Hi All,

I had asked about the break in period after several other owners mentioned "taking it easy for the first 1000 miles"... I wanted more information and I got some great advise including the Japanese Rotary engine manufactures break in schedule (which I am following like a fanatic- if I say only 75 miles until 7000 RPM one more time my wife might erupt and floor it for me). I am sorry if new owners questions seem redundant to some but I am very VERY happy with all the information I have gotten about my new ride. As for the owners manual the break in information seemed to be a bit basic so I asked all the experts here and I am happy I did!

Sorry again if my questions are bothering, no need to read and reply but your "flame" did give me a good laugh;-)

Yogi

currently at 6000 RPM for the next 145 miles...at 5300 the other day I hit 102 MPH and the car was pulling up a long hill at the time... ZOOM ZOOM indeed friends!!!

The car seems perfect to me right out of the box...

I will be adding heat shielding to the center console ( can't be frying my ipod nor my colas now can I?).

I did have zaino applied and it came out fantastic...

Cheers,
Yogi

I got a GREAT price

I paid hundreds less than Ture Car's listed dealer's cost. I contacted three dealers and never budged on my price point. On June 30 I was contacted by two of the three dealers both wanting to sell me a car that day. They both new I was negotiating with other dealers and The third dealer told me he had gotten sever calls from dealers looking for RX8. I let him know that the calls were from dealers I was working with but he did not believe me. After I bought my ride he called and asked if I was still interested and I told him I had bought my car already. He asked how much I paid and I told him I had paid over $1,000 less than his "best" offer he literally gasped out loud.

So in short I think there are deals out there if you work at it.

Best of luck,
Yogi
