New Owner

Hey everyone! Joined a short while ago but I've been lurking for a bit and have learned quite a few things. I've owned 3 rotaries previously (all of them were FCs) and finally stepped up to the RX-8. Purchased an '04 6 speed GT 12 days ago and I am loving it! Hope to keep learning here and to contribute some things myself.
Here's some pictures: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...roth/01-17.jpg Attachment 234250 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...roth/03-13.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...roth/04-11.jpg Attachment 234251 Attachment 234252 Attachment 234253 Attachment 234254 Attachment 234255 Cheers! |
Great to have you join us.......did you get a history of service...
|
They gave me a Carfax and also in the pouch with the manual was a sheet listing the different service bulletins that have been done. Looks like it had an engine replacement in 2008. In just over a week I am taking the car to the local Mazda dealer here to have a compression test done since that warranty is about to go out on this one (unless it has already expired). In any case the service writer I spoke to at the dealership seemed pretty knowledgeable and I am going to talk to him about a few things when I take the car there.

Any relation to Sephyobsessed? :suspect:
|
That's an odd coincidence. I have no idea who that is. lol
|
:lol:
I guessed not. I know her in person, and I'm pretty sure her reaction to buying an 8 would have been quite a bit more...excitable...than your posts have been :) Welcome! |
Welcome to the addiction. Anyway, any future mods in mind?
|
:squint: I feel my identity slowly draining away...:lol:
It's all good man! Welcome welcome! I will have to ask....where did the name sephy originate for you hmmm? |
:lol: I thought Sephy edited her name and bought an 8. Nice 8 welcome aboard.

Many many years ago I used to love Final Fantasy VII. My favorite character was the antagonist from that game. His name is Sephiroth. I thought he was a badass so I used it for everything but it turns out most videogames only let you have up to an 8 character name so I shortened it to Sephy. Yes, a very interesting story. :lol: And may I ask how you came up with your name? I've had this name for about...10 years now LOL God i feel so old! |
^WOW, you 2 are tele-pathetically connected :scared:
|
so what happened to the FCs?:D:

My first car was a POS V6 1990 Firebird. I have to admit, I only bought it because it had T-tops. Anyway, the transmission went out and a co-worker sold me my first ever rotary: an '87 NA FC. It was faded Arctic Silver and manual and I loved it. Eventually I came across an '88 NA FC that didn't run so I gave the woman a couple hundred dollars and it became my parts car. The sad thing is, it looked better than the daily driver. So I drove my '87 for a couple years until I came across an '87 TII. Took it for a test drive an immediately bought it. Beautiful white and also manual. Drove that for a while until it broke. Over time I sold each of them off and went through a few more vehicles, always wanting to eventually get another rotary. Finally came across this RX-8 and here I am. Sorry for the novel. :lol: Again, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Like I said, I've been lurking for a little while and so far I really like this forum. :ylsuper: |

|
Welcome. Super clean, nice to see someone before you respected the car.
I met a guy this morning who saw my '8. Was wild how much he respected my car. |
