2005 RX-8 GT Package, Sunlight Silver w/ spoiler

I just got my RX-8 Saturday night (after waiting 4 weeks for the Chicago based dealership to ship it 500 miles). I am loving everything about it. I am about 150 miles into the break-in, and I'm trying to follow the rules... but I must admit, I have redlined it 5 or 6 times... I just couldn't help it.

I have posted pics here.

And I have an A/C question here. Your help would be appreciate with this one.

Other than the sqeaky brakes (which I hope is a cold climate issue), and the A/C issue in that other thread, I'm loving every second of it. I'm looking forward to an odometer reading of 600 or higher!

Count me in too! I just got final word that I'm soon to be the owner of a 2005 Whitewater Pearl AT, with sport package! Excited doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now!

Congrats.

NKling, Congrats on the Silver! It is the best colour and it looks great, but get some clear corners and maybe some strakes.

lmitch6, When do you get it?

lmitch6 03-08-2006 08:51 AM

DarkBrew, hopefully by Friday I should have it (fingers crossed)!

Welcome and enjoy your car, dont forget to let it warm up before switching off.

Congrats! It's beautiful. This forum has helped me in so many ways, and everyone is great, all helped me out alot. (except for certain people who are wise asses) Try to read as much about problems, car cleaning and the whole 9 yards so you know for the future. Enjoy!!

Welcome and enjoy the ride.

Make sure you learn the way of "the search button"...read read read and you will be fine. For every wise ass we have 5 good folks....or is that the other way around?

lol

DailyDriver2k5 03-08-2006 12:30 PM

Welcome, and like the previous guy said, silver is really the best color! LOL :rofl:

Put some clear corners on it to clean up the look , you won't regret it. Take a look at my 8.

welcome to both of you...but i do have to disagree on one point...whitewater pearl is definetly the best color :)

Jedi54 03-08-2006 12:38 PM

Welcome to the club!

I know it's hard not to redline but make sure you try and follow those break-in procedures. Your car will thank you later.

NgoRX8 03-08-2006 01:11 PM

Welcome to the Club! Enjoy the ride!

lmitch6 03-08-2006 11:54 PM

Well guys, I got lucky and the dealer transfer went quicker than expected - I picked mine up today!!!! 05whiteRX8 - you're right, whitewater is the coolest color - the pictures really don't compare to seeing it in person!

playdoh43 03-09-2006 12:02 AM

Imidazole 03-09-2006 12:18 AM

Just make sure she's warmed up before you give it a spirited go.

Nah.... white shows the lines off better on the 8, but Silver makes the 8 look like a bionic cheeta. :cylonA:

Which dealer in Chicago? You need to go check out the Midwest thread in the regional threads area and get on the RX-EVOLV email list administered by RedSheDevil.

You've made an excellent life decision.
As far as squealing brakes go, I wish I had left mine alone. It was a very minor problem that went away after a couple of stops, but since they've been "fixed" the noise is much more persistent. Hopefully it will disappear in time.

I love the white RX8's. I'm looking into trading my silver one in for one right now.
