Just wanted to say whats up? Im new to the Mazda family, so I am trying to learn as much as I can. I just bought a 2004 Mazda RX86speed yesterday. Still trying to get used to it. <IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0">

 

Congrats! So what color did you get? I have the Titanium Grey with red leather and I must say I just love this car. </P>


Some important things on the RX8 are checking the oil every other fill up. The engine consumes a very small amount of oil. Dont use Synthetic. Also you can rev this car up to around 9 RPM's. It will beep at you (although it's hard to hear) when you get to 8 or 8.5 RPM's (don't remember). Iv'e had my RX8 to around 9.3 RPM's several times. This car just loves High Revs! I think the cutoff is at 9.5 RPM's so don't worry about over revin it.</P>


That's about all I can think of for now. Good Luck!</P>

 

Thanks. I have the titanium gray as well, but black cloth interior, im not a fan of leather. Congrats as well. Yea Im starting to love the car more and more. </P>


I truly appreciate the advice, I use as much as I could get. I get very nervous when I drive the car because Im not sure if things sound right or if Im driving it correctly. The advice about the revin really helps because that is something that I was concerned about. I definately will check the oil ever once and awhile. If ya can think of anything else, please let me know, I dont want to ruin this car. </P>


Thanks</P>
