Hello all, new member of the rotary tribe!
Hey all!
I picked up a 2005 RX8 6spd a few months ago after having stared at it for years and convincing myself I need it haha I'm excited to be a part of this community, and since the car is a bit of a project, I've already been spending many hours perusing the plethora of information available here (I'm using big words so you know I mean it :P) I've got plenty of experience with project cars, but this is the first rotary i'll have committed myself to. I mostly intend to use it for track days and autox, and occasional trips up the mountain. I'm surprised at how much I love this thing! With the way the power delivery is, driving it feels like I'm on my R1! I'm looking forward to talking to you all for a long time! |
Welcome, always good to have a new member.
Can never have enough of the mountain driving. This car is a downhill monster. |
