Maestro,
I that actually your 8?
If so I have a couple of questions.
Is the rear fog light LED or regular light bulb?
Under what conditions does the rear fog light turn on?
(low beams, front fog lights)
If you are friendly with the dealer, can you find out if the rear fog light can be ordered as a replacement part? ie. crash repair.
It would repair the fact that my USA model does not have one.
I would be interested in ordering one and paying to have it shipped to me.
Thanks, Ned in Daytona FL USA (Titanium Gray, Auto, Touring Pkg, Appearance Pkg, Rear Spoiler, FR Rotor accents)

Thats a Pre-Release concept car.
Our Car doesn't arrive till May, but the RX-7 is mine.
The concept was a reflector like the Mazda 6 is. We get the same as you guys.
Friendly with a dealer ?? I am one. I was bought on especially for the rotary programme.
UK specs get the foglights should be very easy to get. Will check with my UK contacts for you. They don't have any part numbers on the RX-8 yet though
But will post the email anyway

Thanks,
From my email from Mazda about two weeks ago, mine should be being built this week, with delivery sometime in May?
My dealer was able to get the Port-Added goodies added to my order this morning.
What about a shop manual? How do you recommend that I go about ordering one? Any idea what the cost should be?
One more question for now. How durable do you expect the exhaust system to be? Does Mazda aluminize the pipes and mufflers?
What was the experience on the RX-7?
The Exhaust system on my current 1990 Honda Accord still looks nearly new after 14 years.
Thanks again, Ned.

Mazda are all alloy.
Very good build quality especially Rotary Products.
Rx-8 is a new level the finishing on the car is second to none really. Especially the rotor head rests very trick !
Wait until you get them in the country ording things now will just get messy. Your part guys should sort you out with anything you need.
If all else fails use the net :D
