RX-8 Newbie!

Hey there! I've been navigating the RX8CLUB.COM site for a couple weeks now as a visitor, Im happy to join now after I just purchased my first rx-8!! Ive always been a big fan of the rx-7's, theyre still an amazing machine, but couldnt be happier or more excited about my 2004 touring rx-8. Its all leather, 18,000 miles on it, and in great shape. Figured Id add some pictures, and hope to show some gradual mods in the near future!

thanks guys! yea, it feels like an 08! it was driven by one owner, never saw the winters apperently. got for under 17, but decided to get the extended warranty which was a lil extra. im very pleased. im already thinking about some springs or coilovers, been reading what people have wrote. also thinking about going with a set of 19's as well! hope to make some progress at least by spring time!!

My '04 just reached 31K. I thought I had low miles.

Of course, at 30K Mazda replaced the engine, so I guess low miles didn't do squat for me.
