Very nice, congratulations. Mine is exactly the same color as yours with the RS body kit, but it's Japan spec so I have the 18 inch wheels instead of the 19. Will try and post pics when I can find some time.

Either way, congratulations and enjoy. I have been waiting to get an Rx8 for 5 years, and now that I have picked one up, I can tell you it is well worth it, there is no other car that drives like it, looks like it, and most importantly, feels like it.

Oh and by the way, for accessories, the best place you can look at for now is the RX8 Japan website: www.rx-8.mazda.co.jp

You can download the accessories brochure and have a look. I know it's all in Japanese, but it's pretty well illustrated and I think you should be able to figure out what is what.

car looks awesome, totally not digging how the new front emblem is placed in the 09's fron bumper though, looks like it has a ring around it which means shaving it off is going to be a pita now.

My only complaint about the car which I learned today from the DVD that came with it is that you have to let the car warm up for 5 mins before you shut it off to avoid "flooding". Kind of unusual, but this it my first car with a rotary motor so I guess I can expect new things ahead as well. Aside from the poor mileage it gets and having to use 91+ gas it seems like a great car. Feels very responsive at high speed on the highway and solid around turns. I will need to drive it a bit more before I can compare it with my past 2005 350Z. :)

ive never flooded my 07, and i dont let it warm up or anything, do you live somewhere cold though?
i live in the south, a cold start isnt really ever possible lol

and please do define poor mileage, what are you seeing in your first few tanks?
ive been getting 19-20 steady with mixed hwy and city, pure hwy i get around 25, and i drive hard and fast - i use vpower

KrazieKave 08-23-2008 06:36 PM

Rx8_J-Dub 08-26-2008 01:08 PM

The new ones are nice. I just hate how they did the front and rear bumpers. But I love the new seats lol

ssspeedfreak 08-28-2008 10:21 PM

I love those seats and hope to find some up some were for sale.... mmmmm

sleeperx8 08-29-2008 03:10 PM

<sigh> i want the seats too.. they fit like a glove.

but what i really want are the wheels... hopefully i can find them for cheap used somewhere soon...

joe-jitsu 08-29-2008 03:49 PM

I like the sideskirts, I wonder if they would fit the older cars and if they are cheaper than the Mazdaspeed ones.
