Thumbs up Rotary Lover From Turkey

Hi everyone,

Bought my 2008 40th Anniversary like 10 months ago, and really proud of it. I love my baby really.

I am slowly tuning it, i started with the exterior atm. Now waiting for the BHR long tube to make it faster...

Happy to be here .

Hosgeldiniz kardes.
I lived in Izmir for 2 years & my wife is from Izmir.

The car looks great!
Red though?...you must be a Galatasaray fan. :p

Not to hijack your thread, but I am a huge Fenerbahce fan
This was in December vs Kayserispor:

I know the 2008 40th AE came in different colors and trim in different countries. In the US it came in Metropolitan Grey Mica exterior color and Cosmos red interior leather. Is your red the stock color for your 2008 AE RX8 in Turkey?

I did not know the 40th AE came with a red exterior.

As far as I know, the only options were metropolitan gray mica (with red or black/white interior depending on the country) or white with black/white in Japan I believe.

I guess you learn something new everyday.....

Mazda RX-8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In this wikipedia history of the RX8 they discuss the colors of the North American and foreign 2008 40th Anniversary editions and they do not mention any factory red 40th AE. Looks like this car was repainted or is not a 40th AE

All the other 40th years are grey here actually bıt there are 2 red ones maybe the mazda service speacialy painted them but i know that they are factory painted, and they are 40th year because it got billsteins etc.

It looks like you have the Mazdaspeed/AEM cold air intake. Am I correct ? I have one in my 40th Anniversary Edition and really like it.
