New Member- What's Up?
Hey guys. I just picked up an RX-8 over the weekend after holding off on one for over a year. It was a used '05 6 speed, just over 35K miles. Car is in great condition, justed changed all fluids, has 18" 5Zigen rims already installed. And it was my favorite color- Titanium Grey. Interior is super clean, engine runs smooth.
I've been researching the 8 ever since it came out and fell in love with it the first test-drive I took over a year ago. I still can't believe I finally have one.
I'm also not new to Wankel's- I owned an '88 RX-7 5 years ago as my first car and breifly owned a 1994 FD but it was too unreliable (as usual) and I had to dump it. I have been itching for a rotary ever since, and now I finally have one.
Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself to the club. I plan on being an active member but I will be lurking/browsing for a while before I dive right in.
Later!
Dave

let me be the first to say welcome. feel free to post some pics in the multimedia forum so we can all check out the new ride. and thank you for realizing the need to do some searching around to get to know things (although i am guessing you have already been doing so for research based on you holding off for a year). happy posting.

Welcome! You forgot to include what you plan on doing with this car in your first post 
Modding up? Staying Stock? Wait-n-see?
Racer/Ricer/Drifter/Drager? Show car?
Let us know what sub-forum we're most likely to find you lurking in

Well I'm really into modding but parts are a little more pricey than I orignally anticipated for the 8. But one of my first ideas was the nifty little gauge panel from Racing Beat (I've done business with RB before and I think they're a good company) because I also understand that the stock oil press gauge doesn't even function and it's a fake gauge (???!!!) so I would like to monitor all that stuff. But then just see where to go from there- try to keep stuff tasteful.
