hey all, looking for a forum for my new toy =) and stumbled upon this one.

live in pottsville pa, im 30

and just scored myself a hell of a deal on a new leftover 2010 RX-8 R3 in velocity red. and so far i am in f'in heaven, so will probably have questions etc. i have always been a rotary fan. always loved Rx-7's used to love going for rides in my buddies 81 Rx-7 and just amazed at that 1.1 ltr engines performance, and have drooled over Rx-8's since they came out. and now

well now I OWN ONE.

first questions. any first things i should do? 250 miles on it atm. do i have to baby it for a certain amount of time. and know any cheap 16-17" rims i can throw some snowies on for winter time.

thanks all
lars

 

hopefully u can view these pics i got so far

It's a great source of info.

Check the stickies in each section as well.


Again, welcome and congrats.

 

thanks alot, i was not planning on a rx8, (even though i loved them never though i could easily afford on) but was looking at used mazda speed6's when i stumbled across this gem on the lot, its a 2010 left over 140 miles the manager told them to take a loss and just get rid of it they where tired of seeing it so all in all saved about 12k off sticker =) so i mean how could i refuse such an amazing car, and i dont think a smile has left my face since i signed the papers

 

and may that smile stretch your face for a long time

welcome to the addiction!

 

Nice ride man. Click the links in my signature and read, read, read.

 

congrats n welcome. were about the same age and not too far apart. lmk if you ever need a hand or want to go for a drive

 

Same here I live in Hamburg if you need any help let me know. I have me stock 18 if that's something you might want. And by the way is that one that was at Tom Masano.

 

nope i got mine in allentown at scotts. but nice to see there is a few 8 owners close =)

 

first let me say welcome to the club... and second if that's the red r3 from scott's i drove your car before it was your car lol. long story short last time i was in for my 60 k service and they just threw me the keys for it and told me to be back soon, kind of surprising that the dealership would just give a 20 year old keys for their nicest car... ps im jealous of your recaro seats o and also im in germansville about 15 mins away from allentown

 

yuppers, you drove mah new baby first, but shes my bitch now =)

 

Hey have you guys dealt with Scott a lot? I just bought my 8 from a dealership in Ardmore and wanted to know what you thought of their service. Since I'm in Allentown, and I would love to be able to take it to a place near by.
On a side note, Heeroguy, that's a sweet car. My gf and I went on a test driving spree and saw that one on the lot and it was love at first sight. Didn't get to drive that one, but sure as hell wanted to. It was one of the reasons I bought the 8

 

well my experience there was good, but all i have done so far is just bought the car. no service or anything yet, so i cant judge from that.

but yea of all the cars on the whole auto mile as we were looking it is the only one i had to stop and walk over too. then i had to have it lol

 

welcome,

btw when i read the title: 'Hi yall'...i heard it in Bruce's voice from family guy...lol

 

Welcome and very nice car. congrats on the buy and i hope to see some more pics of her.

 

Welcome to the club.

 

Fixed

 

Congratulations!

 

thanks all for the welcome, and welcome to the addiction about sums it up.

i have never dreamed i would own this car, i really feel like im in a TRUE sports car everyday, i cant find enough reasons to drive it anywere, i cannot find enough money to do everything i want now.

i am truly in love with my r3. and appreciate the forum and the welcome. just gotta find a good forum for my GF's mazdaspeed 3 now.

and pics we went out this sunday and took a whole bunch of our cars together so as soon as my GF is done photo chopping them ill post some up
