Any Requests

1st I would like to thank all the RX8 club members for supporting our dealership! Over the last few months we have been getting lots of request and parts/service sales from the club which is fantastic. My only request is if you wish to contact me, please email me directly instead of PM's through this site. I try and check daily but sometimes thats not feasable. My direct email is alan@scarboromazda.ca
That will speed up response times for you guys especially if we are dealing with Mazdaspeed stuff that is going out of production, where Mazda only has one or two pieces left.

Politically I cant quote you on the forum stating my prices will be lower. I can strongly suggest that you contact me directly with any requests.

Guys read my post! Certain Mazdaspeed accessories and colors will go or are out of production because of the model change etc. We all know, especially Thief, that yellow body parts are no longer available. If your car is a color that hasnt been produced for few years, Mazda probably will not build any more in that color. The same will go for things that wont fit a 2009. DONT PANIC the world isnt coming to an end! lol

PS: those of you who have discontinued colors, you can always buy silver parts and have them painted. Silver paint is the easiest to paint over, its almost like a primer.

If you call me I can tell you how many are showing available in North America. I dont know if they will continue to make the old nose if it doesnt fit the 09 and newer models, my guess is that they would not. Im sure the exhaust fits all years and would be readily available.

Shitty deal!

Al question - why not the Sportline Spring Set? and seriously that is all the suspension work that should/needs to be done? Why are ppl wasting time and money with so many other set ups?

If someone bought them off you and wanted to swap back for winter to OEM, would you give them a deal on the swaps? I just need/want my car higher for winter driving, hate snowplowing. Thx!

Most people like to spend money for the sake of spending it (lol) or have "read on the internet or a magazine" that its all is necessary. I can go into a long speel about suspension geometry etc, but if you want to talk about it call me directly and I can go through it with you. The Sportline springs are just too much of a drop to keep the geometry anywhere near the correct settings. Its the labor involved in swapping springs and re-alignment each time you do it. At about $180.00 each time that gets real expensive real quick , not to mention the cost of an alignment each time.

Thx Al!! I had the pro kit on my old car and liked the drop and ride, would imagine it's much better on the 8. I'm surprised you don't recommend a different shock setup, even to tighten it up for the track. I like the fact you don't have to do alignment or a camber kit with the pro kit. It's more for next year/summer, but since you mentioned it thought I would ask! I'm sure I will be talking to you more about it then. The price is definitely a plus

I didn't say that you didn't have to do an alignment after lowering the car. After any suspension change you will have to do an alignment. FYI: with an RX-8 it is a good idea to do a yearly wheel alignment, especially if you drive it in the winter!
