Happy new member :)

Hey guys!

This is my first time on these forums, so go easy on me!

Anyways, I just wanted to share my happiness :D I just picked up a used black 2004 RX-8 yesterday (6 Speed, HID's, Fogs, etc.). I wanted to say that these cars are AMAZING. I owned an SRT-4 prior to this car, which I will admit was a little faster, but these cars handle awesome. They have some great features as well, and I was impressed that the windows rolled down so quickly

Just wanted to share my enthusiasm! Hopefully I'll be posting on here a lot now.

Thanks guys.

Wink Wait till you turn the the HEADLIGHTS on!....

Always got time to welcome a reformed SRT-4 driver!

I think you will find your brakes and headlights are now matched to the same performance level as your engine! The HID's are awesome!

Lots of good people here, and plenty of tech tips in the DIY forum! (Plug, Plug!) :D

Thanks for the welcome guys

YES, I can actually see really good with these headlights, lol. I usually had to keep my brights on all the time with the SRT-4...

welcome, just so u are warned...

Rx8club.com will soon become an obsession, but this obsession will not come anywhere near to matching the obsession over ur 8 that, if not already developed, will develop soon

Thanks for the warm welcome guys Who all has an intake on their 8? Does it make the car whine a lot more? I'm tempted to do it, but I don't want to ruin the "luxuriness" of the car so to speak (don't wanna make it sound ricey)...

Welcome! Yes you will definitley be on rx8club.com constantly reading how you can make your car better, and faster.

Somtimes I'm amazed at how much I actually read on this forum. Sometimes it gets boring because I read this stuff as fast people post it! (or at least the interesting stuff) :D

Be glad to be rotary!
