New to the Forum and new RX8 owner

Hi everyone,

I just bought my first car on 5/11/13 and it's an '05 Nordic** (Thanks 04Green) Green RX8. I'd say I got a pretty sweet deal on it! For $7,200, a few minor scratches and dents on the car but nothing too big, 51,690 miles on it, clean title, and it runs great! It's also a Manual and before I bought the car I didn't know how to drive Manual but it took me about an hour to get it down and now I'm loving it. Won't go back to Auto
Still learning though and open to any suggestions and or anything that will help me.
I don't know too much about cars yet but I'm willing to learn more, especially Rotaries. I'll find this forum to be so much help so I'll be on here a lot looking for tips and tricks on how to take good care of this beauty.


Thanks for stopping by

Welcome.

That color is Nordic Green. It is by far the fastest color...

Also, for that vintage, check out the 2 threads in my signature. The new owner one is referenced above, the $100 one is a collection of highly suggested tweaks for an older 8.

And, welcome.

Welcome to the club, you will soon find the 8 has similarities with Yin and Yang ( no pun intended ) but it's a blast.
