Do they all come with the beige interior?

 

Yep, all the Black-Cherry's have beige interiors.

 

Wish the leather on the seats and the inside door panels was black instead of beige. Does everybody have black carpeting like mine does?

 

aye, black carpet is part of the deal.

I think the complementary light and dark play off each other splendidly.

 

Indeed. The Parchment leather seats were the unique 'grand touring' touch I was looking for, along with the BCM paint. Oh, and the Tokico suspension.

 

2005 Shinka's were/are the cream of the Crop !

 

had mine since august...
about time for a picture!
p.s. sorry for the horrible picture..did it off a phone, I'm hoping to put better ones up soon

 

Well on Friday I took the plunge and bought my rx8 -- been wanting one for 2 years. I bought a black cherry 2005 Shinka and traveled 1200 miles to get it haha, but it was worth every second. I'll post some pics after my parts that I ordered show up and I have them installed.

 

Here's mine... bought a few months ago:

 

Our color is the best of them all, and every day I think damnit I have the best f*#king car on the planet

 

Just yesterday on the way home I got behind a shiny black panel truck at a stoplight which nicely reflected the front end and I remarked to myself 'damn this is a good lookin' machine.'

 

Hey BigMikeATL - I think I saw your Shinka Yesterday (Aug10th) parked in front of Total Wine. Your car looks great! Congrats. Not many Shinka's in the Atlanta area.

 

bitchen!!!!

 

man the black cherry is a sexy color

 

Yep, that was me.

 

Here is an updated picture on my baby. I find myself when driving past the outlets in a dead stare in the stores glass everytime I go by. Love the car, love the color, even though mine seems to be a little darker then the rest.

 

Oh, and by the way, nice cars everyone.

 

Heres a few pictures of my Shinka, I just bought it 1 week ago. It was completely stock - I added clear corners, strakes, and the aluminum grills.

 

^congratulations on buying the best RX8^
of course, I'm totally biased.....

 

Yeah haha, Out of all the rx8's the black cherry and the white were my favorite colors. I got some plans underway to make those grills look less lonely :O.. I'll have to have some custom parts made for the plan tho - good thing my friend is a machinist

 

I wanted to post up the latest pictures of my Shinka, now that she is turbocharged, methanol injected, with new wheels, tires, brakes, brake lines, rotors, and exhaust. I finally have the car how I envisioned it when I started making mods.





If there are other turbocharged Shinka's can you re-post your pictures or link me your album. I'm really curious if there are any other turbocharged '05 Shinkas.

 

I wish you had your car when we had the kent island meet, would of loved to see it in person.

 

Yeah I really wish I had it then too, but its alright... it would have sucked driving a turbocharged 6spd in bridge traffic. I'll have it out at a meet soon though. I won't be at the PA one, but probably the meet after that.

 

so this morning i take the ocho in to the dealer to have them give it a once over since i bought it used and the service writer asks me if the color name is "burgundy" LOL......

then he asks me if i want the complimentary car wash ....uh it's mica paint, is that a hand wash deal? he says no....then i have to tell him that we can't do a machine wash on it.

do they know anything about these cars?????

 

Actually, the salesfolk at my dealership are always impressed by the BCMica paint, but I typically have to remind them of the color name (and that's with an '09 Mazda6 in somewhat similar black cherry metallic on their showroom floor).
