New here but not to rotaries

Hi all,

I have decided to explore the RX8 world after having been involved with RX7s since 1999. I'm excited to learn more about these and I look forward to chatting with you all.

thanks,

Just picked up a 2010 GT. Seller claimed it was a blown motor, but I got it to run and drive with a set of plugs and LS2 coils from BennettBuilt. I'm going through and addressing problems like the keyless start fob not working, the passenger side door handle doesn't open the door from the inside, and a few other quirks.

Glad you were able to find one quickly! No doubt you got the car at a good price! Would love to see pictures of the car!

Haha, I got two of my RX8’s like this dirt cheap because owners thought the engine was toast. Should still run a compression test to be 100% sure though. Good find!
