New member to RX8club but no stranger to rotaries

Hello there,
I am new to the group but not to rotaries. Currently in 2 FCs and 1 FD and daily driving a Turbo FC.
Been around rx7s for about 13 years and looking to expand into a S2 RX8.
Currently surfing the RX8 club for information for new owners. I am in the Research and Development phase of the RX8. Open to learning more about the RX8
Currently at Dublin Mazda as Heavy Duty Service Tech.

Also Known As rotary#10 on the rx7club.com

Welcome, some of the info might not be that new to you but still give the new owners thread a read or two read this!
I'm sure you know to get a comp test before purchase, yes even on the more robust S2 it's still highly recommended. and then normal used car shenanigans.

Welcome.. There are a couple of good R&D threads in my signature block.

I only have one FC. I feel inadequate.

I well understand that feeling. After all RX8 = Modern day NA FC.
Both are non turbos and fun cars to drive.
Both come alive with changes to the final drive ratio in the rear end.
Once you go GTUs in FC you never go back. I had 3 GTUs's. lol

Howdy First ever car was a RX2 in 1982 and then a RX3 Coupe 2 years later. These are fetching over $50k in Australia now. Just bought a 2007 RX8 in pearl white with 65000km. Cheers
