Welcome to the club.

Don't short shift. Once it is broken in, when you want to drive it fast, change in the lofty heights of 8k+.

Smile. Enjoy. Flick the back end on occasion.

Congrats. Year/Color/tranny/options??

Advice: don't take anything anyone here says too seriously (except the read & search responses)

#1: Lower your car

#2: Pick an aftermarket intake

#3: Pick an aftermarket exhaust


#1 will make the car look the way it should and #2 & #3 will totally enhance the way a rotary sounds. There's nothing like it.

For sure.

And clear corners would be nice.

Congrats. Don't forget to check out the break in period recommendations, the ones on this site are longer than the manual.

BIG ADVICE: get snow tires if you live somewhere where snow is any kind of issue at all.

Advice - - - - Learn how to point and laugh. It works great on ANYBODY who does not have an RX. I too was jealous, . . . till I got my 8.
Oh!!!! Dont forget to find the other local 8's in your area and go to a meet or two
