Welcome but you should have got a VR.

 

^^ was my original plan but i couldnt pass this up
hey, atleast i got the two-tone redd and black :D

 

LOL congratz on the purchase! it's been what 2 years now?


but anyways, great timing for the purchase too eh? right when gas prices are hitting $1.50/L for premium fuels =.= have fun paying $80 gas per week or so x___X i can't even afford to drive my 8 as a DD now -_-

 

FML lol
i told him to fill me up with 94

 

Congratulations on your new addiction. Enjoy.

 

finally, congrats.respect the car and no it will not beat a G35, as the idiot driving the white R3 racing with the G35 found out on the allen near sheppard this morning .

 

siggggh there are only so many white R3's out there and that d-bag is giving my car a bad name

congrats FERA ! about time eh?? Enjoy her !

 

Congrats bro, about time. Come out to the local mississauga meets or the sherway gardens meet. Why did you get a car sent in from FLO RIDA ? lol

Good to know you took Rotary-RX8's advice!

 

Congrats! Hope to see ya around.

 

^^ thanks guys!
zoomname, im pretty sure i always see you on the road
i saw you at bathurst and elgin mills last week i believe? and on highway 7 lol was it you?

 

i will for sure come to the meets
rotary-rx8 is being a baby because i bought the same colour car as him
so once he grows up and realizes that its not a big deal well all hang out

 

Nice, welcome!

 

Yep, it was probably me at bathurst and elgin mills but I don't remember being on hwy 7 last week. Next time, be sure to wave

 

Congrad on getting one~

 

The more I look at your sig druggist... the more I KNOW I'm going to draw a mustache onto your taped up front at the track this year.

Damnit.. there needs to be a Tom Selleck smilie.

 

next time ill be in the 8 so youll notice me
i saw your car and i was like .......

 

Congrats...now you got to track her....lolz

 

haha well see man
going down to cayuga for sure though
although i cant keep up with my buddies camaros and stis but whatever im happy
cant wait to pick her up tommorow :D

 

got the car...
did 100 k today and im already at like almost half a tank...
what rpm is best to shift at, i did bang it a bit but i didnt expect this little gas mileage

 

Replace coils and plugs maybe if its that old with that few miles.... I get about the same cruising at 3000rpm as 2000rpm. As for shifting.... I sit in so much traffic that wehn I get open road the shifts don't happen down low...

 

Also a decarb will help. Get it done at mazda I think they do it for free cause its under warrenty. They did mine for free. I get about 370-400 kms per tank and that's shifting at 5000rpm.

 

it's not free.. it's a part of their testing procedures for certain issues though (one of the many steps along the way of seeing if you need a new engine).

But welcome to the club Fera. Plugs, Coils, Wires, complete fluid (brake, rad,etc) flush and you're good to go.

Mileage is more about what you drive then where you shift for normal driving. If you're on locals (or rush hour traffic), you're boned because of all the stop and go. Highway you can get some decent numbers out of the 8.

 

im pretty sure my plugs and coils are okay.
would my best bet be wasting this tank filling up another and seeing how much better i get?
if not decarb? how much do they charge for that

 

Where did you get this car from? Private or dealer?
