Talking Finally part of the club!

Hey Guys,

I've been pining after an RX-8 pretty much since they came out, finally my years of waiting have paid off!

231BHP
6 Speed Manual
2004 (On a UK 54 reg)
35,000 Miles
2 Owners
Full main dealer service history (+ all recalls and had a health check 2 days before buying)
Titanium Grey
Full Spec gadget wise minus the useless Sat nav.
6mm of tread front and 3mm back (Might swap them around)
No marks or dings, generally very clean!
Front pads are about 60-70% worn but thats the only thing really.

£6,500 GBP

Picked it up yesterday and already been to the fuel station twice (Expected really though, first 2 weeks are always $$$!)

Its not done anything but rain since I got it (yeh...Only taken DSC off once so far) but attached at the picture from the original advert.


I think the only thing I'm going to get for it is some strakes, unless anyone has any suggestions?

Cheers all

Nice car! I tried to convince my wife that I didn't need to do anything to mine too. Since then, I installed a sub and amp, tinted the windows, ordered the aero package, and ordered the front and rear rotary crests, and ordered some new exhaust tips. After that, I'm thinkin yellow foglights! Then I should be good for a while.

Welcome to a UK member. Thanks for the pics and enjoy learning about your new ride. Wish the Euro lip spoiler was standard on our 8s from 04-08.

you want your higher tread tires in the front. fronts wear faster than the rears, unless you are burning out constantly. the fronts are the ones that stop the car and turn the car, hence they do the majority of the wear. keep them like they are.

welcome.
