I got one too. Just got it installed and I love it too! Can't recommend it enough.
RX8 Series 1 OEM parts are genuine Mazda replacement components for owners who demand factory-correct fit, calibration and known-condition quality. New genuine parts remove the uncertainty of second-hand components and keep your rotary running exactly as Mazda intended.

APEXi Electronic SMART Accelerator Controller with Harness for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
Boost 1 felt impressive indeed. Very easy to chirp the rears and get TRC active. This would probably be the all-round mode you could use every day. Lovely accelerator response and a positive feeling that the car is faster off the mark. Boost 2... where do I start? Perhaps with the black lines I've been leaving on my test track. This mode is absolutely ridiculous, and care should be taken when the car is in Sport mode and TRC turned off. You can easily get the car to light up the rears with the absolute minimum of effort. The first time I tested this I was genuinely surprised and had to tap the brakes and give out a sigh of shock. Amazing power delivery... it feels as though the car has been turbocharged and off the line performance is stellar. All in all, for around $250 delivered, this is one amazing piece of hardware. Overall rating: A++ Takes the sluggishness out of the IS to transform it into a spritely beast.
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.
Well made and it fits. What more needs to be said?
HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust with Titanium Tip for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
I have it installed with the resonated bhr midpipe. I used to also have it installed with just a gutted oem pipe. It sounds real nice. If you keep rpm's under 4k, it's not too loud with a lower rumble, but above that and it'll start ripping.
RX8 Upgrades supplied AutoEXE flywheel fitted with a brand new counter weight and bolts Brand new clutch and pressure plate also from RX8 Upgrades done and dusted with the motor being refitted this afternoon so getting keener for revival 24 every day now
When a component needs replacing on your Series 1, nothing closes the loop like a genuine Mazda part. RX8 Series 1 OEM parts are built to the exact specification the car left the factory with. As a result, fit, connection design and calibration are never a compromise. That matters most on components where tolerances are tight or where the part communicates directly with engine management. Moreover, a used item of unknown history introduces variables that a new genuine part simply does not.
Owners searching for Mazda RX8 OEM parts Australia or genuine Mazda RX8 parts Australia will find this range covers the functional replacements that matter most for a well-maintained or carefully restored Series 1. Learn more about the manufacturer at Mazda Australia.
Some repairs tolerate a near-enough approach. However, others do not. Fuel-system, electrical, hydraulic and sealing components all sit in the category where correct specification directly affects how the car behaves. For example, an RX8 OEM MAF sensor must read air-flow within the parameters the ECU expects. A worn or non-genuine unit can cause hesitation, rich or lean conditions, and difficult diagnostics. Therefore, fitting a new genuine sensor restores the engine management baseline cleanly.
Hydraulic components tell a similar story. An RX8 clutch master cylinder or RX8 clutch slave cylinder built to OEM specification delivers the correct pedal feel and fluid displacement. Getting that right the first time avoids the need to revisit the job.
Thermal components such as an RX8 OEM thermostat open at the designed coolant temperature. Because of this, the rotary stays in its intended operating window, rather than running hotter or cooler than Mazda specified.
Production changes between Series 1 and Series 2 affect connectors, specifications and part numbers across a number of components. Therefore, owners looking for Series 2 equivalents should check each individual product listing carefully before ordering. Fuel-system items such as an RX8 OEM fuel pump are a good example where series compatibility is worth verifying.
Each listing confirms the series it suits, so always review that information before adding a part to your order. Choosing the right RX8 Series 1 OEM parts from the outset means no returns and no delays getting your car back on the road.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. For RX8 owners, OEM parts are genuine Mazda components made to the original factory specification, covering correct fitment, connection design and calibration. They are the same standard as the parts fitted to the car when it left the factory.
A new genuine part comes in known condition, with no previous wear, unknown storage history or uncertain service background. Used OEM parts may look correct but carry hidden wear, particularly for components such as sensors, seals and hydraulic parts where condition directly affects operation.
Not always. Mazda made production changes between Series 1 and Series 2 that can affect connectors, specifications and compatibility. Always check the individual product listing to confirm it suits your specific series before ordering.
Electrical, hydraulic, sealing and fuel-system parts are where factory specification matters most. Components such as the MAF sensor, fuel pump, thermostat, clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder all depend on correct calibration or precise fitment for predictable, reliable operation.
As the RX8 ages, genuine Mazda components can become progressively harder to find. Owners planning long-term use of their car may find it worthwhile to source genuine replacements now rather than waiting until a part is no longer available.
Genuine Mazda parts retain the original mounting points, connector types and finish, making them the most straightforward choice for a cohesive, factory-correct restoration. Aftermarket alternatives may fit acceptably but can introduce differences in appearance, calibration or connection design.
Check the individual product listing carefully, paying attention to the stated series fitment and any compatibility notes. If you are unsure, contact the seller with your vehicle details before purchasing, as Series 1 and Series 2 differences can affect whether a part is suitable.
