Finished the rally with only 1 gear !!!! wonder which gear it was ......
Wow one gear, that really does suck. I'm guessing it's 3rd gear.

I really like the front headlights on this pre-09 rx. Can we swap those new ones out for the old ones? I thought it couldn't be done, but it seems as though it has been!! sweet.

More than just swapping out the headlights, Mazda Australia also replaced both 04 fenders into 09's which you have to do as they have a cut out that goes back to-wards the windscreen at a slightly different angle to the Series I RX-8 (2004 MY). And no Corner lights.

So you need to replace both front fenders, new side lamps, new headlights, etc.
