New RX8 owner in New Zealand - New forum member
RX8 forum is the best!!!
been reading this forum for a month before i bought my 2003 VR RX8
it has 53000kms (33000 miles) on the clock
its Jap import into New Zealand, im the 2nd NZ owner
love the leather seats and 6 speed manual gear box
i have installed the AUX mod into the factory stereo THANKS to this forum,showed exactly were every bolt was on the dash
http://www.whatsmyip.org/ipodrx8/end.php
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

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
