new guy here
Hello everyone,
I've been lurking on the forum for a while trying to decide on buying an 8. Finally took the plunge and picked up a black 05 manual. Have to say I love to drive it. I've read about pour mpg and thought I knew what to expect. Lets just say I'm still adjusting
I'm in levittown PA on the weekends and Ellicott City MD during the week. If any one wants to meet up and hang out I'm gassed up and ready to go.
Also I ordered the stock aero kit so if anyone wants to help out with the install I would more then greatful.
Thanks
Shane
P.S. pics on the way but no hurry. I'm pretty sure everyone here knows what a stock RX-8 looks like

I live down by Fedex Field in MD, so we'll have to get together sometime and take a cruise. I just got my 2006 Shinka last week so I guess we're sort of in the same boat.
Did my first MPG calculation today....17.2mpg verysadface
And I thought I was going easy on her...jeeze

I zoom therefore I am.
be happy.. 17.2 is on the high side of mpg. I've had anywhere from 26.5 hwy to 11.1 hard city driving.
Enjoy the addiction and make sure to drop down to your regional forum and say hi.. i'm sure there's a regular meet near you guys.

lol, my gas mileage around town was 14. I don't know if I was seeing things but I actually thought I sall the gas gauge move when I floored it! I did get better mpg on the drive down to MD this morning.
Hey apollo, What color is your 8? I bought a set of new side sills and aero rears and they came in cherry black (not b-black). Got them for $134 and would sell them for the same. Let me know.
I'll check out the local forum now. I just missed the Washington Crossing meet which is damn near in my back yard. I'll def be there next year though.
