Hey all,:seeya:

My name is Ervin. I am 26, and am currently a rotor hater. I'm here because the site was mentioned to me by a couple of friends. Before I get flamed let me explain my disposition on rotary engines. I had an 88 TII which was an utter POS, likely due to the prior owner. Since then I have had a sour taste in my mouth for them. However, due to some pushing from a couple of buds, I am considering giving them another chance, and picking up a RX8. I can't afford an FD right now.

I am still a rotard, :rofl:but, am willing to learn. Which is why I came to this site.

welcome to the site, wangan.

Welcome aboard, thx for giving the Wankle another try... So do u HAVE the 8 now, or looking to purchase one?

[Wangan_X]

Undecided, I am only in consideration phase... I am no stranger to modified cars, but, right now I have three different(very) cars in mind.

CTS-V
RX8
STI

All sit in roughly the same cost, and this will be a daily, I am looking to pick something up that will be reliable but still have a fun factor, but, I require 4 doors or accessible rear seats.

Past cars

400WHP Evo
350WHP Mk 1 MR2 with 3SGTE Swap
160WHP Mk1 NA MR2
Merlin Motor'd 1969 Chevelle
440WHP 06 GTO
335WHP Chevrolet Monza Spyder

Never done a Euro, don't want to, had to fix my mom's 318 all the time when I was at home.

Wangan, if you have a problem with the rotary engine part of an RX, we can fix that. :001_302: We just do the :Chevy_anim: mod. It's the best mod to give low end torque.

[SpooledupRacing]

Well if you have had an EVO you dont want a STI.

The cadilliac is nice and powerful but for what u pay it is quite chimpsey.

I say get the 8... its nice, fun, has some room, and with the 6 spd is quite a "quick" car.

05 CTS-V's with <30k can be had for 2-3 grand more than 05-06 rx8's

I know the STi's are alot different than an Evo, but, different isn't always a bad thing. I really want a PB RX8 and there are a couple for really decent price down here.

sure, you will lose a few friends, but you can easily replace them with other friends who welcome you with pistons. =]

welcome, I'm a fan of Winning Blue on the 8s and any color FD.

I have a buddy who owns and Evo 9 completely done up and he went to drive a STI and said in comparison the STI failed!

I have driven a stock evo 9 and an sti and the only think I like best is the sound of the STI.. but driving wise the evo is better IMO

the CTS-V is still just a caddy. ICK!

[Wangan_X]

you guys are too much. :D

the V may be just a caddy, but, from what i hear they are pretty rockin. plus it would get my dad and uncle off my back (about buy American)

I was actually going to buy a RX8 before I bought the Evo, but, the sales group tried to sell it to me at 19.8% apr Mazda Financing. I just left.

I don't know at this point.
