yep, fixing it as I go.

well drove and rx8 over the week end and would still like to get one.
Might sell the repu and rx2 but right now looking at a 06 white automatic and its at 9k with under 75k miles. This would be perfect if they wanted an rx2


Anyhow, right now the 2 is the only thing I can drive to haul the girls around with me. One 7 and one 2 and they both like daddy's old car so she probally will stay, get coilovers all the way around, a newer motor/tranny (sell the stock one and tranny), some nice shoes and tint.
Will post new pics

Had Charles at C&C rotary do a compression check and he told me the motor was very strong.
Changed the points, caps, wires, and plugs and she is running great.

Guys, with work, no free time, and working on the house I am thinking about getting out of the rotary scene. This nice rx2 will be up for sale if anyone is interested. I also have alot of extra rx2 parts that I can sell with it.

She sold and will have a new home soon. New owner wants to do a RHD conversion to her. Will miss this rx2 and the fun times me and my two little girls had in her.
