Tertou Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi all, I come here because this site is a gold mine concerning the Millenia/Xedos 9. I'm buying this one in a week... But my other everyday ride is the (still) young RX-8 by MAZDA too. Here is a picture I took of it in its early days: More here I'm retiring it for some months to give it some well deserved mechanical attention. It has almost 102.000km already, with some track days in the engine and the gearbox... Cheers, T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mts Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Is that a solid dark green? Or metallic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tertou Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 See if they'll let you take the xedos around spa Betcha ! Is that a solid dark green? Or metallic? Yes, I think it's metallic. But definitely not mica as on the RX-8. I'll know for sure on saturday, when I'll fetch it. I've got the bank's green light today.

Tertou Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Heya !!! I've got it yesterday afternoon ! And the paint is indeed a dark metallic green, so british. I'll try to make better pictures someday, but this weekend was too much cloudy and rainy. And the few moments it was not raining, I put my RX's winter wheels on it. 17" 225mm wide, so nice. Anyway, for an automatic, it's fun to drive. I like it already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 didn't the eunos have a "forest green" or something, but was so dark it looked black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tertou Posted November 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks MazdaCaddi, Jdubs99 & all Which engine is in it? Or did I miss something? Welcome to the of the Millenia.... Which car are we talking about, in the end ? The RX-8 has the 192hp Renesis engine, with 5-speed manual gearbox. The Xedos 9 has the 211hp 2.3l V6 Miller cycle engine, with the 4-speed automatic gearbox. didn't the eunos have a "forest green" or something, but was so dark it looked black? It's not so dark as the RX-8's Nordic Green, which really looks black if there is no bright sunlight. From the model guide here, I suspect it might be the color 18J - Grace Green Mica Clearcoat. If it's not, maybe it has been repainted... It's like the Emerald here: MX-5 Emerald Green And, though it was first licensed in 2001, it's most probably a 2000 model, if not 1999. (btw, does anybody have a scan of the 2000 User Manual and/or Workshop manual ? The car was delivered with a Xedos 6/Eunos 500 User's manual , and I see already many differences from the 1996 Workshop manual.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tertou Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Heya, at last, I got my computer back... I "forgot" it 3 weeks ago, and the last pictures I've taken were on it. So, here they are: As you see it's a beautiful green, and the 17" winter wheels fit so nicely on it. Now, the hardest part will be to keep it clean, especially this season.
