New member from West Michigan.
I recently bought a 2010 rx8 with 14,000 miles on it.
this car is super fun.
I’ve been into the fords for the last few years and built a 15 f-150 ecoboost by lms and ended up with 489whp with minor bolt one. Then had them do a full build on my 16 focus rs. Ending. At over 525awhp.
Then had them do my 2.0 edge with a simple e30 tune. So I’ve fell in love with boost but have always wanted a wankle so I got one
. Can’t believe how fun this car is. It’s my go cruiser. Did bhr coils, lower tstat, cat delete, and filter. Ordered shocks and coils and are ready to install.
Killed the first set of tires in 3/4 tank of gas.
After the summer rush at work I’m gonna get to more mods.
Hoping to learn a bunch from this forum

The car fax came back clean with no issues one owner.
The sales rep that took it into the Mazda dealer I bought it from had no idea about the car. But as I was loading it on the trailer a staff member came out and said the previous owner had Parkinson’s and was unable to drive it anymore.
I also had the compression test done and came back with my lowest reading of 7.9. So the motor was great.
Big shout out to Charles at BHR. He took the time to answer all my questions and guide me through this purchase and steered me clear of a few cars with bad compression trying to be sold off as great cars.
He did this for about eight months before I bought so stand up guy.
