Throw me a private message if you want a hand finding your 8, to see mine, or just talk.

Check out Bremma's car (click his profile on page 1 of this thread and PM him). He's been selling the blue beast for about 4 months now. It's a real nice example - best seen in the flesh.


Word of warning when buying an 8, ALWAYS get a compression test done. Al Marsh can do this and give you a rough indication of how long until the engine will require a rebuild. He's straight up, and my first choice of rotary guys in Chch (by a long way).


Shout out when you have an 8 and we can arrange a meet/cruise.

Having a regular meet up for chch rx8 owners is an excellent idea. Lets get onto it
