Solid is right...I have the stock Navi and it is ok...nothing special about it feature wise...Nice that it goes up and down into the dashboard but having to wire up everything throught he dash may be a lot of work. The DVD portion of the Navi sits inbetween the two rear seats. By replacing...

There is a trick to it. I have an RX8 and mine says CHECK CD when I put in a burned CD. The trick is once you put the CD in, keep pushing the button to go to the next track. You have to start pushing it right away and keep pushing it until the CD reads. This works 99% of the time for me...

This happened to me once...I jumped it with another car and it turned on like a champ. But I used two cars...the first one did not have enough juice and the rx8 still did not turn. Than I got my SUV and it worked.

Is it a 6 speed manual? If it is, for everyday driving, he can try to keep the revs to a minimum...changing gears earlier. If I am trying to save fuel, I keep the revs below 4K rpm. 3K would be even better. But like Solid said....thats not very fun. Plus it does not save you that much. The...

Hey...Thx for the tip on the EvolvChicago...I just joined and it looks awesome.

haha!! I just read your question again and I never gave you an answer...no, I did not make any openings. The sub is powerfull enough for the sound to push through. In fact, I think it is perfect...not too loud that it will wake the neighbors and rattle your trunk lid but loud enough to bump...

That sounds great...I parked mine for the winter too. But I would like to come out one day and meet the crew. So far I only have visual upgrades. I have a set of 19" Maya rims and the same wing from the Xmen movie. I also have a few body kit parts on it. I would like to add some lowering...

BTW...if you are wondering how I got the power through the rear seats....that was easy too...I am not a pro installer so I just forced it through along the side of the rear seats from the drivers side. Starting at the bottom of the seat and worked it up to the top of the seat while still...

I bought the infinity basslink which allows you to connect via RCA or direct from the speaker wires. A couple ways you can do this...along the bottom trim of the driver side, you will notice there are twisted pairs of wires. That is for the rear speakers. The only problem is they dont match...

Sort of...up north more. Fox Lake. About 20 mins from Grayslake. I have been looking for some people to do a short road trip with...so the Indy one is perfect.

Sweet...thx sanblaster.

Thx Perro...when the info becomes available, do you mind sending it to me. Thx again!

thx...I looked there but was wondering if anyone local had any info about a meet coming up that was not posted yet. Sometimes there are small groups out there that meet every now and than.

Anyone know of any RX8 or general mazda meets coming up in the near future around the midwest/chicago area? I would like to meet fellow owners and go for a ride.

I was in the same boat...have two kids and a wife. My kids are still very young and my brother has a G35. I have a hard time getting the kids strapped in there when we go for a ride. That is the main reason why I chose the RX8. Also the suspension is more livable on the RX8. The only...
