Another newbie to RX-8 world
Hey everyone!!! Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I just bought my 2004 RX-8 GT yesterday. I traded in my 2002 Dodge Ram Sport and my 1998 Ford Contour SVT on this car. And I just love this car. I hope to learn alot from everyone here about this car. I have had a 95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD, 95 Acura Integra GSR, and a 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Spyder. So I do know my way around a car. But I have never ever ever ever been anywhere near a rotary engine. Peace!

Welcome to the addiction.

And do not worry, rotaries are easy, they have very few moving parts.

welcome. as long as youre cool with the basics of a rotary (ie: gas mile age/ adding oil/no cold shut downs) its a great engine. some people knock it realiabilty but they are very reliable when not poorly F/I'd.

its a great car so go out and enjoy it

Welcome to the club hotrod90019.

Sounds like you go through your cars in a short time.

If you haven't already noticed it will be tough to find a car that drives as nice as the 8.

I have test driven cars since purchasing mine and had a really hard time finding a car for my wife. Most cars just can't measure up to how it feels driving it.

If you got it to turn into a horsepower monster then you may need to trade in another car it can be expensive building it up. Mazda did a great job of squeezing reliable horsepower out of it naturally aspirated.

sounds like you've been through a run of interesting cars. By the sound of your previous cars, it sounds to me like you'll appriciate this car.

Get her above 5K and listen to her purr! :-)

Welcome. I gave up a pretty clean 1991 300ZX TT and a 2002 Yamaha R1 for my 8. Sometimes I miss them...sometimes I don't.

Nice, don't I feel lame.

All I gave up was a '99 jeep wrangler.

Every day I don't miss it.
