yah, i saw this on the rx8 club board. sad indeed...

there are two black protruding knobs on the dashboard. the one on the right sets the clock- ie just gently turn it left to go back or right to advance the clock. (it has a bit of a delay, so u have to hold it before it starts to move.) hope this helps.

u can buy 2 of her cars w/ the price of urs. a no brainer to me...

pix? pix of both?

unless u buy a new oem one from the dealer, most of the units u see on the after-market for under $500 are typically refurbs. the laser lens unit on the oem's are designed to only last for about 3-5 years. and, most owners don't realize u can just change out that part and typically change the...

sorry to hear that happened and good that u guys are all ok... ur car looks fixable. just don't expect it to ever smell or feel like a brand new car again. in my exp, just putting ur car thru a body shop = adding a few extra years to a car, no matter how good the shop is. there's dust, paint...

The twisties are calling out to you, my friend... :) I go canyon driving once a month w/ my RX-8 car club. And, we have a ton of fun- pushing the cars hard on the mountains while also enjoying the great weather & scenery. One of the few benefits of living in So. Cali I think... Here's a...

Hi Gang, I have the Harmon Kardon sound system in my 1999 323i sedan. Lately, it seems that some frequencies of music cause the sound to break up a bit. When I disengage the HK audio button I don't hear this problem, so I suspect it's the 2 door tweaters. I am happy with this audio system...

it could also be the blinker socket that's going bad... i had to have my left signal blinker socket & bulb replaced several years ago, because it kept burning out bulbs. turns out, the socket contact point melted and was also melting those on the bulbs. i think the socket was $15 at the...

when ur brakes go out, the brake sensor should come on. when my car was new, my first brake change was around 40k miles. but, back then my commute wasn't as bad. nowadays my front brake pads last about 20K 'cuz my commute to/ from work is about 40 miles a day...

there is a brake sensor cable that you have to replace as well, i believe. when the brake pads get worn down, the cable is designed to break, thereby triggering the warning light on the dash. so, u have to replace both the brake pad and the sensor cable, which i believe is a bmw-only part- ie no...

Well, I guess no one has had this problem or knows anything about it. Anyhow, I called the dealer to confirm the price and the part is $450. Apparently, it's aluminum and the screw/ socket can get stripped over time. And, the only way is to replace the entire piece. My service place...

i dunno... usually the saying is if it looks too good to be true it probably is. didn't he say that it ISN'T street legal right now... Quote: "Right now the car only has a downpipe...it sounds mean as hell but definately not legal.)" i forsee this car being a money pit and endless problems...

sweet car- congrats. just make sure not to buy batteries at any best buy or radio shack near a porsche, ferrari, or lotus dealership either... otherwise, u might also need a bigger garage... <lol> [rofl]

good to hear they took care of it.

Took my car in for routine maintenance this week. Ended up getting new front brake pads and an oil change. The service station told me that my engine oil pan housing is getting old and needs to be replaced. (They say that they see a lot of these on hondas and on 3-series beamers.) They're...

sorry to hear that happened... my beamer eats tail light bulbs for lunch also... bulbs from the dealer are expensive, but they probably last longer? i try to buy generic ones as much as i can and stock a couple extras in case they burn out again

racing yellow + black leather is my favorite. next would be black + black/ red leather.

is it a fleet car buying service like carsdirect.com? what year/ options did u get and what was the closing price?

hmm.... it looks riveted all over and the sideskirt panels are bumpy. is that because it's not the final version?
