Welcome to RCC!! I would recommend to read up on all the basic as much as possible on our unique car on the internet as there is soo much resources out there, then eventually get into the more complicated stuff. I too started at 17 years old when I got my rotary, and now to this day its like speaking another language to people who are clueless about the wankel. Anyways it would be great to see pics of your car if you don't mind!!!

hey welcome. I also bought my RX8 when i was 17 (now 19 almost 20).. Enjoy your 8 and becareful with it.. You are doing the smart thing and doing AUTOX which will help you out a lot with the car. once again congrates on your car.

There will not be too much you can do to your car and stay in B-stock; cat-back, wheels/tires. If you start messing with anything under the hood you are basically (over simplification) going to be thrown into ST.

Whats rusting? Any pictures of rust? Simple way is to clean it and then add some sort of sealant/protectant.
