Believe it or not, (I still don"t) I won this car in its present condition! I couldn't understand the choice of AT either, since I always believed any performance car HAD to be manual. It took almost 6 months after winning before I actually got it, so I spent a lot of time lurking around here trying to figure out what exactly I was getting into. I also had no clue about rotaries, and after reading 1000's of posts, I still don't. (Well, maybe a little) It didn't take me long to to flat fall in love w/ the 6sp auto. This ain't my daddy's slushbox. The 6 port w/ sc and auto work so good together its just amazing. Also if it was a manual, I probably would have to sell it beacause my wife can't drive stick. She has no trouble at all with this, so whoo hoo, i'm keepin it. My favorite thing to do is pull into the "senior citizens" parking space at FoodWorld and poppin the Lambos. (I get AARP mail, so I figure I qualify)

hahaha thats great congrats with the win... if you keep lurking on the forum you will learn alot about these cars..i went from knowing nothing to owning 3 rx7's and now an rx8.. all in about 3 years time. the forums were always the best way to learn new things or troubleshoot issues with these cars. youve got it made considering cam had a large part in building the car im sure you can call him anytime for suport or help with repairs..your going to love that car more and more as the days past.nothing wrong with having an automatic as long as you have some power they can be very fun..you should go to some local shows in that thing and show up some of those punk teenagers haha

Also, I recommend installing a heat shield between the blower and the engine. It will help during the summer months to keep the engine heat away from it.

Im pretty dissapointed that Cam has had my NA data loggs since Sept 17th and they still havent built a flash for my car,,,now everyone has to scramble around at the last minute,,,, Moon is picking me up at noon to go to the shop, so I wont have internet access to do the flash after that,,, so Iguess I get a last minute flash,,, pretty dissapointing considering how much I payed for all this...

Well Im back home now waiting for my ******* flash...
Moon is at the shop, pulling the bumper off for ithe IC install,,,,
Im definately charging Cam for the shop time considering that I will probably have to leave at the shop again...
Moon and I are pretty pissed off, I sent 5 datalogs to Cam Jr. two months ago and confirmed that he got them, over the phone, so when I talked to Sr. he claims their internet has been down for the last three weeks, why that applies to me I dont know...
Moon has doen an excellent job on the mechanical side, no fault there...
But I think its a little rediculous to leave a half days worth of work sit for two months and do it on the last day , I know for a fact that they're not busy,,,,

Hey Rotr8, be patient, when you hear that sick "whine", it'll all be worth it.
Hey Shinka and 13b, thanks for the help getting my stuff up. In the coming years I may be able to figure out how to get more than 1 picture to fit in and list the mods. If OD can do it, there may be hope for me yet.
Hey Rote, you drove this car before me? You bastard! Kiddin, hope ya heard the "beep".

Ive got everything, the Dude I assume you guys are talking about, why would I have bought serious hardware without management....
Anyway Cam was supposed to build a custom flash based off my logs.... which I sent two months ago and then again last month...
Anyway Moon and I reached a stopping point and will continue tomorrow,
So I finally got the flash from Dian so Im good to go...
At this point its water under the bridge, but I was pretty fired up earlier today...
