I want one but 500$ is a bit steep! I'm sure the price will drop a little more when a few of the others get their exhausts out then I'm in. It seems that most of the people on this board like the borla the best : )

Well, then for crying out loud come to my car meet at Short Pump.

We have no FCs or FDs and getting these guys to bring their FEs is like pulling teeth...

All are welcome to the Friday night meet. We actuly need more Rotary support.

I know a few of the FC guys would be cool with hanging out (living around the fan)...I can show up with mine, but don't expect me to be doing any fancy driving...my stock clutch gave up on the extra power, and the new one just arrived yesterday.

Be forewarned, don't stand behind my car when it's running...

No cats with a straight pipe on a rotary? Hehehe

What type of FC do you have Turbo? N/A?

I think I am the only one out of the Richmond RX8s that actuly pushes their car.... Tick's is always in the Shop..Chirox8 is affraid to get his dirty and Elara keeps getting abducted by aliens...



I am actuly on the market for a 1st gen R7 or a 3rd Gen Black FD. If you know any one that would have one in good condition tell me. With the FD it would have to be one with a decent body. The engine does not have to be perfect. I would rebuild it anyway. The first gen RX-7 would have to have no rust and drivable with no leaky seals.

91 Turbo and a 83 chassis (worn oil seals...with only 185,000ish miles). About half of the guys in the RX7club.com forum thread up above autocross often when it's in season...so something is always broken between the lot of us.

http://www.zaxjax.com/rrrweb/RRR.html
That's most of us! Note all of the times/numbers for my car where about 2 years ago.

The '91 is still running the stock turbo, MicroTech LT-8 EMS, 3"DP/MP, Apexi Dual N1 CB, some TurboXS items...I like to call it pretty much stock...

I've seen a few 8s around the midlo/brandermill area, haven't seen anyone on here that fits the bill yet...I always see a red 8 in brandermill...

You think getting meets together is bad...we've had about 2-3 group rides in the last 2 years or so! lmao...

There's a Peter Farrell tuned Black 3rd Gen at Willow Lawn Motors next to the Family Dollar. I keep stopping there on my way to work from the gym to stare at it. They're asking $20,800. Don't remember what the mileage was, but I'll check and see what it and some of the mods are on friday morning if you want.

20K is rediculas.

Thats 13 k less then my RX8 and its 93....

I want a FD but, I will also take a FC. Like the one above...WOW..

You know HANZO had a FC just like that. One of the rotar housings was loosing compression and he had flooding issues up the wazzoooo...so he got rid of it. He has the patience of a fly.

I would of taken that oppurtunity to rebuild the engine. Black FC's are awsome. And the Bi-Turbo's are rare as heck.

Hey all, just bought my RX-8 last week from Capitol Mazda, already put 650 miles on it! Love the car, got the Black with basically every option. Anyway heard about this site from a friend who owns a RX-7. Definitely interested in meeting some of you on this site at one of the short pump meets (my house is 2 minutes away). Give me some more details about it and I'll try to make it out next time.

CONGRADULATIONS!!! AND WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

Sounds like my car has a twin! I have a Black on Black Six-Speed with navigation.

The car club is my car club, not a rotary specific club, and all are welcome. We would love to have you come and join us.

We had a great meet last week with our largest rotary showing ever of three RX8's. But, we had about 15 cars. We meet at shortpump cause we got kicked out of basicly everywhere else. But its a good group of folk. People drive down from DC and from MD just to come.

But, you have had your car less time and you have more miles then Chirox8 has on his! Congrats!

Look forward to hearing more about your 8!
