You should be able to post in, but not start threads for 30 days.

Welcome, H. Don't worry about the Honda thing. There are a number of recovering ex-Honda owners here. I'm one myself. I even kept my Honda Accord for three or four years after getting my 8.
And I still have a Honda Harmony.
Just come to the meetings and admit what you are.

Thank you for answering my question. I Appreciate when people can just answer a question instead of saying stupid things like search or read this or that. I mean thats the point of a forum to help each other out. If I just wanted to search ill use google.

Just highlighting how many times you have typed "lol" in the middle of your sentances so far.
Having fun is one thing, but treating everything as a joke doesn't get you very far. The answer to your question is in an annoucement in big blue letters next to the button that you needed to click to create this thread. I'm not really sure how to point that out with out making it sound disparaging at the moment.
So yes, reading some more will help smooth your stay here too...

My first ones where accords then civics. I had 2 accords a 88 and a 99 and 4 civics a 93 and 2 97 and my current one is a 99 hatch. My 93 hatch was a single cam on boost 280whp then I put that motor in my 97 coupe build the head tune it to 400whp. Had a few issue with the clutch. Then I came across my 99 hatch and now I'm building a ls/vtec to hold 400+whp on low boost. Honestly I live my hondas I'm all about function>form. All good name brand parts and jdm parts no rice ****. But I got big plans for this 8. Drift time lol

^ oh boy what a way to welcome the new member haha welcome to the family, Hlover1! RIWWP really doesn't mean to be mean, if you click around rx8club you'll see people stress his patience to the limits. A LOT of the issues I've researched were answered by him when I searched and found relevant posts, props to his wealth of knowledge. Let's all get along. What year & color is it, what mods have you added if any, how are you liking it, pros / cons, etc?

Thanks for the welcome. It's a 04 black 6speed. The moods it got are rims some coilovers custom exhaust and a double din. All done be the previous owner. Right now I'm fixing all the crap as work they did to it and bring it up to my standards. So far I love how it looks. Don't like the fact that it be having so many stupid issues. But let's see how I like it. I have to give it some time. Honestly I would love to do a engine swap. Not really likeing the rotary. To high maintenance lol

I was hoping to do a swap in my 8 when I bought it dead. Jumped in the deal quickly before I lost my chance and didn't have a lot of time to research a swap.
Turns out it will take 5 figures just to get started.
I now have a strong running rotary and love the hell out of it.

not everyone 'gets' a rotary . Open your mind to the possibility that it might just grow on you over time and thoughts of an engine swap may well disappear !
You will want more power though ................
