THank you all so much and i mean it.

 

Okay well just got back from a 200 mile beach trip. Damnit i love this car. At least 10 people gave me compliments too. My only concern is the MPG. Holy cow this thing will drink it. But its certainly not gonna be driven that much all the time so no biggy.

 

Wow....it's a car.




j/k...love that color.

 

Congrats on the car!

Tap the entertainment budget, it fits.

We are not going to hold you to that!

 

The car drove so well at 70-80mph but what got me was that i can get into my 5spd vert and hit 70 and my RPM is at 3100. In my Shinka i am in 6th gear at 70 and it as almost at 4000. So i know the gear ratio is lower wich will decrease the MPG but i am also figuring that with the new side ports that it also plays a factor. I just thought it would get better gas mileage and so far that is my only concern with the car.

Otherwise its so nice and drives like a true sports car. I have seen severl threads where people have stated that there MPG got better as time passed. I just turnrd 300 miles on her so i will wait and see. Until then the beer money wil be for gas!

 

Bull where did you get the rotary radio dial? Gotta get that asap

 

My favorite "mod" so far.

Looks good man, I just added an 8 to the collection myself.

 

Yes, it is a hard decision which looks better, Black Cherry or Copper Red. I know they look great together...

 

^ Copper Red over Black Cherry

Thanks for the pics OP.

 

Yeah i like the copper red too it just seems to bring out the cars looks better in my opinion. Hey Kevin wheres pix of yours?

 

heh. mine is a lowly silver auto with high miles and in need of a little attention and cleaning so I have not taken any pics...but I got it for a steal and don't owe a dime on it, which is more than most could say about their '8. :D

 

Sorry everyone its been a few mos since we last spoke. Just wanted to say high and that the SHinka just turned 5k miles yesteday and is running excellent and without the slightest prob. She gets compliments everywhre it goes and i love this car more than any other rotary car i have ever driven. Lemme know whats goin on guys with you ans i will respond.
