New to Me 2004 Brilliant Black RX-8
Recently bought my very own 2004 Grand Touring, I think, RX-8, which I have been drooling over for the past two years. She has 79k miles on her, although a non-remanufactured engine, and is showing very good compression according to the test results from the Mazda dealership when I got her. Always serviced at the dealer, although I'm not a fan of stealerships doing my service on the Mazda 3 in my family, but at least it lets me know the repair history of my 8. I have already done the BHR ignition kit; old coils, plugs, and wires were fine, but I wanted to prevent having to replace them later on. Came with 18 inch Rota wheels on it, and some pretty nice Michellin and Falken tires, I will replace both someday since I am not a fan of the wheels. The car has its quirks, few dents and scratches, but they are not horrendous enough that I can't live with them for the time being, and one day when I can afford, will all be fixed with a new paint job. She drives amazingly well, and like no other small car, displacement wise, that I have driven before; made me very happy I picked this over a Miata or Speed3, although I still want my Miata. Soon to come is engine mounts, short shifter, clutch/flywheel, and hopefully this year Tein EDFC coilovers. I also need some type of seat cover for the rear seat, and passenger seat, I often take my loyal companion, a blue heeler, with me everywhere, but he has not been allowed in this vehicle yet because I worry he will puncture the leather. Any one have some suggestions?
