Ditched the SRT-4
Hey all!
I wanna introduce myself to the Forums, my name is Rob and I am coming from a weekend driven Big Turbo SRT-4. I have wanted to get behind the wheel of an RX-8 since 2004, I remember test driving one at the local Mazda dealership when I was 18 but my parents wouldn't Co-Sign for me
.
Anyway, I've done a bunch of preventative maintenance and already been to my first Auto-X event, the car is a pleasure to drive and honestly its downright addicting. If anyone is active in the SCCA and attends any events in or around the Eastern NC area, LMK!

Thanks for the welcome and the tip, I checked out the site and I'm definitely going to look into joining. I checked out the members discount pricing for a new 13B-MSP from Mazda....11 Grand....Ouch!

New engines are basically unicorns.
You can get a reman engine from Mazda Motorsports but they won't accept cores so it's cheaper to go through some place like Jim Ellis Mazda Parts.
