Nice, congrats on the purchase.

ALot of guys are getting great HP gains from just a tune, seems to run rich just like the last model. Keep us updated with the mods you get as well.

Nice ride... +1 on the white... i've checked the evo out when my 8's in for maintenance service (dealer is a Mazda/Mitsu/Suzuki) ... i think they've improved the interior a lot... and the whole car looks a lot more agressive. Enjoy it!

...maybe you can use strakes from the 8 on it!

j/k...

Ah well, you now have a warranty

Give me a few days Jason. I have a couple goodies on the way to fix that problem

Its the 5 speed. The MR with the SST tranny isn't out yet. I do miss the 6th gear though.

Not sure yet. I bought some bolt ons that should put me in the 320whp range. I may get a tune in the next few months that would put me over 350whp, and hopefully get my freeway mileage in the 30mpg range. With bolt ons, the AFR is still between 9-10.

with the ugly looking 08 model you might be pissing yourself off while people laugh. hahaha im jk. everyones got their own taste.

i went to the dealer to test drive and get a trade in quote for the exact same thing moostafa. they were going to give it to me for 35k - 25k for the rx8. test drove it for ***** and giggles...... but it wasn't even funny how well this car performs stock.
