^ Yes, 3 peddles are so much more fun in this vehicle, just my opinion. Found an '05 with just 8k miles and had to have it.

Looks like quite the setup. what area are you in? You should check out stancewi.com its a somewhat small localish forum, but is growing extremely fast. They do 2-3 big shows every season and multiple meets.

Intro Time

Hey all, Figured I'd pop in and say hi, I'm From the Burlington/Lake Geneva area. Black '06 sport MT, Konig rims, and a batmobile spoiler. I literally just started driving her Wednesday, and the clutch went out on me last night on my way home..... If anyone would be nice enough to offer advice on replacements I would be forever in their debt. Thanks All!

Dietbudda,
You should contact Randy at Triple R Auto Sports in Waukesha. He's one of the best Rotary mechanics in the area. He might be able to help you out. He's at 262-719-0141

Zoom, Zoom!

Randy is the ****. He hooked me up with my RX8 and suggested the clutch to put in mine. I went with the ACT HD setup. The clutch is awesome except for some chatter and odd engagement at times. Probably due to jumping the gun on break-in.

I appreciate the input guys, I'm pretty sure I'm going to upgrade the clutch to an ACT street clutch and the streetlite flywheel. I'm not looking for incredible amounts of power off the bat, but once I have the money Turblown engineering is definitely getting a call from me.

Afternoon guys,
I know Randy, i know Randy REAL well, hes good people. I bought my first American rotary from him and worked on my stage 3 G60 Corrado in his garage back in the day when he was living with a VW tech i knew.
I've already spoken with him and he'll be attacking the tuning for me, it should have gone to him 2 weekends ago, but we found an unexpected oil leak and i got SUPER sick this last week, so right now, it sits on stands over a piece of white paper, hoping to fix up the leaks this week.
