Finally upgraded!! parents bought me an 06 RX-8 way better than 97 Honda Civic automatic haha

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome! My nephew lives in Whitter and paints cars for the Sema show so if you need work done..........

 

Hey congratulations!

BTW read the FAQ for this car and remember, don't flood the car

Also, post pics or your car doesn't exist :P

 

Remember to gut the cat and make it obnoxiously loud, then drive to Rowland Heights and go take pictures at Cue with your asian homies. Be sure to rev at all the teenybopper asian girls and do the ^____^ face at them. Buy them some dranks (apple strawberry boba) and pho. Then show them the true power of the Rx8 by dorifutooooo-ing through the parking lot, make sure your friends say "OH MA GAAAAAHH".

 

What color is your 8? I'll probably be seeing you around

 

i have no idea what this has anything to do with! lol
defintely funny!

you know you like cue pics!!

 

Wow, did you follow me around. Thats exactly what happened to me.!...

lol jk. welcome to the community. I live in Hacienda Heights so I might bbe seeing u often as well.

 

Congrats on your car. Hope to see you around. Especially if you head out to the valley

 

Welcome to the club!

Remember 2 things:

1. Read the FAQ's on being a new owner

and

2. Everything AznxKaiser said

^___^

 

Thanks i'll put new photos up soon i'm looking to buy and intake but what do you guys think of K & N Typhoon air intake or AEM Cold Air Intake i heard cold air doesnt really make that much of a difference

 

^true.

Most intakes for the most part are for noise. There may be some hp gain, but IMO, nothing noticeable until after some tuning...

 

Brilliant Black and I live in lower part of whittier before it turns ghetto lol

 

Do you have Mazdaspeed kit? I crossed paths with a BB two weeks ago on York Ave by the park over there.

 

yea if i were you I'd get a K&N panel filter, an RB exhaust, springs, top it off with some 19" wheels and a MS kit and bang your set.

There's not much a girl wont do in the passenger seat of a RX-8.

 

^FACT

 

Mazdaspeed kit? idk ive been driving around alot lately since i got my car so maybe...
and yeah that would be sick but i was thinking of B&B exhuast i know how hard it is in a RX-8 as of 2 nights ago haha

 

I used it in my honda but is it bad for Rotary engines?

 

Answer to new question...

USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!!

lol umm there are around 5,000,000,000 threads about synthetic oil. IMO stay away from synthetic, just go with a standard mineral based oil 5w-30 or 10w-30 use that until you figure out whats what.

Just check your dipstick at every fill up, don't turn on the car and shut it off suddenly, change the coils plugs and wires every 30-50k, and whatever you do remember the 8 essentially has 0 torque so don't go racing mustangs and 3 series you'll just look silly.

 

Red: did you happen to catch what kinda oil your car started with? it's not always recommended to switch from standard oil to synthetic.

I roll with Royal Purple and i don't have any problems yet........................yet

 

dude i'm gonna fix up my car to beat my friends 07 mustang it has to go~! and yeah i used royal purple for my civic and it ran nicely but i'm afraid lol i have no idea what kind of oil they used on my car any suggestions to brands? i know i can search it but i'm too lazy and i'm already on this thread so HELP ME OUT! lol

 

If you go standard - i heard Castrol GTX isn't bad.


btw - Beach Cruise is getting ready to go - check out the thread

 

yeah i heard from my friend henry can oil is a good place to go and they top me off before 3000 miles cuz the rx8 burns oil so i might check that place out ugh and i cant make that meet I wont get off till 5pm :'(

 

dude...just call in sick


also, why not just do your oil yourself???

 

it looks hard my civic was under this one looks upside down andi cant find a book on the rx8! ugh yeah i thought about that i might do it.... **** it i'm doing it haha
