Hello all...I just sold off my '94 Lexus LS400 and picked up a new RX-8, titanium grey with pretty much damn near everything. Ironic, I just read that two other people got the same color car in the last day or so on this board. My only regret is not getting a in dash 6 CD changer, but oh well. So far, I drove 90 miles in a day while spending a quarter tank. Loving it!

6sp, of course...althought it's curious that the AT has more torque and less hp, I wonder how it drives.

Nice!!!:D

You know what's funny, Titanium seems to be a popular color on the message boards but the only ones I see running around in Chicago are Red.


Any plans for mods? Tint? Strakes? (not that the RX needs it
)

Welcome. Clear Conners and starkes on Tit look great. IMO thats all it needs.

90 miles in a quarter tank, man your babying it, remember you gotta drive it like you stole it, after you break it in of course. Congratulations on your ride and welcome to the club.

I actually thought that Titanium is the kind of dark dark grey like on the 6, that would be the best. As of now I have 35% tints, I want to see if I can finagle a 6disc out of my dealer. Already got lifetime oil change and free tints.

Congrats on the purchase. Nice color choice too. Clear corners would really set it off.

it looks like the car you parked next to is jealous, and wants to buy an RX-8 as well.. as soon as he saw your new Mazda, he put his car up for sale also :p

Haha that's my car as well, the one for sale. I'm moving from Lexus to the RX-8, and it hasn't been smooth for my a$$ on Michigan's potholes. The Lex glides over those...

Welcome.. and where did you get your car at?

I noticed your rear end license plate frame.. it says... "**** Imports".. is that correct? Or just my perverted mind and twisting the word Cook?
