GENUINE MAZDA OEM Thermostat for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
just make sure you buy a genuine mazda replacement, don't go oem/aftermarket from a parts store.
I stopped by the Rmagic shop when I visited Japan in January. I purchased the Shift ****, and the Shift "color" (what was probably meant to be collar). I have not seen any specific threads on this or installs or how it fits, so I did not know what to expect. So in case anyone was wondering how it fits or what it does... In conclusion. - It will not work with the Axial Flow short throw shifter. - It will not work with the Rmagic short throw shifter. (this was stated in the product description on japanparts) - It will work with the stock shifter. - It does not snap onto the shifter like the stock collars do. - It does feel good with the stock shifter, but not as good as the axial flow. - It cost me 3,000 - Their Shop is super cool.

GENUINE MAZDA OEM Spirit R Taillights L&R for Mazda RX8 (Series 2, 2009-2012)
I recently purchased a pair of Spirit R taillights for my GT through RX8 Upgrades I took the opportunity to also replace the centre stop light at the same time. I have been building up a war chest of parts over the last couple of years and thought it's probably better to fit them rather than have them sitting idle gathering dust.
A well-placed orange accent does more for a build than a wall of matching parts ever could. Used selectively, it introduces warmth and visual contrast. That contrast draws the eye to details you’ve actually thought about: a fastener head in the engine bay, a shift knob in the cabin, or a finishing touch on the exterior. The key is choosing where the colour lands. Also, make sure each component earns its place on function as much as finish.
Every part in this range should be assessed on its practical merit first. Colour is a finishing decision, not a substitute for correct fitment, material quality and suitability for the position. For example, a fastener needs the right thread and torque rating. Meanwhile, a shift knob needs the right thread pitch and a feel worth reaching for on every gear change.
When a component meets those requirements and also carries the right finish, it genuinely completes a build rather than adding noise to it.
The strongest accent builds usually settle on one or two areas. However, spreading a single accent colour across every corner of the car tends to dilute the effect. Decide early whether your warm-toned detail lives inside the cabin, under the bonnet or on the exterior. Then select components that share a consistent finish within that zone.
In addition, pay attention to how each piece is finished as well as its colour. Mixing anodised aluminium with painted plastic or powder-coated steel in the same hue can create an unintended patchwork effect. Finally, check back as new orange RX8 parts are added to this range.

Orange accents on an RX8 most commonly appear as interior details such as shift knobs, seat hardware or trim pieces, engine-bay components like oil caps or dress-up covers, and exterior finishing touches including valve caps or tow hooks. Availability depends on what manufacturers produce for the RX8 platform.
The most effective colour builds use a small number of deliberate accent points rather than matching every component. Choose one or two high-visibility areas, such as the cabin or engine bay, and keep orange consistent with the surrounding materials and finishes for a cohesive result.
Orange works best as a contrast accent alongside neutral base colours like black, grey or white, and can complement existing wheel finishes or exterior graphics. Before committing, consider the dominant tones already on your car to make sure the orange detail feels intentional rather than mismatched.
Function should always come first. Before selecting any orange-accented component, confirm that its material, fitment and intended purpose suit the position on your car. A part that looks great but does not meet the practical requirements of that location is the wrong choice regardless of colour.
