiler to start.
have drove the (EX) wifes miata and liked the handling with the 18" tires on it so am looking forward to the RX-8 and hitting some twisty roads.
Have a yamaha v-max and a suzuki hayabusa motorcycles so a little high speed passes are nothing new.
thanks
Michael

You will love the 8 as it responds like a motorcycle.

It's not the fastest car but almost the best stopping and near the top for handling.

If you ever sell it ............. you will regret it. No other car resonds like this one that is so similiar.


Welcome to the club.
