New RX-8 Owner!
I've been a long time fan of my rotaries and just Mazda in general. I owned a 1994 Mazda MX-3 for about 6 years and spent a ton of money modifying it before selling it. The last few things I did to my MX-3 was once the body work was complete I painted it Winning Blue Metallic.
Today I am proud to present my newest edition to my family, My 2004 Mazda RX-8. It is a GT 6 Speed w/only 71k Miles and it came with a cat-back Magnaflow exhaust and K&N cool air intake and those beautiful 19" Black&Silver wheels. I posted a picture attachment for your viewing pleasure.
I am very excited that I finally got my hands on a rotary and as you can see it is the very same color I painted my MX-3 all those years ago. I couldn't have been more lucky to find one in that color! I probably won't do any modifications to it for a little while and just enjoy the car the way it is for now but I plan to have a street port done as soon as next year! Unless you guys can talk me into something else
Glad to be a part of the RX-8 Community!

Why all the drama? Yes, the K&N intake has been shown to cost you a couple of HP. However, it's not going to cause damage, give you herpes or make the sea level to rise. It does make more noise and if you like it, go ahead and keep it. Just understand that there are better solutions out there.

I'm literally 5 minutes from the Ocean. I'm about 20 minutes from Camp Lejeune (Jacksonville). Yeah, I've lived here for a very long time, the salt and sand isn't fun.
