I live in Florida but I am working in lumberton and fayetteville area. I'm bringing my 8 back up after Christmas. Would like to know of some shops in the area capable of handling a greddy trust kit for my car. Any info is greatly appreciated.

come say hello on our local forum!

We meet up for cars and coffee often, buffalo wild wings about once per month, mountain drives occasionally, tech sessions to tinker on our cars, we even have a few that track their 8's.

Yeah, there isn't much rotary love in Wilm. In the 2 or so years I've had mine I have met some rotorheads but not many. I intend to change that.

Cool, I've only had my 8 about a year but I have wanted one for years and when I found mine I jumped on it..now its waiting to go in the shop for maintenance so I'm not driving it and man it sucks..I'm trying to find some others to join or start a group to hang out and share notes, I'm pretty good with cars but have a lot to learn about rotary engines..

royalfitz

Ive had my 8 for a year and still know little to nothing about them. I just keep my 8 maintained as well as i can so i can atleast keep it for a while. (i hope) 117k miles so far.

That's me dude, I have only been in this club a short time but I have already learned some cool stuff about 8's...

Having a rotary is truly a unique experience. The 8 is kind of the black sheep in the rotary world but I always go for the under dog. I heard so many negative things about them and rotary cars in general and when I finally got mine I shut up alot of haters.

royalfitz

true that, I hate when people say they are a lot of up keep cause in reality if you want anything to last you have maintain them. dont change your oil in a honda and it will blow up too.
