1st autox in the 8 and it was gr8!!
So if it wasn't for the food poisioning, I'ld still be grining over this weekend. I'm use to driving a sentra spec v on 615's in stx for the last 3 years, so the jump to bs and rwd was a little intimidating to say the least.
But I must say, the bfg r1's that I got (I know they are not as quick as others) plus the car are AWSOME!! I didn't have any oversteer issues and only had to fight understeer twice, stupid off camber spin cones. But I just can't wait till some warm dry weather, which will be about august here in oregon! The results are posted on the website on thursday so if I'm anywhere close to the Mueller's time in their fsp focus I'll be stoked!! Cheers!

Welcome to the club. My previous car was a mildly prepped D-stock '06 WRX, so learning the RX-8 has also been a major adjustment. It's definitely an amazing car to autocross!
