See complete list of all new RX-8 Series II 2009~ Mazda PART Number List (North American market) BELOW...this list does not include shared Series I (2004-2008) Mazda parts also used in Series II.

ASH8

Since being requested on more than one occasion about more precise details on Series II (S2) RX-8 Mazda Original Equipment Spare Parts and Part Numbers,
I decided to do screen prints from my EPC with ALL the S2 specific parts for the North American Series II RX-8.

All these Mazda Parts particularly in Engine (13B-MSP RENESIS II) have never been used in any other Mazda Rotary before the Model Year of 2009~ RX-8.

They are ONLY for the S2 RX-8, have never been used in 2004-2008 RX-8, 99% of the time the parts are not interchangeable to use in a Series 1 RX-8 as individual replacement parts...in some cases complete S2 assemblies will fit with little to no alterations on S1 RX-8’s, like complete Manual Transmissions, Differential Assembly, Wheel Rims, Seats and Trims..(NOT ENGINE).

These individual parts in many cases (like Engine and Transmission, Suspension, Cooling-Coolant and Cooling Oil, Lubrication, Electrical) were re-engineered to address short coming, component failure or reliability with Series 1.

This is normal Mazda practice to improve on parts which present a high volume of Warranty Claim issues or abnormal spare parts sales.

Most of the external/internal Body Spare Parts were changed as part of the face-lift from 2009MY.

As these are Mazda EPC list screen-shots (no other ‘easy’ way of collating such parts information), some Parts (Part Numbers) are repeated as they may be listed in more than one EPC picture (D-Code) location, however the actual location is shown for each and every line in SECTION NAME.

Shown in Alpha Numeric order for each page are the PART NUMBERs : D-Code : Part Name : Section # : Division : SECTION NAME.

I have tried to group in 2 sections:

Engine + Drive Train,
Body

Keep in mind again, these screen-shots are only the parts used in S2’s exclusively, the lists are not a complete listing of every single OEM parts used in S2's which are common use.

Many S1 parts are common for ALL series RX-8’s, like Steering Rack, Brakes and Rotors, Sun Roof, Hood Panels , Roof Panels, Steering Column, Door and other Body Panels, Air Filter, Exhaust Header, Fluid Bottles, some Lamps, Globes, Nuts, Bolts and Washers.

Apologies if I have confused some, I am just trying to dispel some of the rhetoric here which will contradict the physical part itself, contrary to some here the 2009 RX-8 had some of the most extensive parts changes applied to it which I have never experienced before.

Yep, someone may be able to get ‘a’ S2 part to fit in a Series 1 RX-8 with some minor or major modifications or alterations, this does not make that part one which I would call as an easy swap with no reliability risk, one example are the differences between S1 and S2 Water Pumps and how they install, and what changes and modifications are required to make it function.

Anyway...

Happy to help anyone if they have legit questions.

I can't believe they really replaced all that stuff! Especially when they are killing the car off next year. Plus, the price of the car never went up in 7 yrs of production.

WTBRotary!

^^^ This is what the Series I RX-8 should of been... no price hike because of the horrible rotary rep and makes they know this is what the first series 8 should have been....

ASH8

Normal practice for Mazda to update all "issues" in the next series of ANY model Mazda, same happened to MX-5, Mazda 2,3,6, CX-7 and 9..

Yes, there is obviously a production/research and tooling cost associated with all the changes, however, failing to address all the issues will cost Mazda (and any good car company) more, Not to make the changes.

As far as price variations, all Mazda's are made for the World market, not just the USA, and believe me there have been plenty of price hikes in Australia, UK and Europe over the life of the 8.

You guys in the US are very lucky you pay so little for Mazda's and the RX-8.

Well I have discover another little "secret" on the S2 models.
The undertray has a small lip spoiler on the front part. Anyone care to guess why it is there---I know but aint telling. And its damn smart of mazda to add it.
OD

plain ole wanker

Things that make you go hmmm?

jasonrxeight

did anyone notice S2's gearbox has a syncroed reverse?

ASH8

Yes..it has..

Underhood heat has always been a concern/ problem with our cars
S2 was faced having even more heat trapped in the engine bay as the oil pan area was now being covered etc. These additional covers would further impede engine bay airflow exit. So how to address this?
You add a small spoiler which causes a low pressure area under the car as airflow goes by. This helps to draw engine bay heat out! Sweet.
The GOOD THING ABOUT THIS is that it will also work on the S1 and should have even a better effect!

I seem to recall reading something from Racing Beat recommending something like this for the RX-8, and using the Corvette for comparison (as a car that has it).

Hey Olddragger ...

If it is in the pic I posted I cant see it, and I am not 100% sure these will fit S1 as the bumper design is slightly different...unless someone actually tries it, they LOOK the same, but I am guessing the front lip or shape "may' be different to S1.

And yes the Alloy Oil Pan Cover (expensive, $325) has grooves around it, but to me they just look like strengtheners for pan plate..??

The ones Under Oil Coolers were on S1, maybe not the first early ones made, like your S1?

Beefy98

1. they made the car uglier
2. they made oil changes harder
3. they made it so some aftermarket pieces won't fit. Even an oil cap from the earlier cards won't fit the S2.
4. they gave it new cheap, high-wear cloth upholstery
5. the clutch bracket is affixed with elmers glue. oops not a change.
6. they claimed the new car is 90 lbs lighter--an outright lie.
7. they changed enough pieces that the dealership mechanics won't possibly know about all of them and will screw things up.
8. they made the oil cooler openings even more susceptible to rocks
9. they added a steeper rear end which does nothing to improve the acceleration so why bother?
10. they added a trianguated strut bar in which the part attached to the firewall has all the rigidity of wet lunguine so why bother?

ASH8

1.In your opinion
2.No, you can Still DRAIN oil like S1, Oil Filter location is different, but at least ALL oil is now filtered, unlike all previous rotaries...where Oil can be by-passed (back in oil pan) before it goes near a filter.
3. A FoMoCo Ford Cap will now fit.
4. Did they?, my GT is all leather with no crapy hard plastic Front Seat Back like S1.
7. Mazda change parts for a reason to fix issues, like all their Models, go check out RX-7 Parts.
8. OOOh, Oil is cooled better.
9. Um, doesn't it...really I guess you know.
10. Firewall was also strengthened as was Front and Rear Strut Towers.
