New Owner
Hey everyone! Joined a short while ago but I've been lurking for a bit and have learned quite a few things. I've owned 3 rotaries previously (all of them were FCs) and finally stepped up to the RX-8. Purchased an '04 6 speed GT 12 days ago and I am loving it! Hope to keep learning here and to contribute some things myself.
Here's some pictures:
Cheers!

They gave me a Carfax and also in the pouch with the manual was a sheet listing the different service bulletins that have been done. Looks like it had an engine replacement in 2008. In just over a week I am taking the car to the local Mazda dealer here to have a compression test done since that warranty is about to go out on this one (unless it has already expired). In any case the service writer I spoke to at the dealership seemed pretty knowledgeable and I am going to talk to him about a few things when I take the car there.

It already had a new K&N drop-in filter when I got it. So far all I've done is disconnect the VFAD. Going to get the BHR ignition upgrade soon. I may tint it later on down the road and maybe a drop. I have to be honest though, I love this car the way it is right now.
Many many years ago I used to love Final Fantasy VII. My favorite character was the antagonist from that game. His name is Sephiroth. I thought he was a badass so I used it for everything but it turns out most videogames only let you have up to an 8 character name so I shortened it to Sephy. Yes, a very interesting story.
And may I ask how you came up with your name?
Thanks for the welcome everyone!!!

Though I think we may like him for different reasons lol.
I'll try to keep this short haha.
My first car was a POS V6 1990 Firebird. I have to admit, I only bought it because it had T-tops. Anyway, the transmission went out and a co-worker sold me my first ever rotary: an '87 NA FC. It was faded Arctic Silver and manual and I loved it.
Eventually I came across an '88 NA FC that didn't run so I gave the woman a couple hundred dollars and it became my parts car. The sad thing is, it looked better than the daily driver. So I drove my '87 for a couple years until I came across an '87 TII. Took it for a test drive an immediately bought it. Beautiful white and also manual. Drove that for a while until it broke.
Over time I sold each of them off and went through a few more vehicles, always wanting to eventually get another rotary. Finally came across this RX-8 and here I am. Sorry for the novel.
Again, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Like I said, I've been lurking for a little while and so far I really like this forum.
