thinking of Ipod touch or Iphone as an MP3 player to integral through stereo

car has come with Jap Sat Nav screen, i have removed from CAR (wouldn't work in NZ)
do not need Sat Nav ,New Zealand isn't a big country


haven't adjusted the ride height yet

Got XCON as my number plate

Keep up the good work - informative forum

 

Nice RX8, where in NZ are you?
I live in the very far north and also have a Red RX8, which I'm just about to fit a turbo kit too.
Have fun

Yes ,turbo will be nice for just the lil bit extra power

thanks

 

Welcome to the forum. VRs are the fastest

 

i really like the color,esp the glitter at certain angles
being this color,touch up of stone chip will be hard esp getting the shade right

 

Hi again

I hear quite a few people say that these cars are thirsty, but I don't think they are too bad, I've owned Rotaries since the early eighties and this is the most economical Rotary that I've owned.
As for the cost of Turboing the RX8, So far I've spent around $6-7000 on parts alone
but if Turboing your car is something you're interested in, then have a talk with Brettus, he's in Hamilton and has had plenty of experience with his Turbo RX8.
Have fun

Regards

Roger
