Well like the title says, I don't personally own an RX8 but my step brother just picked up not too long ago and I have to say, IT IS A SICK CAR. Its an 04 black 6 speed with red inside. I really liked shifting at 9 grand lol.
Now I know im only 20 but I have been through my fair share of cars. I had an 03 RSX, 07 SI, 08 A4 and now my 07 Mustang GT. Yes I know im all all over the place with my car choices but I love the RX8 so i decided to join this forum to try and help out my bro a little.
Here is my early SI and the Audi,
Volk Racing Time Attacks:
Volk Racing GT-U's:
Her final days,
And now for some V8 power:
-Now I just got the Mustang so its still fairly stock but I have big plans for it.
On to the RX8. Its and 04 and not in too bad of a shape. Now my step brother is kinda car retarded so i helped him out a little by getting him a set of black 18 inch rims and some window tint.
and yellow fogs lol
Now here is one of the main reasons why I joined here on this forum. I changed out the coil packs, spark plugs and the wires for him last weekend and when I jacked up the car I found this...
Is that what you think it is? Yes it is a 19 MM wrench!
Now I have personally never seen anything like that before but I thought it was good enough to share with you guys.
Well thats my intro and hope you like what im working with! All comments welcome!

Hey easy there...im "car retarded" and i resent that remark hahaha j/k...i had a mod like that before cept it was a ratchet that fell while i was installing my hood...
You can take the 8 a part with 19mm, 17mm, 14mm and 10mm so that wrench will come in handy at some point

Welcome to the club Mr V8 Power, I'm VZero Power. :p
Nice cars, I'm really not a fan of mustangs though. In your opinion which has more straight line speed feel the RX-8 or A4? - Just curious.

I'm surprised a little. My friend has an A4 and when she floored it from 0-60 it felt slower than the RX-8, probably just drivers perspective vs. being passenger.
The A4 is rated at 6.8 (2007 2.0 A4 on 93 Octane) vs. RX-8 at 5.8 to 6.3 seconds depending on the site. So on paper, the RX-8 is faster but I think the torque is what makes the A4 feel faster.
I really liked the comfort and quietness of the ride though. Great car.
