It's an '05?

Mazda historically only offered a yellow model for the first production year run. Rx-8 LY's were only offered for 2004.

Anyway,,, Nice to see another Ly and that's a good pic for a cell phone!

Mazda discontinued LY after the 04 model year. You can check by looking at the tag on the drivers side door jamb. It will tell the date your 8 was built. A black windshield washer tank is also a sign of an 2004 as is the info on your title.

Nice LY's..... I love that the '04 was the ONLY year of our color. I lost count of the many times I get asked if my car was painted a custom color... I giggle!

Guess I should add in my contribution.
Haven't taken any pics since I added the Mazdaspeed rear diffuser though.











And the rest of the pics.

On the 12th pic, I noticed the Mazdaspeed emblem above the RX-8 emblem. Your's isn't a Mazdaspeed RX-8 is it? I thought they never produced them. Or is it just badged?

Uhm... I guess it was a little bit fast... but I had a lot of help from the RX8 Club here in Malaysia (www.rx8clubmalaysia.com). Joining their gatherings kinda made me want to make sure that my car wasn't one of the few stock cars ...

Just got my INGS rears (diffuser?) and R-Magic eyelids yesterday. Sent them to the paintshop, and should fit them in soon. Will post pictures when it is done.

I see some of y'all have carbon fiber bonnets... dude those are sick! Wish I could have them, but my 8 is a daily drive and I don't think it would be appropriate to meet my clients....
