All righty,

Here goes the neighborhood!



Last week I bought a 2004 Mazda RX-8 from my local dealer.



It's a 6-speed,Titanium Gray model with the following:



RSW-Rear wing

1SP-Sport Package (DSC,Xenons,etc.)

2AP-Apprnce. Pkg. (Fr.air dam,rear/side aeros)

2RP-Polished accents,F/R

(They forgot 'em initially,I just installed them today-)



And I just ordered:



Rotary Extreme's OEM-Japan Clear side-markers

(A bargain at $70 a pair,imo!) rotaryextreme.com

(Note:Recieved them and removed the internal reflector for better light distribution,

am also adding 'stealth' bulbs to side markers AND front and rear blinkers,giving the 8 more clean,white lines to go w the Ti gray-)



RX-8 factory Cover (Blk/gray)



Factory MP3 Player

(A shortcoming I'm willing to drop $350,total,to fix-)



Fr. Splash Guards

(To complete the 'aero' look,imo)



Mazda Bra (w/spoiler model)





My first tank I averaged 15 mpg mostly city,breaking it in.

Tank two was 17.7 mpg,with a bit more hwy driven.





Next will be the MazdaSpeed f/r braces,and I'm thinking on potential subwoofer configs for the car,as well.....then the 'eyelids' for the headlights,paint the f/r calipers,and add a center-console gauge-package and I'll be ready to re-do the seats in leather.....



Stay tuned,I'll keep my adventures updated in this thread,as there's to be some touring this summer,and posting pics here might just come in handy!
