Hey everyone... im getting my 8 in a week or so hopefully, love the rxs and want to get into rotary power and learning everything they have to offer..

thanks in advance for any help that you guys give me :)

welcome :)

where are you located we are having a big meet in MA, stop by if you want.

Congrats - hopefully! lol

welcome to the fun.

congrats I hope you get it. I got my first rotary and M/T this past January and I have to so I absloutely love it....kicking myself from driving an A/T for so many years, lol.

What color are you planning on getting?

just a few pointers...

rotaries are very very very demanding w/good (gas)
rotaries are very tempermental
don't flood the engine
don't grand-pa drive the 8.
be ginger w/the 8 during break in period (there seems to be debates about this)

Im not really decisive on the color. Im getting through wholesale at work $so im not to picky.. i did say no A/T :) If i could id love to have the red on red/black interior (dreaming) or the blue or grey. It dont matter though just as long as i get my 8!!!!

Welcome to the club

I have the Red with Red/Black interior with AT. AT has a little less HP, but it not that much less and is still fun to drive in manual mode with the paddle shifters. Once I upgraded my tires, wheels, and brakes, I run about equal to a stick on anything other than absolutely straight roads.

What options are you getting? Nice job that would hook you with a good car instead of some ugly GM garbage. The wife got a minivan from work some years back. I hated it so much, but was stuck with it for some time :banghead:

Welcome and Congrats....! I love my "8"... Still to this day, I feel like I just got it yesterday.....!

Welcome!

Read the stickies in the tech section.

Its my first day with it so im enjoying it. Once i get my digi on it ill post pics!

BTW: I need a shift Knob.. it didnt have one from auction and they just stuck some crap over the tape and shit around the actual shifter. Im in Baltimore MD if anyone is close with one that i can buy! Thanks!!!

Congrats!


There are plenty of aftermarket shift knobs available. The voodoo knobs seem to be most popular, but a search for threads with 'knob' in the title should bring up a bunch.


There's also engraving options, too. Check out knobmeister.com - here's the link (http://www.knobmeister.com/KnobsMetal.htm) to their engraved metal ones.

Welcome!
