RX-8 YouTube Build Series

What's up fellas? As some of you may or may not know, I run the YouTube channel Garage Quinn Motors. It's a channel for automotive enthusiasts and features technical installs, car reviews, track driving, etc. I have a build series ongoing for my 2006 RX-8 Shinka that I thought I should share with you guys. I chose this car for a daily with the goal in mind of having a comfortable and quiet sports car with playful hoonability and balance. I am a huge Mazda / Rotary fan with several Miatas, RX-7s and RX-8s, but I also have content for other great sports cars like my Honda S2000s and BMW Z4 M Coupe. I typically gravitate towards the more mechanical cars of the 90's but have a love and respect for a wide range of vehicles. I think the RX-8 is one of the best bargains on the market today and has one of the best suspension designs to ever leave the factory. It's one of those overlooked and underrated cars that is going to celebrated long after it's time like the FD RX-7. Check it out and be sure to give it a like and subscribe if you like what you see.

Cheers

Quite possibly the only rotary (and general auto) related youtube series with actual substance on YouTube. Good job!

This may be the only rotary specific series that is good on Youtube, but certainly not the only general auto one. Chris Fix and Eric the Car Guy are pretty darn good resources.

Wait wait wait wait wait.....

a RX-8 Youtube Video (and Series) without a Dubstep intro, click bait title, and actually has some real driving?

This has to be a lie.


So Far, so Good..

Also, I see you are man of fine taste in terms of driving, and All Motor builds - I'd love to see more of that.
