Hello, My name is Bob and I have just purchased my 2011 RX8 GT/R3. I picked it up 3 days ago and am extremely happy with it.

I look forward to learning as much as I can from all of you on my Maiden Rotory voyage.

Here are a couple of pics of my new baby.

 

Bob, g'day and welcome, when are you fitting a roo bar ?

 

Car looks great. Welcome to 8club

 

Haha no roo bar for me. Going to get some Roo shoo's though. Little whistles that go inside the front bumper to scare away animals and small children at speed.

 

Welcome.

 

Welcome outback.

 

Hi Bob, car looks great. Welcome too, from Canberra!

 

nice S2 keep her clean.

 

Thanks. Just gave her a birthday. 3 coats of Zaino ZAIO and one of Z5Pro sealer.



Its a work in progress.

 

Very nice but your steering wheel is on the wrong side

Jk, looks good.

 

Is that a Mazda 6 in front of your car?

 

Shinyyy. Very nice buy. Enjoy it and welcome!

 

Congrats! Very nice ride!

 

Yes, that is my other car. Black as well, Luxury Sport. All I have done to that is intake, Exhaust and a nice set of 19's.

 

Good to see a dedicated Aussie Mazda man!..living above me!!

 

Got a quick question. On my passenger side mirror I have a little light underneath that shines on the outside of the door when open however on the Drivers side there is no light. Is this normal or have I been given a dud?

 

if there is a transparent cover, there should be a light. otherwise there will be a rubber cover.

 

Jason is correct..

All Aussie S2's have puddle lights in door mirrors, both sides..

BTW: Happy New Year all...going to be 42 (107F) where I am today (1st)...nice and dry!

 

Yeah, I have a light only in one side. I might have a look for a protective cover. Maybe they didnt take it off when they delivered the car.

 

no there is no protective cover.
its either a rubber piece or a light.
maybe the previous owner knocked the mirror off and replaced it with a non-puddle light version.

 

Awesome! Happy New Year, Ash and everybody on the other side of the planet! lol

 

The car is brand new and im the first owner. I will get in contact with the dealer and find out why I have no light in my Drivers side door. Thanks for the help again.

 

Spent 5 days this week Zainoing my car.

Process taken: Dish soap wash, Z18 Claybar, Z7 Wash, Z6wipe down, ZAIO, Z6, ZAIO, Z6, ZAIO, Z6, Z5, Z6, Z5, Z6, Z5, Z6, Z5, Z6, Z6, Z6, Z6.

Long process due to the humidity up here at the moment reaching the 90% each day, not allowing the polish to dry, but I perservered with it and the finished product is not to bad.











Did all the little detail work aswell. It's the small details that count.





And a Final Thumbs Up....

 

A couple of shots from a recent cruise. Enjoy.
