The 8 is gonna be a daily driver for a bit, and I wanna get used to the car and learn more about the rotary before really modding it. Eventually prob set it up more as an auto-x car than power, the eclipse is much easier to get power out of :) 05rex8 08-27-2008, 07:47 PM oooo nice eclipse. That body style is the ONLY eclipse that looked good. Those were fast too! briann 08-27-2008, 08:41 PM Congrats&welcome :) Did you ever have black wheels on your Eclipse? I think it would look sickkkk. :lol: So you feel any difference between them? 05rex8 08-27-2008, 08:45 PM ^lol..does he feel a difference.....lets see....rx8=torque less wonder :) NgoRX8 08-27-2008, 08:55 PM welcome. enjoy the car. it will be a different feel than the eclipse for sure. RXallan 08-27-2008, 10:55 PM I have a DSM too ! After owning my RX8 for 3 moths, I still cant believe how bad the DSM handles. Ross_Dawg 08-27-2008, 11:09 PM Nice rides man... let the modding begin! Fortunate Few 08-27-2008, 11:25 PM omg if your eclipse looks like that i cant wait to see what you do to the 8. welcome to rx8 club. Bumble_Bee 08-28-2008, 01:27 AM Welcome...! :p |
