#62 of 93 Re: antib0b77...congrats....i too bought the yellow... [zinny72] by yellowrx8 Aug 26, 2005 (4:49 am)
Replying to: zinny72 (Aug 25, 2005 7:10 pm) I have yellow too. No more yellows being made
#63 of 93 yes, 2004 was the only year for yellow... by lhess Aug 27, 2005 (8:05 am)
and I was hoping they would not bring it back for 06 and they didn't. I love mine. My dealer only got and sold 2 yellows, so it's pretty exclusive around here. I'm curious to know how many yellow ones they did make. anyone know where to find that?

Replying to: secondcity (Jul 31, 2005 9:34 am) I am new to this forum and have a few questions. How large is the gas tank on the RX8, and when does the gas idiot light come on?
#65 of 93 don't know about the light, should be in the owners manual ... by lhess Sep 28, 2005 (6:57 am)
15.9 gallon gas tank according to the mazda promo booklet.
#66 of 93 thanks by secrtsqurl Sep 28, 2005 (8:31 pm)
15.9 huh? I looked in the manual and could not find it so thanks. I have a 2004 GT with a Racing Beat exhaust and in-take. I have 14000 miles on it and the gas mileage has always hovered around 14 mpg in the city. I filled it today when the light came on and it took 13.1 gallons. I always thought that it came on when I had a gallon left in the tank and had 14 miles to find a gas station. Nice to know that I actually had 3 times that (if confirmed). Thanks......

#68 of 93 Mod chip for 2005 Shinka by manofmoon Jan 25, 2006 (1:11 pm)
Hi All,        I have a 2005 Shinka 6speed that I bought in August, are there any mod chips that work for RX8s? I see some on EBay that increase 25HP. Any experiences or cautions? Does Mazda sell any? Replies to this message: pathstar1 (Jan 25, 2006 8:15 pm)

Replying to: manofmoon (Jan 25, 2006 1:11 pm) You can't add a mod. chip to the RX-8 as there is no socketed chip in the computer. The only thing you can do is use a "piggyback" computer, such as a Greddy "e-Manage". It fools the stock computer into changing the air/fuel ratio and the spark timing. Installation requires some technical knowledge and then you have to learn to tune the car. We have seen around 25 HP increases in "street tune" and up to 50 HP with race fuel. This is not legal however for a car driven on the street and it will destroy the stock cat.   Mazda doesn't sell any HP increasing devices. If they had any they would put them on the stock car, as HP increases is one of their chief aims for the car, as it already handles so well and increased HP is the main thing their customers want.
#70 of 93 New Owner by ronrutrx8 Mar 11, 2006 (9:05 pm)
Bought today! '05, Nordic Green, 6 speed, sport package, spoiler, appearance pkg, rotary accent pkg. Also did the full extended warranty. Only problem is it rubs the curb when backing out of the driveway, but not when going in...   Oh, and the dealer has the "new" sparkplugs to combat the cold start (restart) problem some have had. Starting Monday.   --Ron
