New RX8 owner

Hey folks,

I am new to RX8 ownership. Just picked up a 2004/05 Model RX8 the other week from Brighton Mazda. They seem like pretty good people there and i was really happy with service I got. Apparently they also have a rotary specialist mechanic on site in their service dept which was a big plus as well.

My new baby came in Titanium Grey with 60k on the clock. I've just upgraded from an ES Lancer so needless to say I have been blown away with the RX8. Boy, that thing goes!!!

I work as an illustrator,concept artist for a toy company here in Melbourne and decided to put my skills to work on "Ripley" as I have dubbed her (named after the Aliens character that also kicks serious *ss!)
Here's my rendition. Hope you like!

Welcome redfrog. Hope you continue to enjoy the car. Lots to read on here to get you up to speed with tips and traps.

Fun pic...but is that tyre smoke or has the renesis just shat itself?

Welcome redfrog,

Just letting you know ... there are rotary specialists around that will charge a lot less than the Dealership.

Enjoy your stay.

Revolver - Thanks for the welcome. This seems like a pretty awesome site. Great wealth of info here. Oh, and yeah i'd like to think that thats just tyre smoke and not an implosion from a 7500rpm clutch dump..heheh

Cromax - Thanks! Are there any rotary specialists in the Melbourne area that you can recommend?

thisllub - thanks! Ripley the cat , eh! Probably pretty apt. The RX8 purrs like a kitten too!
