hello!

I'm darin from Enterprise, AL. I've been in the south since May - after moving from near Tacoma, WA. I drive a 2004 RX8 (and a 2006 Legacy GT spec.B). The RX8 is my first Rotary-powered car. Over-all I'm satisfied with the car. The engine? Eh? I'm not particularly a fan. I like aspects of the engine, but I dislike a few things too! In particular, Mazda's refusal to acknowledge the "REAL" HP figures (based on independant dynos, etc), and I'm worried about it's longevity.

The chassis of the car though - the steering and braking too - are absolutely world-class. And the car looks amazing, too!

Attached are a couple photos - mods include: Mazdaspeed Flywheel, Axis Ulltimates brake pads, Racing Beat intake and Catback, Tein coilovers, tint, strakes, and a couple JL Audio 10s.
