7 years later...I somehow ended up with a RX8
yupp, so I joined in 07 while I had a beautiful and amazing RSX type-S. I made a couple threads but people thought I was trolling when I asked if this car is faster around a track than a e46 m3.
After my beloved RSX was t-boned in 2013, after I spent hundreds of hours working on it, nourished it, loved it and drove that vtec engine like a race car for 8 years w/o any issues; I thought Id chill and got a auto SC300, which was pretty cool but I quickly outgrew the auto and heavy sc300. I always loved the rx8 and wanted a red R3 more than anything else. I found a 40th anniversary with 23k miles on it and had to get it.
so here it is:
My first love at her prime
my buddies rx8, i drove it once and loved it
Hit, I regret not fixing it and keeping it
The next whip, clean low miles but auto. Actually handles really damn well but doesnt like to transition..and the tech and luxury in this old car is still top shelf.

It came with a Mazdaspeed intake and Borla catback (i think sway bars too) . Since there isn't much power to be gained with mods the only things I might do are reliability mods (radiator, ls coils), looks, and brakes. I would like to swap the intake for a revi one though since my friend hydro locked his 8 back in the day.
