Just bought my 2005 Sunlight silver RX-8 in the middle of October. It was a left over 05 so it was brand new, damn Im so excited. I am very interested to see what other rx-8 owners have done to their cars, and any other advice they can give me about my car.
Thanks

PS I live in Phoenix

For your 1st "mod" I suggest a V1 radar detector as with this quick thing you bought, you'll be glad to have it.

I live in NE Phx, and wrk at 7st 'tween Missouri and Bethany Home. Hope we get to meet you soon. Check the thread for the next event.

Updated to add eastsurf84 to the AZ 2006 Owners list. Congrats on your new obsession

I recommend the Axial Flow Short Shifter if you bought the 6spd, and clear corners.

Welcome! And Another8Owner, fancy seeing you in this thread. You're missed! Hope all is well with the new home. Blue-J, we missed ya this weekend man.

Thanks, pool, I was so busy working, still am on major doc to file to "end" a lawsuit, and my 19-year old came home from Tucson for a luncheon where she was presented with 1 of 12 statewide biz-school $10K scholarships, that when the weekend was over, I missed me too, as in "where am I and where am I going"

I feel like I am doing this to myself

but I have to do this, and ultimately, it should pay off. We'll see...

Sorry about the lateness of this, I've been crazy busy lately, but thank y'all for the welcome

I lOVE this car but I think the first mod I do will have to be getting a radar detector... I'd appreciate suggestions for a good one! (Box, I know you told me about one but I have forgotten which it was...)

The Valentine is in a class by itself. Just about any of them will work, but only the V1 will compare signals from two directions to tell you whether the radar is ahead, sneaking up behind, or over to the side where it doesn't matter.

Go V1

I have two for years, and both have been updated at a cost worth it. One is my car; the other is in wife's car.

Saves my tail over and over again. I have an Escort, a Passport, a Whistler; nothing works like the V1

Thanks

I'm checking out the website... it's kinda funny, they take the military comparison to a nearly wacky level. But it sounds legit and with y'all's references... might need to go for it.

Updated to add Endgame and his Winning Blue MS 8. Welcome Endgame! Everyone look out for an email in January for a 2007 AZ 8's list. It's an opt in list, not an opt out. Anyone who doesn't respond will not receive 2007 emails (keeps you from being unwantingly spammed). Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone
