hey guys new rx8 owner here. I picked up a 04 silver rx8 with only 42k miles on it and ive had if for a week and love it. Ive been on here reading what everyone suggestions are and such and I still don't have a set plan for the car but i know i will be making it my own.

here are some pics after washing it yesterday with my friends tc

I have same year, color and miles. I pre ordered mine and still love it. Did you get a history of the car?

Looks good, congrats. My first suggestion would be clear corners.

Take the VIN # to your local Mazda dealer. Ask them to check the service and warranty history on the car. It will give you a good idea as to where your at with the condition of your new obsession.

I don't really have much a history of the vehicle except the previous owner had it garage kept and took really good care of it. Lol. I called mazda before I bought it to see what info they had and they told me the only warranty done to it was the pedel assembly. So its original engine still under warranty till next january. Everything works fine and I haven't seen any issues with the engine.

I do think I will be doing the clear corners for appearance and that's really it. I'm more into car audio stuff and suspension performance so those will be the areas of my focus. I do plan on doing some maintenance stuff like plugs, wires, coils, oil change etc... but it will be my money for a while lol

Also a little about myself. My name is bryan and I currently work at manassas subaru as a technician apprentice. I hold a degree in automotive technology from nvcc and have 3 years previous experience in car audio at bestbuy so I'm not a total noob to cars but I am a noob to rotory engines. So I hope to learn a lot about them here on the forums.

Thanks for the input

I have the same year and color as well and i have to recommend that if you're going to get tint i would get the stealth corners as the silver and black look great together. On a side note, good luck finding a decent deal on the dash kit, for some reason its ridiculously expensive for our car. I worked for BB as well and we couldnt get a good deal.

Enjoy
