Whats up everyone, new member to this particular forum, but not new to rotaries. Anyway I'll break the ice. My name is David, 35yo (Old AF), from Tennessee. I have owned a few rotary cars, 84 FB GSL, 85 FB GSL-SE, 88 FC TII and a 94 FD Rx7 Chaste White PE Package. My current car is a 2005 Rx8 Grand Touring. I have had it since it has had 20k on it and it now has 145k with the same engine it came from the factory with. So whether your stopping by and reading this to say whats up, or just to tell me to kiss your by God *** .That is fine with me, Just post away, it gives me a reason to post so I can start my build thread.

 

Nice job on keeping your engine running for that long!

Mind sharing your maintenance, driving style, etc?

 

I stayed on top of dealer recalls/tsb/reflashes, I PreMix religiously, The engine sees redline at least once every time i drive it, I Change my oil every 3k and never let it run low, I run Rotella T5 Semi Synthetic 15w40, Wix Filters, Change my plugs every 10-15k and I don't run stock ignition coils. I run D585's with MSD plug wires. I have been through 2 clutches, and i ALWAYS re-toque my tension bolts every time the transmission is out. Oh, and not having a heat magnet, cup holder warming catalytic converter.

 

Nice to hear about another nicely maintained rx-8

 

 

Thanks man.

 

Welcome!! Being a rotary owner for so long has helped you maintain this car properly. Well done. Would love to see some pictures of the car!!

 

Tried to upload some. Forum/Computer is not cooperating with me yet.

 

I use www.imgur.com to upload and host photos. Works great as they give you the forum IMG code to copy and paste to post pics.

 

Yeah that's still a negative. I got on imgur and signed up up. The forum just will not let me upload photo's. It wont let me paste or type in the image code/link. I used to have photobucket, but that account is long since been gone.

 

 

Well that worked, but IMGUR isnt.

 

Your 8 looks fantastic!!

 

Thanks Man !

I want to see that build thread. One day I'll have a build thread going. But for the time being I dont bring what I want up to much. The wifes HATES my 8. (You can't just jump in and drive and you can't just put gas in it. Your cars stupid) me thanks dear.😁

 

Yeah, I just started the build thread. But its going to be a lengthy thread.

 

A good read is welcome. I have been reading and making a list I am on a down week. So while cartoons are on TV I am checking build threads. One day I'll have my 8 built and It'll be fi. I just have to be patient and enjoy my yes dears as I slowly get closer to my end goal.
