Got my RX8!!
Ok so i got my car last night and i was finaly able to get some pics.
So here goes i have a few questions:
#1) What do you think of this intake, it came installed on the car already.
i also got my OEM air intake.
#2) My rx8 is stored in my house carage that is considered heated!! 4 hot water tanks keep the temp from going down lower then 5degree cecius. Is this a bad thing when storing a car i always here ppl saying stored in a none heated garage.
#3) The car has been sitting in a dealer yard for over 5-6months and has not rolled alot. Should i get a seaform done by the mazda dealer?
#4) on my last rx8 when i installed HID fogs my car battery would not stop deing. I was connecting the HID ballast to the fog light connectors. And then i plugged the HID bulb on the wire comming off from the ballast. So i dont see what could be causing the drain unless it aint the ballast and its the car itself.
The kit is: NOTTOŽ SE - Complete HID Conversion Kit
#5) As far as storage goes i unplugged the negative of the battery is there anything else that i need to do.

1. That AEM intake is good i got the same one -- keep the stock for later just incase you wanna go stock -- some people dont like how loud it is.
2. I would think a heated garage is good for the car -- dont know my 8 is outside all year round except winter when its in a non heated garage
3. Seafoam wont hurt -- if it was me i would do it myself not that hard to do cost $20 and some reading
4. Get it done by a pro and you shouldnt have any problems
5. For long storage -- put the car on planks of wood and overfill the tires -- empty the gas tank or put in fuel stabalizer, car cover it, disconnect the battery and take it out -- im sure others do more things but this is what i do

A heated garage can be a concern if your car has salt on it as it will speed corrosion. Rodents may also be more attracted to a heated garage, so you may need to take extra precautions in that area. Congratulations!

hmmm ok i guess it wont hurt for a month even if it has a bit of salt. next year when winter hits ill be getting the car rust proffed and ill ask them to clean the undecarage before applying so there should not be any salt left.
