Great looking car :ohyeah:.  I really like the seats.  Congratulations.

Nice...

Re: The fuse. I know for a fact that Honda doesn't always put them all in at the factory, but rather throws a few in the glovebox to be installed at the dealer during the PDI.

So its probably just something they missed when going over your RX-8.

Mazda does the same thing... when I first drove my car (basically right off the delivery truck) pretty much nothing in the interior worked as none of the fuses were in.

Beautiful color! Congrats on a very nice ride!

HA...whenever I see the front of a new Mazda 3 on the road, I picture that caption floating above the car. Black-outlined white impact font and everything.

Grats on the car..

be sure to get a bottle of dino juice to strap in your trunk.. you can make the straps for fix a flat kit longer and the dino juice bottle straps right in there.. you'll eventually need it.

I saved up so many parts for the original style RX-8 that I could build one up for free if it was hit in the front or left side. I'm enjoying this one so much that I'm going to start looking for one like that and turn it into a track car. I think that would be fun.

Awesome car. :ohyeah:

Plus I love how MX is still pondering about the car and you just go out and buy it.  Yah for decisiveness.  :clap:

Getting a 33K car for 26K and payments less than $360 a month after my down payment kind of helped with the decisiveness.
That and finding out the sale ended at the end of Nov forced me to jump. But I'm glad I did.

Sweet ride. I'm jealous, the RX8 has been the car in it's class I would have bought in the last few years if I had any money. :lol:

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Now all you need to do is find that unmolested FD and your stable will be complete! :rockon:

That will happen one day.

I'd like a FC Turbo II and FB GSL-SE too.

All the R3's do. I kind of like them without a spoiler but I wanted that model so I had to have one.

Any chance of a clean removal?

It's always possible to have a clean removal.  Some just require more work than others.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

He could always just get a truck lid from a non-R3 and paint it.  I actually like the spoiler though.

Could I do it? Yes
Would it be easy? Not really.

I'd need a deck lid from one without holes unless I wanted to try and patch up this one. Then I'd have to paint it and blend the quarters and bumpers for it to match. Painting my brand new car isn't something that I'd want to do. I'd also have to buy all the Mazda emblems because you can't really take them off and put them back on. I'd also have to take the clear rock guards off the quarter panels and get new ones and they are expensive. Not that a deck lid would be cheap. They're also hard as hell to put back on right without fingerprints getting on them.

I like them without spoilers but not that much.

Reminds me of my Evo IX, god i miss that car.

I give any carspin member permission to slap me once(full force open hand) if they ever meet me in person for selling that EVO.

Back to the topic, congrats it is a very nice car and a hell of a deal.
