RX-8 First week!
 
Bought this beauty last weekend, added strakes already (not pictured) got the matching blue ones. Clear corners are on order, should have them Monday, traded in my 2004 Jetta GLI....don't miss it a bit! New pics when clears are added.

They had aftermarket Enki wheels/tires on it originally, drove it for the weekend with them, they were 100x better than the stocks. Can't wait for the stocks to wear out, only major complaint I have so far. Well, and that the radio button that controls fade/bass/treble/balance does not work. And it will take 2 trips to fix, one to get the radio code and order new head unit, then a second to install new said unit.

And yes its a MT, drove the slow matic....no freakin way! :ylsuper:

Nice ride, congrats on the purchase.

Thanks everyone.........

Tint was on it, its an 05 with 5k on it, demo model. They had 6 to choose from, 5 were white AT's..........just loved the blue though and its MT!

Here is what it looked like with the aftermarket wheels on it, I like the stock much better, too bad the tires suck though. Other wheels had Yoko runflats, lot mor grip!

Stocks better???? Get a picture of it with the blue strakes soon, hopefully have my clear corners Monday. Now if I can only keep the tach under 8k I might get 200 miles a tank. :evil_laug

that is nice! Get a mazdaspeed body kit and you will be the talk of the town :)

Nice BTTurbo, I picked up my 8 this week and am loving it... couldn't get my hands on winning blue though, they only had an 05 6spd in Sunlight Silver so that was my choice LOL... There was a WB auto at the deealer that folks were salivating over.
