hi, Im new here, figured i would introduce myself, my naame is John Chandler and i live in jasper tx. Im enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. I love the rotary engine and i really want a 3rd gen 7, butim going to be buying a rx-8 just to have something a bit more reliable, also because its a bad **** car.

well thats the formal introduction now, anyone on these forums from my area, i see a bunch of people frome houston, anyone closer.

 

Welcome!!!

 

congrats on purchasing an 8 you won't be dissapointed. Where the hell is jasper located anyway?

 

I hanvt gotten the 8 yet, i will get it around february, jasper is wayyyyy east, closest big city is beaumont, about 60 miles south west from here i beleive. about 60 miles from lousianna border, Im suprised you havnt heard about it, this town is world famous for some stupid racist people.

 

Yeah, that whole dragging bit...

anywho, welcome to the family!

 

howdy.

 

yeop thats exactly it, crazy thing is, my best freind lived down the road it happend on, man stupid people suck. but i still can wait till i get to get my car, woot woot.

 

Hey there, welcome to the forums. I have been through jasper a few months ago...mostly travel through Beaumont on my way to work in Louisiana though. Have fun here, theres a lot of GOOD info.

 

If you're looking for reliable I'd say the 8 is not the right car for you. Mine is an 05 with 4500 miles on it, I bought it in May and it's been to the dealer 3 times already soon to be 4 with a check engine light today. It's bone stock and I check the oil level religiously and only fill up with 93 octane gas. Maybe it's just bad luck but I don't know, my 9 year old M3 never gave me this many problems.

 

^^
Luck of the draw maybe. I bought mine jan 1, 2004.......and have brought it to the dealer only once, and that was to fix the sunvisor's.

EDIT: Oh yeah 21,000 miles

 

i like the rotary, im willing to take that risk, just i know it will be alot more reliable then a twin tubo 7, lol

 

^^^Definitely what he said!

 

27K miles - no breakdowns.

Just do the maintenance and treat it right.

 

and check the oil
