New Owner
Hello everyone. New Rx-8 owner here in Orlando FL, just got it last weekend. I'm already in love with it and see myself in it for quite a few years.
04 GT MT Blue 50k Mi I don't plan on doing many upgrades to it. I want to tint the windows, powder coat the wheels, and maybe debadge it. In that order. Depends on how much the last 2 cost since I can live without that. Upgraded from an old ass 92 MR2. It didn't cross my mind I'd find any similarities but I have. I've read what I can about it, a little shaky getting used to taking care of a rotary engine. I work 2 miles from home (noted as an extreme condition) so I've been taking a extra few miles by going around the block just to go to and from work. |
Welcome!

Congrats.. We have the same color and model :)
I guess you will have to make sure you have the longest short drive to work as possible :) |
Welcome and congrats.

Lol, heard that before.
If your concern is flooding, that is not needed, just be sure to let it warm up 5-10 minutes before leaving. Now, if ur concern is just taking the long way so you can zoom-zoom around the neighborhood, then by all means, proceed:) Congrats!! I'm not worried about the flooding, the temp guage has just enough time to get to the right temp before I get home. I just heard that numerous short trips are terrible on any vehicle. (The effects are very prominent on my motorcycle where it runs rough and the idle is odd. Then I drive it a half hour to soccer and it runs like new again. *shrug*) Thanks everyone for the welcome. :) |
Another Orlander...lol
Welcome and Congrats..! :p I read Altamonte and it made me giggle... It seems like Altamonte is the start of a fountain of "8's".... Prior to getting my "8", I used to work out there and I would see and drool over all the RX-8's driving around... Now, that I own one.. I've been out there a couple of times to the mall... and I have yet to see one...Go figure!! |
