Hello all! Im just new girl in this rotary world. I purshase my RX8 few days ago (Valentine's day) and Im thrilled and excited! This car is sooo comfortable. I was into pistons and not into rotors. I had few cars before, even a Honda Prelude with Nitrous. Im into bikes too (Had a GSXR 1000 but sold it last year) Well, Im a girl 100% femenine but raised by my dad and thats why I love cars so much! Hope to meet new people here, have a blessed day!

Very nice, has an aero package and non-oem spoiler, looks good.
What year is it? If 04-05 make sure it has all updates from the dealer and be careful of flooding the car. Last but not least, continue to read into all topics (if you haven't already) on the maintenance required on this car on this site. DIY's and troubleshooting threads exist for almost every issue on this forum so search is your friend.
Again WELCOME!

Hi guys! Thanks! The guy who sold me the car said its a VeilSide front bumper and sideskirts. It's an 04. The guy took really good care of the car and went to the Mazda for everything and also for the two recalls the cars of 04 had. It runs smooth. Yeah Im aware of the "flooding", I was told few times to let the car warm up before driving it, also I was ttold about the oil, that these cars burn a lot of oil..

They use typically 1 qt between oil changes. Make sure you check it after every other fill up. Depends how technical and gear headed you are but if you want you can look into mods for the oil consumption where you can give it a separate oil feed other than the engine oil.
By design the same oil that lubricates everything in the engine also is used for lubricating the apex seals and is used in the combustion process. This means dirty oil that is not made for burning is being used. The SOHN adapter is something I would recommend later down the road if you are finicky about having clean oil meant for burning (2-stroke oil) go into the combustion chamber. Plus you can see with your own oil reservoir what the level is to keep track of it.
Of course this is a little over the top at the moment until you get more familiar and knowledgeable about the car but just putting it out there, many have done fine without the adapter.

BTW it has the Veilside front lip and not the bumper. Also the sideskirts are MS or MS replica.
