Finally Got my 8
Hi guys
I've been looking throughout this forum for year dreaming of getting an Rx8 and i finally did.
its a 2008 40th. 59000 miles. it came with a ken wood stereo. pretty sure you guys know the rest.
i will be modding it slow and steady but for now i have a few questions.
when im shifting from 1 to 2 and im going over 20 or so (around 4000 rpm) my gear will grind what can i do to fix this ?? only happens with that gear
is there a way to make the display on top of the stereo work with this aftermarket stereo ??
there's a whistle noise the comes on from time to time but its not the belt and i cant figure it out ??
this is my first car so take it easy on me

For the aftermarket deck
buy a Metra kit if you really want the display working.
if u had a Metra kit it would display at the top still and u can customize what it says.
In your journeys to come this forum will have every answer
Cheers congrats.
PS. If you dont know the condition of the ignition system change it asap
