Whats up guys...

So i bought a 2004 Titanium Grey RX8 GT about 2 months ago and i absolutely love it. I made an account at RX8Club but i never had the chance to get one here and say HI! So yea.. I've been lookin around the forum and i like it alot. I already took advantage of the DIY section and did the fog light mod on my car. Thanks for all the info on that, it was very easy.

If anyone wants to know im 18 and i live in the Bay Area. My previous car was a 1995 Honda Accord EX-R Coupe. I loved that car too and i miss it everyday but unfortunately it had its fair share of problems.

If anyone wants some pics of my car, feel free to ask but completely stock for now except for the XM radio that was installed by the original owner. Im the second owner and the car is immaculate. There isnt a scratch on it anywhere. I picked it up for 17Gs and it only had 24K miles on it so it was pretty much a steal. I heard some people complaining about the mileage and it is kinda low but i get about 17mpg and considering the i only got 20 in my accord i dont think its that bad.

Aight, Well just wanted to say "HI!" to everyone and im lookin forward to bein part of the RX8Club community.

I used to live in the Bay Area (Union City). Goes to car meets with my old car (97 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T). Now, living in Vegas and enjoying my 05 RX-8. It's a cool unique car that you don't see much often on the roads. Enjoy it, don't abuse it. Peace out.

P45R and Torque Rs are really nice for that price
i would go with P45Rs cuz Torques make you look like you couldnt afford work emotion cais
but yeah

recommend Rotas to people who just want the look and dont wanna hit the wallet too hard

!!

love the car again congrats!
