RX8 stock towhooks
 
Im not sure if this was posted yet. But did you know that the rx8 has stock tow hooks in the trunk under the mat (2 of them). They go in the front bumper/grill part one on the left and one on the right. There is also a hole in the rear bumper for one to go also

Yep, this was covered bout 5 yrs ago when the RX-8 was released. Did you know, if you stare at the sun long enough you can burn your retinas? Why don't you try that...and get back with us.

If u would like I"ll take off the rx8 pic i got from u. I can't find any anime rx8 pics so u used yours.

no paperwork? That sucks! did you buy it from a dealership?

if you have a few minutes, check out www.mazdausa.com and register under the owner's section. (have your VIN # handy). You can download a PDF version of your owner's manual. That little guy comes in quite handy

Just to remind everyone that these are not designed to tow your car with....

Shaunv is right about the location of the hook / hole. However, it is NOT A TOW HOOK, it is a tie-down bolt. (there is also one at the back bumper).

PLEASE don't anyone try to un-stuck (if that's a word, lol) your car from snow/mud/sand by pulling on this hook. IT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH / or designed for this purpose.

Shaun, sorry for mildly crapping - my intent is only to inform :beer05:

^ No i'm serious I just found out I went to replace the rings cause it was using oil and i opened it up and found nothing of the sort...maybe it was just mine but idk...

Jedi54 12-18-2008 04:55 PM
You might have fried the over head cams. That sounds pretty serious 04RXman, might wanna have that looked at. ;)

04RX8man 12-18-2008 04:57 PM
yeah maybe that is it...idk i couldn't find the bolts to take off the heads so i just took a plasma cutter to the block and sound some triangular things in there i got scared and welded it back on and ran away!!!!
