(Re)Introduction

So, I joined up here last year when I first got my RX-8, but I haven't really been active on the forums and just recently starting going to meets at Dick's. So I figured I would reintroduce myself and my car so people going to the meets aren't like, "Who the hell is that dude?" I'm David and I've got the RX-8 you can see below. It's on Koni Yellows and Tein S-Techs and 18x8.5 RPF1s with RE040s and has a Corksport exhaust. I'm not really looking to do anything too crazy with it as it is my daily, but I do want to eventually get into autox. Any advice on what I should do to it next would be really cool and I'm sure I'll see you guys at Dick's.

Yah, we're lucky if we break 5 and there were a handful of Dick's meets with just Brad, Shin and I.

Welcome! There's an autox school on Saturday and then Monday, Memorial Day, is gonna be a blast. Brad and I are going... it's in Bremerton.

I'd love to make it out this weekend but I've gotta get my tranny done before I try that haha.
And RPF1s are great wheels. Relatively cheap and really light. Best bang for your buck.

It is a WA 8club thing. You have to do a circle jerk with them at Dicks and get your picture taken
