Ok, so I’m a new member, even though I’ve been using this site for info for the last year or so. A year and a half ago, I bought a 2006 Rx8 GT from a friend. Since then, it has been my daily driver.

 

Welcome.

 

 

Welcome my friend! I would point you to the must reads but it sounds like you've done that.
Good to have another owner on the forums!

 

Thanks, man. I haven’t done the deep dive on this forum, but I’ve found useful info here for basic stuff. To be honest, I’ve started to grow tired of my Rx8. If it was a manual, I might enjoy it a little more. However, it’s been causing me more trouble than joy as of late.

 

I can understand that my friend. The car doesn’t really wake up all the way until around 6500-7k rpm. The lower redline must not be as fun.
Manual Transmission Rx8s can be had for cheap these days too if you want a project.

 

If I could afford a project right now, I would. A friend is selling me what was going to be his project car, but is the most mechanically sound used car I’ll find.
