doubt we'll ever see a twin tubro rotary again. no way it'll ever pass smog.
Besides, lots of the TT 7 guys, would go with a single turbo for more HP.

Cesar is selling his car?!!!! OMG, the sky is falling!!!

speeddemon32

There is a suspicious looking yellow 8 gauging intrest.... for now.


...... starting to think for rmoney reasons not to sell it. due to the recent intrest rate hike, a new car would no longer be a cheaper payment. (although I could get one for the same exact payment)..... I duno????

You know, if Casey and Jesse sell their drivable rotaries, and Loren moves near Keith, Erica and I in Fontana, you may be posting to a new thread soon.

"Once a month meeting near Fontana"

Just a thought...

Approaching 67 thousand...normal mileage for my car should be at 47 thousand. Then, when you compare what Casey has on his 2004 (17 thousand miles), you cna quickly see why his blue books for 21, and mine is in the 14-18 range (assuming no damage)...and then you have to add the sandblasted paint, sandblasted winsheild...and you can see why there is no way for me to get anywhere near my 21k payoff, whether trading it in as it sits, or even selling it private party. And the goal was, to return it to stock, make some money by selling parts, so that I would have money to modify an EVO for BSP....so, nope, this will not work for me. Not to take advantage of a lower intitial cost of an EVO compared to my 36k purchase price on the 8.

Hi, I am new to this meet thing. I recently got an rx8 this early year and just recently started driving my car. It's my first car and first stick shift car. I've never owned a stick shift car, let alone drive one. I also don't have any car knowledge, besdie side mirror, rear mirror, break, gas, clutch, e- break, just the very very very very basic car. I am interested in meeting up with you guys in the next meet and maybe learning more about my car from you guys.

speeddemon32

hey, dont get your panties in a bunch now. as of right now its just a thought. and I never said the meets would have to stop. :/

kwescott

welcome to the thread man....if your up to it, we usually have things going on during the weekends...meets, install parties, races...so, jsut keep up on the happenings...and dont, worry, if you get lost in all the discussions that happen on this htread, just say "Hey, I am free Saturday, anything happening this weekend"...or something like that.

You sure are lucky to have this, as your first car. You're also lucky that your learning how to drive a stick with this car..very easy to learn.

Maybe on the first crsuie you come on, you might want to just sit passenger with someone else....

Interest rates ( FED ) Do Not affect the car interest rates. Buying a house is based on the stock market . . thus rates fluctuate. ( not an expert there, ask a mortgage guy how it works )

But buying a car is a different realm than ANYTHING else. Right now mazda has 3.9% for 4 years . . . ford 0% for 3 years . . and MITSUBISHI has 4.9% for 5 years ( on specified models )

scremn8

i dare him to ride with you are casey. if you want him to come back he might be better off riding in one of the slower cars. that is unless he really likes tight hard turns. but then you have to remember my first meet was malibu . what a way to pop a cherry...
by the way welcome to the thread. ask a lot of questions but only in here and have fun...

KrazieKave

if you guys sell your cars, you'll be upset for a couple of months. you will miss the car, and have rx8 anxiety

do i sound like a poorly written fortune cookie?

but yeah, gl with the sales. hope you can find an evo club

KrazieKave

Grrrr, stupid Romero Motors in ontario! Grrr!

Detrich

hmm... here's a newbie question for u guys- being that i know nothing about autocross... but, is there an autocross class exclusively for rx-8's that u guys can compete in instead? if other cars can win just because of mods, then it seems like they should be in a higher class....

if you guys were only competing against other rx-8s, then that would seem like a more even playing field. plus, u would be comparing apples to apples as opposed to constantly feeling inferior due to the enhanced performance of the other modified cars.

am i crazy, or does this make some sense?

lesper4

iTrader: (3)

I could try to awnser that for you detrich but i would probabley butcher the awnser and confuse you all.

Esentially no almost any classs depending on your mods...the rx8 cup is just for fun outside the offical scores

how did i do?

Fuel4theFury

Are you trying to say you like Romero Motors?????? only a couple of more months now until i can go get an 8....but why is it that I am getting a car everyone wants to ditch out on? oh well i still like the car, just debating on a Stormy Blue 07 or any color in the 06s or earlier.

Reagle Beagle, Just going of fwhat they told me. I went to the same place that financed me for the RX-8. I am currently paying 5.somthing% and the new loan would be 7.99%

I did think about going into the mitsu dealer to see if they can beat the loan. you know kinda make then fight for it. but of course I wouldent do that untill I was sure I wanted to go trough with it. (which would mean I would have to sell my car first.)

We will see, but at this point its looking more like keeping the 8 would be the better choice right now. and thats not a bad thing. its not like I dont like my car. just was looking forward to somthing with more power. and a cheaper car payment (which cant happen at this point)

so no biggy. If I keep the car, I will most likeley keep it and look to sell the car in a year or so, then look into buying a used Evo ix. 1, I will make money on the RX-8 rather then break even. which means I can put a nice down payment on the next car. and 2, the Evo will be cheaper due to the used part of it.

In the mean time maybe get some more mods and enjoy what I have. :D Like I said, its not like I hate my car or anything like that.

Gimpo

you should all get 7s...

speeddemon32

I have had 7 RX-7s an RX-2 and an RX-8.... I'll stick with the RX-8.
(Not that I dont love RX-7s obviously I do)

rglbegl

Wait for the EVO X !!!! 70% stiffer baby!!!
I am not opposed to anyone getting a new car. Personally, I love my 8 and would not trade it for anything else. ( in my price range, cuz i would certainly trade it for a ferrari 246 Dino )

Speed . . 2 things . . . 1) As of early this year, Dealers can only pull (add) 2.5% instead of 3%. So that dealer was actually telling you they can do 5.4% plus the 2.5% they want to make on the back end.
And 2) - - - DIBS ON YOUR SUSPENSION , if it is getting sold.
