    WRX versus P5 (or MSP)

    I have P5, brother has WRX The WRX Smokes my P5 as it should. 4 Wheels pulling and 227 HP (his is like 255 though with the mods) - well nuf said... I still take him in the RX-8 though. He beats me off the line but I scream past him from 25 mph and up.

    Who has test-driven an RX-8?

    PreFknLude_SiR - At least you could be a man and say it to our faces here. I never said the RX-8 was a god of all cars. I can't afford what I really want, but I am close... If you have a gripe - say it to my avatar here and don't go spouting off on a different forum. Nice integrity you...

    Who has test-driven an RX-8?

    Np - the car is exactly what it is supposed to be. The new Rotary Experience from Mazda - nuf said. I love the design all around. For the people that say it is not a sports car, well - I guess they have never driven a sports car before (I have owned miatas, porsches, an M3, etc...) . The...

    Who has test-driven an RX-8?

    If you guys go and test drive it - do the following TURN OFF THE DSC and TSC! Hit the DSC Button on the left side of the wheel for about 6 seconds until you see the TSC light come on in the top middle center of the Tach. Next - go flog the car a bit (only a car with 1500+ miles on it though...

    Alarm keeps going off for no reason

    I have it just below the lowest level (about a 1/16th of a turn above) Flip a door handle hard or rock the car a good amount and it will go nuts. My RX-8 doesn't have the same issue, but the alarm system is all integrated, etc into the car system and not an addon - harder then hell to adjust...

    Cost to Paint a CF Hood

    Candy coating is basically another term for translucent paint. You can see through it, but the more coats, the less you can see through it. It would take a really good painter ti get the colors right as if it was CF, the black would make the color look off. A good job would be a couple grand...

    Alarm keeps going off for no reason

    I have the alarm that was installed by the factory and keep having the issue (which just started) that the alarm goes off for no apparent reason. :wtf: Has anyone had this issue and how does one go about decreasing the sensitivity on the alarm? Any help would be appreciated. Ted

    How much did you buy your used P5 for?

    I got my new one on Dec 21st 2003 and paid $13556 (taxes, title and license included..) out the door on a 2003 p5 with a six disc, moonroof, subwoofer, 5 speed, alarm system) They just advertised the last 2 on the lot for $9999 - no options, but kinda hard to beat 10K for a NEW one...

    Test drove a SRT-4...

    SRT4 = Neon You can't look at it any other way. Low end Dodge (edit cause of brain fart) Parts car... RX8 STi EVO In that order. The RX8 has the refinement and the rich guy look and the STi and EVO have the Boy Racer with the balls to back it up. The 8's out handles both though :) I got...
