hello all,

I was referred to this website by Tray Houston. I just bought a silver 2005 RX-8. trying to learn all I can about it, as I don't have any experience with the rotary cars.

Little about myself, 23 years old, graduated from App State last July. Looking to move to Charleston, SC in the coming month to start working for Honeywell Technology Solutions.

Here is the only pic I have so far, Not sure what direction I want to take it. Stock trim seems pretty fun so far.

thanks everyone. I'm definitely leaving the body stock. I've seen a couple of mods that seem like they might be a good idea. The Accessport mated with AEM's CAI might be my first steps when I mod. That will be a while though. I want to learn the car before trying to improve it any.

First off though - swapping out the fluids for higher grade ones. Shifter seems a little notchier than i like - hoping redline might make it smoother. worked wonders with my old sw20 MR2
