Greetings!
After 3 days of reading these forums I decided to purchase my first RX-8, a 2004. I have owned it for just under a week now. It needs a little TLC, mostly exterior cosmetics as it appears that it spun and ended up off road. Has a tear in the front bumper cover, right front fender dented (both should be easy repairs), dented the rocker under the driver door, may be a bit more work but repairable. So far I have repaired the "no heat" issue, replaced rear struts, had the rear tires replaced and picked up the tune up parts (tomorrows project) also need to repair the driver door amplifier. Had the alignment checked, all good there. I probably should have gotten the compression checked but for the price I can afford to replace the engine or rebuild if needed. It has 99,600 miles on it and runs great, plenty of power. Found on further inspection it has the Agency Power full exhaust on it and a K&N drop in filter. This is the most fun car I have EVER driven and look forward to many years with it and with the help of these forums I expect that I can achieve that.
Thanks to everyone for the DIY's and your future input on any questions or advice I may have.

Welcome to the club! It already sounds that you spend lots of time with the car and that you enjoy it!

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks! Pics are posted in the picture/multimedia section. Didn't have the patience to wait to do the tune up, Improved the performance greatly. I do love this car and enjoy working on it. I wish I had purchased one years ago.

 

Just update the other thread since it's the one with pics. Might want to delete this one.
