Just got an RX8

I've always wanted one and didn't exactly have the money to buy one but after coming home from Iraq I found a great deal on a 2004 8 with 27,000 miles

It's Nordic Green with leather interior. I love it. I'm 21 and from NY but stationed in Ft. Hood Anyone else in the area?

Nice purchase. Welcome to the club. Glad your back in the states. Remember to have fun in your 8. What kind of intake do you have on there?

I actually made it ... I wasn't exactly thrilled at the 300 dollar price tag on some of those intakes so I made it myself with parts from AutoZone. Works great and sounds great. I just need to make a box around the back of it so it breaths more cold air then warm air. The intake cost me 70 dollars.

hahaha I wanted one when they first came out. My first car was a 2000 Audi S4. I sold it before I joined the service thinking It would be a waste to pay for it and not drive it. Then realizing I was an idiot and didn't have a car I found a great deal on an 04 8 in perfect condition and couldn't pass

Congrats, welcome and you might want to keep on the stock intake setup for the time being because that one may actually be robbing you of some HP...
