Bought an Rx8 :D

Hi guys/girls, Im Neno, 23. Since first getting my licence I've always had my Nissan Pulsar but with a hidden micro leak on the AC compressor (salesman never mentioned) for 7yrs and living in sunny Australia thought it was about damn time to upgrade.

Why Rx8?
Need for Seed: Carbon :P
May sound silly but NFSC was one my favorite games on the ps2 as a kid and the Rx8 was the starter and my all time favorite. I would rather tune/upgrade the rx8 than buy new cars, and that's how my love for the Rx8 has started.

I couldn't afford a low km, new model so I got a 2003 stock, brilliant black, excellent condition Rx8. The car had done 180 000kms and had a rebuild by a leading rotary mechanic, he sold it to an owner who used it for 15 000 and now it's mine.

I LOVE IT. Such a fun car to drive and from what I can tell so far... mechanically sound. Only downside is the economy :O But even that couldn't throw me off buying one :D

I look forward to meeting people here and browsing the various threads!

Welcome and congrats! I already had my Rx8 when I bought that game and remember having a ton of fun customizing that car to see what my own 8 would look like with certain body styling! Fun stuff!

Welcome to the club man and I totally feel ya I'm exactly the same. 22 and fell in love with the car when I first played Need For Speed Underground 2. Spent hours modifying it, playing with different bodykits etc. Spent ages driving the RX-8 in Carbon as well. Sad to see that EA don't make NFS like that anymore. I spent years dreaming about the RX-8 and finally bought mine in December 2014.

Dreams do come true huh! Enjoy your car bro. Or rather, enjoy your dream

Don't forget to post some pics of the baby. Good luck and stick around the club
