Leather with Orangeish tan color insirts"
18Rims
Heated seats.
electric seats..
Moon Roof that retracts.
sound system sounds great!
Cruse controle,
2 keyless entter pads.
when i got the car options were listed in key form:
AB,AC,EW,CC,EL,D,AD,FOBS,MN

Sounds like a GT. How much and how many miles?

well your in Canada so there are/were only 2 trim choices - GS with Cloth and GT with Leather. So you have a 2004 GT in Titanium Gray exterior w/ Black and Chaparral interior

wonder if anyone could shed light on my trim level:
2004 Titanium Grey
Factory rear wing
Cloth seats non power blk/dk grey
6spd manual
no nav
power sunroof/moonroof

Bose on the tweeters and looks like a silver amp hanging between the rear speakers w/ single cd player

thanks

sounds like a touring to me. my 07 touring is the same but has nav, and thats an option on all trim levels.

Sounds like atouring to me also

OP= GT
newguy=Touring

I Dont Know He Doesnt Have Navigation ....tire Pressure Monitor System>>??sport Suspension ??? It Does However Sound Like A Gt.//== I Have Navi Tpms Everything...all Black Leather Interior.....

navi is optional on all trim levels in the states

it also has six disc changer, and bose sound system

yes I have tire presssure monitoring and ASC as well, but NO 6 disc changer but the Bose system. Touring, thanks for the info

how can you find out what rx8 do you have

usa and canada very different.

look for you head light washers and you will understand..

beers :beer:

From the pic, your 8 is the base trim.

All Mazdas have generally the same trim levels:

Sport
Touring
Grand Touring

Grand Touring is the highest and has the most options, on the RX-8 you get fog lamps with the GT, optional Nav, leather, dimming rear-view mirror, and some other goodies. You probably have a Touring or a Sport.

whats the base line come with, because mine came with all the extras but the bose,sunroof nav,

do you have fog lights?

Guess I'm lucky since my 8 came with the original window sticker. :)

Look at his sig. ;)

I dont see any which would lead me to believe he has a sport, but he has a moon roof. I didnt think Sport came with a moon roof

base = no dsc is the telling feature, not sure if foglights are an option on this or not
Sport model = has dsc but no moonroof, definately can have foglights (I have one)
touring = moonroof and optional bose
gt = leather seats

i also have the factory fog lights , auto dimming rearview mirror and the homelink garage door opener, and dsc a well.

yep - touring. if you had leather and heated seats it would be GT. cloth with a moonroof is the key to knowing if it's touring.

how can you tell if you have dsc

Quickest way to find out is to try and power slide a corner. If your power cuts out and your slide stops you have DSC. Or you could always look for the switch to the left of the column next to the interior light adjustment switch.

I wonder what mine is...keep in mind, im in canada

04 VR 6mt
cloth interior
fog lights
6 disc in dash
says bose on the tweaters, but not on the door speakers like ive seen
No DSC
No sunroof
No spoiler
And I was also wondering, it has the little plastic cap things under the headlights, like it has some sort of headlight washer,but i cant for the life of me figure out how to work them, or if those are just there on every model. (i would look in the owners manual, but i dont have one...joys of buying a used car).

I was originally under the impression that its a GS because of the cloth interior and no sunroof, but now i dont know...

Greg

ok this is what i found out, if you have a MT 6 speed with 18s you have the sport, the base model is the AT with 16s

no,

it depends on the year..

if you have a mt you have 18" wheels. done..

if you have a mt and no fog lights you have a base.

a sport adds fogs dsc and zenons.. this is related to a 04 or 05. it gets fuzzy after that..

beers :beer:

Can you have a sport with leather and a sunroof? Or does that then become a GT?

TC, I have a '04 Sport Model.

nope,

sport has cloth seats and no sunroof..

beers :beer:

Uh? I don't see any moon roof.. :dunno:

sports had the option of a moonroof.

newguy has a 2004. in 2004 the trim levels were called base, sport, grand touring. he has a sport.

Ok guys, please help me on this.. Just to make sure ..

My RX8 has

Sunroof
Bose system
Heated seats
Power driver seat
Leather red/black seats
Foglights
OEM HIDs
Tint

No Navi or Spolier ..

Thanks

a slower one then base model,

Are you being funny ?

OK, you folks now have me curious what exactly I bought...

2004 Lightning Yellow
6-speed manual
NO sunroof
NO DSC button
TPMS
Strakes, curved spoiler, different front splitter. (see avatar)
Color-coordinated spare tire kit (?)

I'd been assuming a base model with appearance package.

Anyone ??

yes, it is the base.

beers :beer:

gt.

beers :beer:

you forgot touring. 2004 was sport touring and grand touring

I was under the impression that the sport did NOT option a sunroof. (Hence why its the lightest model). If it has a sunroof then its a touring. Leather is a GT.

To me everyone is making this way more complicated than it is lol.

Hm, I was on Edmunds right now, and it said for 2004, there is only 1 trim ..

That is completely wrong, there was base, sport, touring, and grand touring. Each of which offered in auto or manual. Screw Edmunds.

Hey Greg.

First, Headlight washers:

Pull the wiper stalk TWICE quickly to manually spray. And, every fifth time you use the window washer they will automatically spray.

Second, Owner's manual:

Here's a 2004 manual: CLICK HERE

Enjoy your 'new' car!!

Headlight washers? I was thinking your 8 was base/sport but.. I don't think it has bose.. I'm guessing the owner before you added the fogs and 6 disc changer afterwards. Or something..
btw, spoiler, and the appearance package is an option on every model.

If that is true, the dealer is an idiot

They had a silver and a black one there
Silver looked completely stock
Black had some body kit and stuff on there ..

He said the Silver is Touring, and black was GT ..

I guess he thought the black was the GT because it had a body kit .. ???

But anyways .. I got the silver one

thanks I must have the touring since I do have sunroof. Im not sure but for ref I have:

fogs / HIDs
dsc
sunroof
rear wing
cloth seats
no nav
Bose single cd
Auto dim mirror w/homelink garage door opener
