RX8 newbie....

living in Japan and just bought a 2004 RX8. See below.. I dont know what I dont know as this is my first ever Mazda! Saw the thread on the gas, and just so everyone is aware, premium here in Japan is roughly 153 per liter which equates too $5.83 per gallon. spent nearly Y7,000 to fill it up....

also, the interior of my 8 has the emblem Razo on the console near the shifter. anything special?

Welcome! Looks clean. Read up on care and maintenance of the engine, there is a thread titled New and Potential Owners.

Razo is an aftermarket parts company.

Looks clean minus those horrid wheels. We have a local guy In Japan with a full MS Kitted Stormy Blue RX-8 as well.

I'm new to the site & don't know how it all works. I got a 2009 Rx8 last fall & joined the site last month. I wanted to get some info/advice & tried to start a "thread". I got this message:
malmat, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
  1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
I tried sending a message to the administrator (twice - 10 days ago) but other than the auto reply welcoming me as a new member, I haven't got any response. Any suggestions?
My apologies for misusing the "reply" feature to ask for help but I can't find any other way to contact anyone.
Any help out there will be much appreciated.Thanks, MM

Nice JDM!

Agree with 9k here, those chrome wheels are pretty gross.

You can only post in New Member section until you have registered for 30 days and you have posted 10 posts.

Meanwhile, make sure you read through the new owner sticky.

9k, i bought the car with those wheels and dont mind them. Being Military and stationed here in Sasebo aftermarket shops are not as popular as in the states. very clean car for a 04!

9k is our resident curmudgeon.
They're not bad, better than the black ones so many people have.
I like 5 spokes.

This is one of the few times I agree with 9k.

Personally, I don't like those chrome rims. Way too shiny and the sidewall looks pretty thin.

Not hating the car, just my honest opinion. Wheels are easily replaceable anyway.

If anything, it should be "free maple syrup".

Know your Canadian meme, man.

The bottom of the net is open. The Canadian would just run away with the beer. And the hockey stick.
