Hey, new driver, long time lurker, I was lucky enough to obtain a manual 2004 Rx-8 Gran Touring as my first car. I am a mature 18 year old male and I payed half of the $10k price tag on this baby outside Atlanta from a used car dealer. She has 56k miles on her and is stock from as far as I can tell. I'm in the Atlanta, Georgia area if any other 8 owners want to meet up and such. So, being used, why not have some problems to list off?

• A/C quits cooling about 3 weeks after filling (leak probably)
• Passenger side door does not lock unless I manually hit the tab, I hear the click but the lock tab stays in place
• Minor/moderate damage to front passenger side bumper, obviously scraped and hit something, the quarter panel is a little off but no dents thankfully. I can live with it for now, may touch up the scratches.

Some pics for your viewing pleasure!

Warning, Large images so I'll just link.

I look forward to learning all I can know about the 8! I am glad there is such a vivid community here!

Welcome.
If you have not done so already, read the new owner stickies.
Nice 8.
I'm not a strake fan, fwiw.

Yeah, I haven't decided if I am keeping them or not, they are relatively easy to remove yourself, right?

Welcome

I suggest going through both threads in my signature...

Also, there is a Georgia RX 8 club... They have their own forum. Several good folks in your area.

Haha thanks, I've already read both of those forums several times, and thanks for the info about GA Rx8 club!
