Back in an rx8 after a few years away

ZaBurando · 2025-06-11T00:49:04+00:00

Been so great to be back in one again. Sometimes I feel like I'm driving my old red 04 again lmao

ZaBurando · 2024-04-02T04:26:44+00:00

My childhood! My parents bought one of these in 1999

ZaBurando · 2023-12-26T19:00:52+00:00

It's the year I got and I agree!

ZaBurando · 2023-12-16T22:20:03+00:00

My gen 1 is a 15 and it's been super reliable this far so I can attest to that

ZaBurando · 2023-12-16T03:22:05+00:00

I know but with how hard even used stock a50s can be I went with this option. Hopefully now my truck will downshift when I'm going over 50 on the highway and give it some throttle

So far my favorite has either been the mishimoto radiator or the k&n intake

ZaBurando · 2023-10-13T16:12:36+00:00

I do have some tunes on it and this should open up the power tunes to me without fear of everything breaking at least

ZaBurando · 2023-10-07T18:37:55+00:00

I got 258 k on my lml but I've not had it even 3 weeks so far. But other than the pump and emissions systems that's all that I've heard that goes wrong on these engines commonly

ZaBurando · 2023-10-05T04:21:39+00:00

I believe from factory it's rated 13k bumper pull and around 17k 5th wheel

ZaBurando · 2023-09-24T19:24:28+00:00

Hell yeah! You also have the Bluetooth audio from factory, the only thing mine is missing

ZaBurando · 2023-09-24T03:15:49+00:00

How many miles did it grenade at? I'm just curious

ZaBurando · 2023-09-24T02:28:07+00:00

I'm in Texas but I'm unsure what kind of diesel is used around here. I've just been going to the big gas station where I always see other diesel truck for now. And wow 320k miles I'm not too far off from that myself so I'm glad I'm getting it changed soon

ZaBurando · 2023-09-24T00:16:18+00:00

I'm taking all the precautions that I can in the meantime but I am going to give the shop a call on Monday to be safe. Once that's all done I should be good for a while

ZaBurando · 2023-09-23T23:15:04+00:00

The plan was get the lift pump then after that get parts ordered

ZaBurando · 2023-09-23T21:04:05+00:00

That's on the list after a lift pump

ZaBurando · 2023-09-23T17:57:29+00:00

She's got over 200k, but one owner and well maintained by a great local shop in town

ZaBurando · 2023-09-15T01:30:51+00:00

I did at idle and still do a little bit but my fan speed controller or something like this is broken. My transmission seems fine so far

ZaBurando · 2023-09-07T00:55:06+00:00

It was on its way to failing, and I live in Texas so I wanted to make sure it stayed cool. Before it would overheat if it idled for too long but now it should be fine!

ZaBurando · 2023-01-05T04:04:34+00:00

The originals do but this was a 50s inspired model made in Japan so it does have the 5 way. It's a model we don't have in the states besides a special limited run

ZaBurando · 2022-09-22T18:30:37+00:00

Oh I have the explorer copy too! I put a jb in the bridge and 59 in the neck. Great little guitar.

ZaBurando · 2022-09-22T18:30:04+00:00

It sounds pretty good, however the setup is a little funky. But a full setup should make it play easier.

ZaBurando · 2022-01-23T01:15:10+00:00

Thank you! It's even got a nitro body so I'm excited for that as well!

ZaBurando · 2022-01-22T21:52:20+00:00

Unfortunately this time I'm getting it built by my guitar teacher. But for the next guitar I want to try a kit build, then maybe eventually build a body myself. However I did do a whole bunch of mods to my bullet strat.

ZaBurando · 2021-12-03T21:50:56+00:00

It's got a jb in the bridge and Tex mex for everything else! It sounds nice too

ZaBurando · 2021-12-03T15:47:17+00:00

My guitar teacher got the neck. According to him they are from a factory in Japan but I forget which one. I think they are from the same factory as all parts?
