RX8 and a Truk....
Thread Starter
I'm still on the fence - not with what I want to replace the car, but if I really wanna sell. This car is plain to inconsistant for my tastes. Asked last week I would have said I'm 90% going to sell! Today though, the engine in my car felt GREAT! It's got me questioning whether or not I want to get rid of it - ESPECIALLY now that the car only needs black non-polished-lip rims to be Complete. 
Anywho - I'm shopping audis.
But won't sell my car unless I got offered the right deal...so - yeah, in no hurry to sell I suppose, but would if things worked out.
Make sense? barely does to ME even

Jingle Ballzzzz!
Sounds like a good case of boredom to me... (... been there, done that, got the teeshirt, washed the car with it, then burned it.... ) Bummer too - after you just put a lot of money into it

That car SURE LOOKS HOT...
During the drive for these pics, w/ my family (2 kids, wife), the car felt mostly gutless. NO faster than my old Probe GT - stock.

I think your car has an evil twin...with a shitty motor....that trades for your car every once in a while...just to F**K with your mind.
Since the oil filler replacement...mine has probably run the best it ever has. That stupid chirping noise when the SSV opens is gone...and it is a lot smoother.
My warranty is up in about 500 miles.....I have been checking everything and getting the little crap fixed....the dealership is being awesome. They are fixing everthing that I complain about pretty much.
I got a 1/2 tank of crap gas the other night. The car ran like **** til I burned it off with a little methyl hydrate and a good hot run

Ya know, Dan - I think you're right! Btw - today I noticed a 'whirring' or 'chirping' noise.
:-/
w/ the family in the car I could go WOT and barely pull ahead of traffic.

Nice looking car the strakes really add something. I just put clear corners and strakes on mine. I saw base decals on the window. What base or post do you work on?

Thanks!

dmp, I feel your pain. I love this car and hate aspects of it at the same time.
