NZ New RX8 owner in Wellington, NZ

Hi everybody.

I have just purchased a 2003 Silver? RX8.
I was wondering how many other RX8's are around the Wellington area. I have been on the lookout for other 8s while driving around but as yet, I have not seen any.

Also, I notice that almost all information about 8's are from 2004 onwards. Is there somewhere that I can find info on a 2003, or does the problem arise from the 8 only being introduced to America in 2004, so most people don't know there are 2003 RX8's out there.

I bought my RX8 because I heard they were fun cars to own and drive. I was very much underestimating just how good these cars were until I bought one myself. I previously owned a Eunos (Mazda) Roadster(MX5(Miata)), but this car is much more fun than the MX5.

Welcome
The 2003 and 2004 models are the same .................

This site is the best for information but I suggest you join RX8 owners NZ on facebook if you want to catch up with local 8 owners .

Thanks for the Welcome guys.

I have already learned a lot about RX8s from this site.

My first experiment is to put a nav system, probably with an android tablet of some sort, into my non-nav RX8.

I have the system and I am just waiting for the dashboard surround so I don't have to cut my existing dashboard.

Hopefully have the nav part soldered and wired up by the weekend so I can try it out.
