I had an '04 and loved it! check out www.rx8club.com. good folks and lots of good info.... remember, always have a quart of 5W-30 in the trunk.... the harder you push it the more it eats oil (on purpose though).

Nice. I love the way they look, especially lowered. The turbo RX-7's might be my favorite import. If they boosted the 8's from the factory I probably would've bought one instead of my Audi.

When I worked at the Mazda dealer I would often grab a RX8 and take an "extended lunch break" They make for a great driving experience!!! In spite of the 0-60 numbers, I think they feel faster than they actually are.
Good choice for a rally car, being that they are roomy, comfortable and quick. The silver color will prevent unwanted attention. They are a bit hard on gas, but so are most sports cars.
Enjoy it!

Excellent!
Try MazdaSpeed for the intake or a good ol' K&N FIPK.
I sent the e-mail to avantiracing08@yahoo.com but speeled it wrong. Check again... also check spam box...

Again, for some good RX8 things, I would recomend the 2 following places
1. RX7.com I am good friends with Ari and Chris there 2. Pettitracing.com 3. Mazdatrix.com
There are others, but Ari and them have always treated me right etc.
