Hey everyone just figured I'd introduce myself and my car. My names Matt and Although this is my first rotory I've been a fan for a long time lol I always figured I would end up buying a FD but here I am the proud owner of an 09 R3 :-D It's got 32k on it and is in immaculate shape. I'm going to change my plugs, coils, and wires in a week or so because I have the "shaky shifter" at idle sometimes :-P But other than that it's a great running car with plenty of power. I look forward to being a member of the forum and have already had the opportunity to learn quite a bit in a short time! Here's a quick photo of it:-)

 

Welcome to the club. Anyway, do you have any future plans with it?

 

Maybe FI but I've already owned a couple boosted cars and it's just not practical. I love this thing because of the fun factor. It's honestly the funnest car I've ever driven :-D

 

Welcome to the addiction. :-)

 

Where did you get your car, Texas?

 

As a new rx8 owner myself the only advice i can give you is this..... sell it now, forget you ever saw this forum and run for it, as fast and as far as you can, this is an addiction about to happen and its worse than anything you could possibly imagine...

 

My wallet would tell you the same thing

Welcome to the club, congrats on the new ride!

 

Congrats. Hopefully you are prepared for the gas prices.

But what i saw on this forum that are words of wisdom:

"It's not the miles per gallon but the smiles per mile"

 

smiles per mile lol I like that :-) No I need to take the sarx sticker off of there, I live in Colorado so it was probably an auction car :-P I wouldn't have bought it but I had driven an 05 a few years back and it was an instant love affair lol Well that and the fact red is my favorite color and I made the mistake of driving this one too lol

 

How did you manage to find a SARX 8 that isn't currectly undergoing a build project? And it's another red 8, go figure.

Welcome, nice ride, you should leave the SARX sticker, then start a turbo thread. I kid, not hating on the SARX crew

 

Nice looking car, I just bought one over the weekend too, welcome to the club.

All I have been doing for the last days is reading and reading on here, lots of good info, lots to sift through to find it but worth the time.

 

welcome, read the stickies. there is no real fi option for s2 cars. this looks just like olddraggers car that the sarx crew just bought. weird

 

Welcome fellow SARX member It appears you have bought Rtres09's old car. He was a two time RX-8 owner so I can assure you the car was well cared for as I helped work on it. He will be missed

 

That SARX sticker adds a dyno proven 20whp...

 

[QUOTE=shadycrew31;4346571]That SARX sticker ensures blown motor.

fixed

 

Quote fail... Even the internet stopped you from posting false statement.

 

LMAO He could start the turbo thread, He'd have at least a year or two to get it completed

 

Hey now... that is one good looking car

 

Its not a "Build" Thread if it takes less then 6 months, then its just an "Install" thread. Haters gonna hate.

 

welcome to the SARX crew lol

 

Nothing to hate on.

 

Hating on my mad skillz son! lol.

 

So I suppose since I recieved a previous sarx members car it must ideally mean it's been taken care of then? lol I did find that it already has a k&n air filter inside the stock box so there's at least one mod I won't have to perform ;-)

 

Yeah Eric took good care of his car and it was only driven occasionally. He has not been in CO long so I doubt it ever saw snow.

 

Here are some pics of it that I took at local meets.
