Observations From the Piston-Free Zone:My 2004 Mazda RX-8:The First Week to InfinityInterceptor 03-29-2004, 05:39 PM 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-) Cost: $30,040.00 Total. And I just ordered: Rotary Extreme's OEM-Japan Clear side-markers (A bargain at $70 a pair,imo!) rotaryextreme.com 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) K&N Air Filter** ** NOT a K&N Typhoon Intake,just a simple million-mile replacement for the OEM unit. Also-My Mazda dealer's mechanic approved the filter switch,but said not to f*ck with the stock intake-) My first tank I averaged 15 mpg :angry: 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..... vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
