WHAT IS THE FIRST COUPLE OF THINGS TO DO TO MY RX-8?

 

First is to not type in all caps. Makes you look like you are screaming your point out... and just a plain jerk to do it.

 

you should do this

 

Drive it, drive it, and drive it.... mods can wait....

 

read the owners manual.

If you have not already done so:

- Read the owner's manual from cover-to- cover as previously suggested. You can download a PDF version from MazdaUsa.com for easy searching.

- Become familiar with checking all the fluids and tire pressure. Get familiar with the location of jack, tools, and tire repair kit in the trunk.

- Aquire some 5W-20 motor oil - I use Castrol (I'm not saying its the best or not to use anything else) and it can be found in many auto parts places and also at Wal-Mart.

I would buy CZ's ECU upgrade.

 

Hey 8, your post is awesome - LOL.

 

uhhh the first things i did was tint and clear out the sidemarker... and get stealth bulbs... those are small, sorta cheap very effective mods that change your cars look without TOTALLY changing your cars look... sorry if you cant understand me haha

 

The oil-cooler openings and lower air intake opening offer no protection against debris. Users have reported puncture of the A/C condenser from stones.
Here is a thread which has solutions from various members.

 

It all depends on what you are going for! Absolutely though read the owners manual. It teaches you alot about the car, important things! If your looking for something to just add a lil more style, clear corners, fender strakes, and rotor accents are the way to go, but beware cause nothing is cheap. Happy Modding!

 

take pictures of it....

i remember i took a load of pix before i even drove the car home...

have a friend record some mpeg videos of yourself driving an 8...
better yet, pretend you're doing a review of the car for a car magazine while you cruise around... then upload it and post up a link so other people can envy you :p
