Looks very clean!! Congrats

Very bright. And the nav screen is so bright the cars following have no trouble using it either:D

Ha Ha, yeah I saw that one...those guys are funny! They are always two sec's from getting hurt...LOL

CONGRATS dmp!!!!! Enjoy...one day I'll be like you guys I hope....I HOPE!!!

Yeah but... the RX-8 has more oversteer than the Miata. Its very easy for the back to snap around pretty unexpected whether intentional or not. Especially in the rain.

...not more oversteer than 'my' miata :D I've plenty of road/track experience in very quick-handling machines.

hehe :)

Thanks to RacingBeat. I'll play it cool, though, until I learn the car. I can't have me wadding my pretty new car.

Thanks!

wow! Lots of moving threads...lol Guess "I got an RX8" isn't general discussion, but 'media' if it includes pics :)

:D

Happy 1 year anniversary to me!

:D

14,5xx miles...

I keep the headlights on for daytime "running lights" (why hasn't anyone but GM picked up on this safety feature?) so I'm constantly switching the white display off and on. I'm sure glad that Mazda gave us the option.

Looks good, congrats

Looks nice

Happy TWO YEAR anniversary to me! I'd post up a Pic, but the car's at the dealers' getting it's F'ING ENGINE replaced :(

:-/

:)

Darin without a pic of his car! That's a sadder note than your 8 getting a new engine. Surely you can pull up an old pic?

Everybody's seen all my old rx8 pics. :( hehe ;)

ooh 2 years old gogogogo

Five years later - Car has 58k miles and runs fine.

Replaced:

Engine
Transmission
Coils
Wires
Cat (twice)
Plugs (twice)
Battery
Starter
Clutch

Modified: TEIN Basics coil overs, Black RPF1s, MS Flywheel, RB Intake and Exhaust, leather interior swap

Car drives better today than day one - probably makes about the same amount of HP, but it just feels better. Every time I think about selling it I look at it for 5 seconds and think "there's nothing that looks this good or drives this well for less than $40-50k".

^ yup absolutely NOTHING ... great looking car bro

Can it be EIGHT YEARS since I got my car? Easily the car I've owned the longest. The car is driven nearly daily now - shows 88030 miles. Still absolutely LOVE it.

Glad you still have it! ;)

Damn! That's love. I got mine for 5 yrs and keep planning on staying with her. :ylsuper:

Good choice of color! Surprised you haven't FI'd yet.

Awesome to hear you still love it! What are the specs on the rpf1s and tires?

Me too!

Me too - I avoid winter driving to avoid salt; can't imagine seeing it rusting away.

FI? Naw...I value the car's reliability more than I'd want another 50whp or whatever. As-is I could flog the car for hours on end at the track and drive it home w/o a worry. Adding FI would remove that comfort. Would rather have the car w/ it's original 215hp at the crank, for 15 years, than have 285hp for 15 months.

Thanks - 18x9.5, 35 offset. Tires - in that pic - advan ad07 (if I recall), 265/30/18. Now use Conti DWS - which absolutely SUCK in snow (tried it in our frist 1" snowfall last week) after driving on them all spring and summer for the past year or so.

I've had the car 8 1/2 yrs now. It has been daily driven until recently. I now have a Jeep Cherokee which will do all the winter duty. The 8 is rusting out in the right rear fender and I need to change out some of the suspension pieces, due to corrosion, so I can do an alignment.

Still have the car....it's in storage in NY while i'm overseas...will be 13 years in a few months
