New Members, New Owners, Read this first!
If you have just joined the site, you are either thinking of buying an RX-8, or have just purchased one. Here is the short list of HIGHLY recommended reading. This list is so recommended as to be suggested to every single new member by other members, so if you read up on these first, before creating a thread, you will be doing yourself a huge favor!
New and Potential Owner's information thread:
https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...t-here-202454/
This thread was written to cover nearly all of the basic questions that get asked here time and time again. It explains some of the myths and misperceptions of the rotary, how it works, many of the critical things you have to pay attention to, basics about caring for your rotary, and what you can do to make it last longer. If you ask a question that is covered here, you can expect to be pointed back at it as a response.
New owner first steps:
https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...ot-8-a-202548/
This thread covers the basic first things you can do for nearly free that will get you off to a great start with your rotary. They will address most of the common faults that new owner's make from ignorance, as well as helping to pick up on possible issues from the prior owner.
RX8Club.com forum rules:
https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...-rules-245540/
Please read through this. The staff doesn't want to hand out penalties to new members just because they didn't read it.
Creating threads:
- You can reply to posts anywhere in on the forum, but you can only create threads in the New Member subforum until you have 10 counted posts AND 30 days as a member. Then the restriction is lifted. This helps cut down on spam and scam, as well as flaming you might get for asking a "newbie" question in some of the more critical and harsh subforum. Please don't spam the forum trying to get your post count though, just participate normally! 10 posts is easy enough.
16. Do not deliberately inflate your post count, aka "post-whoring" by responding to a thread with multiple responses when one would do, or "contributing" to threads with a constant string of "me to" or "yeah!" type comments. This has been tolerated in the past but will be no longer. Deliberately inflating one's post count does nothing but waste server space and turn otherwise useful threads into impossible to navigate pages of junk. If you want to chit chat, go to the lounge where useless threads are the norm. :-)
