Undriven RX8

I recently bought an 05 Shinka with less than 500 original miles. Still can’t believe it myself. Looking to connect with people in my area of North Georgia as I’m sure I’m going to need rotary connections as this is my 2nd time around with one. Thanks!

Wow! Hard to believe someone would put away a car like that so early! Congrats!

Be sure you look through all the rubber parts and flush every fluid stem to stern. Anything with a belt, hose, diaphragm, or bushing, and coolant to diff. The DF brake rotor looks rusty (could be a weird reflection) in the one photo, and it shouldn't be based on the others. Lots of rot is possible in 20 years, and that's the danger of cars that sit.

Under driven RX8

Congratulations!I thought I was lucky when I found a 2005 GT Titanium gray with 38K original miles sitting for 8 years.If you were in New Jersey I’d recommend Jim@ JPR in Blackwood for ALL Rotary needs.

Impressive find!

Where in north GA are you? I'm in Dawsonville. There are some rotary meets in the Buford area twice per month, check out the 'Old Guys with 12A's Club' on RX7club or Facebook facebook.com/OGTAGA

Also Deals Gap Rotary Rally is coming up next month in Bryson City, NC, lots of rotaries will be there
