So i bought my 8 last summer and absolutely love it, however ive been digging and digging trying to figure out exactly what model i have. Its a 2006 with the red copper mica paint and the parchment cream interior, along with slightly different colored stock rims and some added factory chrome bits. I think its some sort of limited edition but has no shinka badges of any sort. What do you guys make of it?

 

cream interior? I want to say it is a shinka

 

Yeah i dont have a picture of my interior but its identical to this: http://www.mazdapits.com/images/rx8-...cture-1261.jpg

Tell you what though, my 8 looked better in the sun then on winter tires in the snow....

 

You have a Copper Red Mica Shinka that was only made in the 2006 year model IIRC.

 

^Correct.
That's such a beautiful color. CR and Stormy Blue are tied for 2nd!

Edit: Just saw your plates. Are you in Wpg now?

 

Im actually heading back to the peg tomorrow from ontario and i live in Shilo.
