Rx8 running... cold?
 

Hey, just got my 06 AT with 23k miles about a week ago, love the hell out of the car so far. Just wondering, when I drive my 8, it never goes to halfway in the temp range. It goes to right around where the temp gauge is on this car:

Is this normal? Should I be worried that its not at "full operating temp" or is that what they normally operate at?

silly kid...youre fine :yesnod:

dozer is correct sir

Alright, was just wondering. Also, do non tape player equipped cars come with the tape button, instead of a blackout switch? Because I can't seem to find my tape player anywhere (never got a complete list of options that are on the car from the dealer) and still have the button.

ya, i have that and sat radio buttom neither of which i have... they jsut do nothing when you click them.

Thought so. I wanted to buy a tape/aux device (one that looks like a tape and fits into a tape slot, but plugs into an mp3 player to play your music on the car's speakers), but I guess I'm outta luck. Looks like the only way to get aux input on these cars is with that aux-in kit on the forums or some demonic cd player hack/solder that I saw one some sites, huh?

lol you could always use a wireless transmitter from your ipod to radio, sometimes the sound quality is iffy though.

Argh I never thought of that haha. Picking one up tomorrow it seems. That is assuming it doesn't sound like all my music has been recorded in 8-bit, but we'll see. Thanks for making me feel dumb haha

That's normal. When I just got my car it took me a couple hours to find out it didn't have a 6 cd changer lol cuz my load button wouldn't do nothing haha

haha no prob ;)

if you ever see the temp gauge point to all the way HOT you better shut your car down immediately.

Haha yeah, I know. Just figured something might be up if its running a tad cold.

Normal
No worries Man.....

Anytime the gauge goes further then that point you are running 230f+, and you need to immediately stop what yer doing.
