I am still uploading the walk around vids they are kinda big, here are the pics, the full album can be seen by Clicking Here!
that's it for the post, they removed the engine cover for me, you can't see jack from with the hood open.
There are 13 pics in all, I am not posting them all here, hit the album to take a look at the rest.
The videos are here when they are uploads: Black RX-8 Walkaround
Yellow RX-8 Walkaround 1
Yellow #2
Yellow #3
I have to go back tomorrow to drive it, it had just arrived and not had the plastic off or anything as you can see from the pics. I did hear it run sounds nice, the engine is quite a ways back, the alternator is behind the front torque brace if that gives you any idea, it clearly says Mazda 13B right on the block, they did change the oil filter mount a bit to bring it out into the engine compartment.
My initial thoughts, nice classy car, won't seat 4 adults comfortably, but you could easily put 2 kids or 2 midgets in the back. Seats are great, rotor symbols all over. Would I buy one? Prolly not, not really my style, but I dunno maybe if I had the cash, the car has some Bling for sure and can't wait to see what else becomes available. 247 HP, comfortable front seat, interesting gauge layout, pretty much like all the other pics you've seen I just got to play around with it some. They took off the engine cover, let me tear some plastic off, crawl around, etc,etc...
I'll post some more thoughts in a few, i still haven't eaten LOL

Yea one other thing I should note, the paint was not impressive. I noticed a lot of orange peel in the sunlight and the showroom light. Definetely would consider having a good paint job done on it if I dropped the 30K
