Aipex8 still owns his 8. He has been swamped at work the last month or so and has not been posting much.

Got mine early November 2003. Still own and like it after more than 8 years.

Oh, and for pics... this is shortly after I got it:



...and this is a fairly recent one. Not much visible change

UNDead thread ; )

Just traded in my 8, she was getting tired and I'm getting old. Picked up a '14 Mazda 3. Enjoyed the RX8 for 11 years! Never replaced the engine, started losing compression at 117,000 miles (that is when I let her go).

I've had mine since Jan 31st 2004. I plan on keeping mine until my son graduates college in 2 years. It's his then if he wants it, otherwise I'm keeping it. 111K miles. Never had a compression test (haven't felt the need to do it). Still runs great. Pretty much stock, but adding the BHR ignition this month. It's held up well, bumper has a gnarly gash thanks to a bouncing piece of concrete years ago and the body has typical scratches complements of parking lots. I love this car. Still smile heading into off ramps :D

Great story - my neighbors son loved it so much that he and his g-friend got a black 8. So now on the street there are 2 '04 8's lined up.

Since October 2003 and still going strong on original engine and Hymee supercharged for more than 3 years.

Car build date was 17th September 2003 and that is my birth day as well so the car has a special significance to me.
